Teen Wolf's Colton Haynes joins the cast as DC Comics' Red Arrow.

Colton Haynes (MTV's Teen Wolf) is joining The CW's Arrow as none other than DC Comics' Roy Harper. DC Comics fans know Roy as the original comic book sidekick to Green Arrow, who's gone by the names Speedy, Arsenal and Red Arrow.

TV Guide, who broke the news, describes Haynes' Harper as "a handsome, street-savvy, teenager from the Glades, the harsh, poverty-stricken portion of Starling City." Red Arrow will also serve as a love interest for Willa Holland's Thea Queen - who, in a nod to the comics' Mia Dearden, already has the nickname Speedy. After the twosome meet unexpectedly, Roy is "destined to become a significant part of her life and an important player in the larger world of Arrow."

"We were big fans of Colton from Teen Wolf and we are thrilled he's joining Arrow," executive producer Greg Berlanti told TV Guide.

Haynes will make his debut on the show in an upcoming episode in 2013.

The show is really cheese. The acting is bad, the fight sence is really unrealistic. A bow that is faster than an arrow in a reaction tool is so stupid. Smallville was a lot better.

Battlestar Galactica actor James Callis has been cast in a guest-starring role on an upcoming episode. He will play "The Dodger", who is described as "an elusive international jewel thief who imposes his plans on the innocent, forcing them to carry out his crimes under duress. When the Sherwood Ruby goes missing in Starling City, the ensuing investigation leads Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Diggle (David Ramsey) straight to The Dodger, but apprehending him won't be as easy as they may have thought." No word on whether or not this is supposed to be the same Dodger as the one in the comics; that character was a villain-turned-ally of Green Arrow. The Arrow episode featuring Dodger is slated to air sometime in 2013.

According to Entertainment Weekly, The CW's breakout crime drama, Arrow, has casted Doctor Who and ER actress Alex Kingston to portray "Dinah Lance" on the show.

Kingston will portray Laurel Lance's (Katie Cassidy) mother, who they note "will return to Starling City to make amends with her family that she abandoned years earlier following the tragic death of her daughter." Fans of the show know that Sara Lance was aboard Oliver's yacht, in which she died in a terribly tragic drowning.

In the original DC comics, Kingston's character was the original Black Canary. It's also interesting to note that Kingston will be the second actor from Doctor Who joining the show, as John Barrowman was previously cast as Malcom Merlyn (A.K.A The Dark Archer).

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Windows 11 gets better widgets, new Screen Tint feature, and more in the latest build

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”

    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • Using Windows 10 past its end of support date, is it really that bad?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
