Added new Stephen Amell photoshoot from Watch – April 2013. GALLERY LINK: ‘Arrow’ star Stephen Amell talks finale death: ‘I had panic attacks and nightmares about that scene’

We’ve been extolling the virtues of “Arrow” since the very beginning of the season, but even we weren’t prepared for how huge the season finale, “Sacrifice,” would be. With all the production value of a big action movie and all the general emotional devastation that fuels zillions of Tumblr posts about “feels,” the episode pulled no punches. The most powerful scene wasn’t an action sequence or a romantic reunion, though. It was the horrifying moment when Oliver (Stephen Amell) said goodbye to his childhood best friend, Tommy (Colin Donnell). After learning that his father, Malcolm, had plans to destroy the rough part of the city — The Glades — with a man-made earthquake, Tommy rushed to the epicenter of the danger to save Laurel, despite everything that had come between them. He saved her life, but was trapped beneath the rubble, speared by the debris. Oliver got there just in time to watch his friend die. To say that the moment was heartbreaking is a vast understatement. Amell and Donnell left it all on the table, really pushing themselves to deliver vulnerable, painful performances. “It was really sad. It was really nerve-wracking because, to my mind, I wanted to give a performance that would honor the character and honor [Colin] as my friend,” Amell tells us. “There were parts of that scene that didn’t make it to air, that I had nightmares [about]. I don’t get stressed, but I had full-on panic attacks and nightmares about that scene.” Luckily, it was one of the last scenes they shot for the season, so they were able to go out and toast the character with a drink or two. (“Or ten,” he jokes. “We drank it off.”) Having lost one of the people closest to him to what he perceives to be his own failure, we’ll see Oliver at a very different place in Season 2. “They pitched to me where the first scene of Season 2 takes place, and my hope is that because we find everybody in a different spot, and Oliver basically with no desire to be the vigilante at this point … it’ll be our second season, but almost like a new series.” Source: http://blog.zap2it.com/ Posted by Mary on May 22nd, 2013

Arrow’s second season will be stepping up the action by featuring not just one overarching villain, but two! Although the first season featured several smaller villains — The Count (Seth Gabel) and Edward Fyers (Sebastian Dunn), among them — Arrow’s season-long big bad was Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman), who apparently died at the hands of Oliver (Stephen Amell) in the season finale. “We made no secret of the fact that we subscribe to the Whedonesque model of having a big bad, and in Season 2, we’ll actually have two big bads,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim tells TVGuide.com. “They’ll both be very recognizable names to fans of the comic book. We’re really excited about both of them.” Interestingly enough, Malcolm Merlyn has inspired the direction of the second season. “With Malcolm and the Dark Archer, we sort of had two big bads in one person,” he says. “In Season 2, we’re going to split them up essentially, and there will be a Malcolm-esque big bad and a Dark Archer-esque big bad.” Naturally, fans of the Green Arrow comics may guess that Deathstroke will be the Dark Archer-esque villain of Season 2, with Slade Wilson (Manu Bennett) destined to put on that infamous mask. Running the theory past Guggenheim, he responds, “If the question of Season 1 is, ‘What happened to Oliver on that island?’ The question of Season 2 is, ‘What happened to Slade Wilson on that island?’” Regardless of who the two villains are, Guggenheim vows that the second season will be even more action-packed and exciting than the first. “We’re definitely trying to take the show to the next level in Season 2,” he says. “Obviously we’re feeling a lot of pressure, but also a huge desire to return with a few big bold statements that the show is not quieting down. If anything, it’s ramping up. It’s going to be cool. I’m really excited about both villains. We’ve set the bar pretty high for ourselves in terms of ending with a bang, and we’re looking to exceed that in Season 2. Who do you think will be the two new big bads next season? Hit the comments with your thoughts! Arrow returns this fall on The CW. Source: http://www.tvguide.com/ Posted by Mary on May 19th, 2013

The Arrow season finale literally and figuratively rocked viewers’ expectations after killing off a major character and destroying half of The Glades. In Wednesday’s episode, Oliver (Stephen Amell) was able to defeat the Dark Archer (John Barrowman), and Detective Lance (Paul Blackthorne) was able to disable the Undertaking device. However, Malcolm Merlyn had a backup plan. As the second device leveled half of The Glades, Tommy (Colin Donnell) lost his life, Roy (Colton Haynes) tried to be a hero and Oliver lost his reason for being a vigilante. What does this mean for Season 2? TVGuide.com turned to executive producer Marc Guggenheim to get the scoop: Everyone assumed that you would have Tommy eventually become the Dark Archer. Why did you decide to kill him off instead? Posted by Mary on May 17th, 2013

There was a lot of death and destruction in the Season 1 finale of Arrow, “Sacrifice,” but no one paid a bigger price than Tommy (Colin Donnell). Fans everywhere screamed at their TVs as they watched Oliver’s (Stephen Amell) best friend save Laurel’s life only to get trapped in a collapsing building. Oliver arrived just in time to trade tearful goodbyes as Tommy bled out, and with his final breath, Arrow Season 1 ended. |
