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).
