Arrow star Stephen Amell has expressed his sorrow at seeing actress Willa Holland leave the series, while expressing his support for her decision to do so.
The decision to give Oliver Queen a sister was one of the most drastic changes when the Green Arrow comics were adapted for television.
Amusingly, the Green Arrow comics of DC Comics’ New 52 initiative would see Oliver Queen discover a long-lost sister, though her origins were quite different from those of Thea Queen.
It is unknown what Holland will be doing now that she is off of Arrow.
