The Huntress is Coming to Arrow

Arrow is gaining yet another DC Comics character. EW.com reveals that the new CW series, based on Green Arrow, will be introducing Helena Bertinelli, AKA The Huntress, for a multi-episode story arc. Australian actress Jessica De Gouw will play the character, who will be introduced as a vigilante and a potential love interest for Oliver Queen.

The official character description says Helena is “set on destroying her father’s organized crime empire. But Helena’s blind pursuit of revenge will put her on a collision course with the Arrow.”

Torchwood Star John Barrowman Joins Arrow in Recurring Role

An intriguing bit of casting was revealed today by EW.com for The CW’s new series, Arrow: John Barrowman, best known as Doctor Who and Torchwood’s Captain Jack Harkness, will be joining the new DC Comics-based series in a recurring role.

EW says that producers aren’t giving much away about Barrowman’s character, except that he is a “well-dressed man” who is “as mysterious as he is wealthy … he is an acquaintance of the Queen family and a prominent figure in Starling City.”

Of course, as EW notes, that immediately makes one suspect Barrowman is playing a character from the Green Arrow comics. But who could it be?

Arrow premieres October 10th on The CW.
