This could mean anything from the Earth-1 Laurel we watched for four seasons being miraculously brought back to life to her doppelgänger from Earth-2, known as Black Siren, being brought in.
Back in October, executive producer Wendy Mericle revealed that Laurel will show up in the midseason premiere and will be “alive and well.”
While last night’s Arrow episode allowed Oliver Queen to give this simulated Laurel Lance a proper goodbye, this isn’t the last we’ve seen of Katie Cassidy on the show.
However the writers and creative team pull this off, Laurel fans can look forward to her continuing to play a role on the series in the near future.
