Back in 2012 just before she got the role on Arrow Katie had a small guest starting part on the first season of zooey deschanel’s new show The New Girl on episode 1×03 – Wedding. We had screen captures up from when it first came out but they were MQ the tv tag on them so I have now replaced them with full 1080p HD screen captures for you all.
Way back in 2002 when Katie was starting her music career with her one and only song I Think I Love You she was on the documentary Teenpop and untill today I have never seen any part of it but thanks to JPMcFly1985 Retro Videos on youtube we now have a little clip from it showing Katie practising. The bad news is most of Katie’s parts are not in the video and its not the best quality but still a great little watch and I hope the rest comes out one day.
Arrow season 8 came out last month (for the UK) on Blu-Ray and at last I have got my copy of it. This time round there was no gag reel and I’m so upset about that but we did get two features Arrow At Comic Con and the previously aired Hitting The Bullseye that I have replaced the LQ caps we had. And three Deleted Scenes one for 8×01 – starling city and two for 8×09 – green arrow & the canaries. You can view them all now in the galley, Enjoy!
As you can all see after some time with the last look and not a lot of updates on Katie we now have new look using Katie’s photos she has taken from 2019/2020 time made by the amazing Cherry Gem Design. I known I have let the site go over the last year and I will be in the coming months re doing all the site and getting all the missing pages up to date and adding new a cool things so please keep looking back for all that.
Not a Katie update but is to do with her Arrow co-star, I have just opened my new site on the amazing Katherine McNamara so little bit of promo work on here and I would love it if you are a fan of Kat’s going a taking a look :). As for Katie I have a new layout ready to go so will be adding that in soon.
With what is going on in the world right now cons are off for the time but that does not stop a Virtual Experiences from taking place, And last week Katie and her Arrow co-stars Juliana Harkavy, Ben Lewis, Katrina Law and Kelly Hu all took part in Wizard World Arrow Virtual Experiences 2020 were they did a free panel, autographs, one on one video chat, and a little video message. You can watch the panel below. and the site will be having a new look very soon.
CW Arrow actors Katie Cassidy, Juliana Harkavy, Ben Lewis, Katrina Law and Kelly Hu gave a virtual panel through Wizard World Virtual Experiences 2020 to talk about the show, the new show (Green Arrow and the Canaries), their careers and to answer fan questions.
Katie Cassidy plays Laurel Lance on Arrow, with both the Black Siren and Black Canary alter egos. She is also known for Melrose Place, A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010), Harper’s Island, Supernatural and 7th Heaven.
Juliana Harkavy is Dinah Drake and also Black Canary on Arrow, but has also had roles in The Walking Dead, Graceland, The Glades and the upcoming production The Lighthouse.

Kelly Hu played China White on Arrow, but is also known for The Orville, Warehouse 13, The Scorpion King and voice acting in Phineas and Ferb, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mortal Kombat and Young Justice.
Looks like a decision has been made, now we just have to hope it’s the right one.
Digitalspy – The Arrowverse’s first show Arrow may have come to an end, but there is a spin-off called Green Arrow & the Canaries in the works. You might have seen that an Arrow episode from the final season earlier this year was essentially a backdoor pilot.
Now a few months have passed, you’d hope that there would be some progress towards bringing this spin-off to the screen, but unfortunately executive producer Marc Guggenheim isn’t able to share that much with fans.
Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy to promote Wizards: Tales of Arcadia, the TV boss said: “I know things, but it’s up to CW and Warner Bros to publicise the things I know.
“Actually, it’s a little frustrating because people are constantly tweeting at me and I would love to answer, but there are certain things I’m not allowed to talk about until the powers-that-be decide we can.”
Speaking about the state of the Arrowverse in general, Guggenheim added: “I’ve finished with Arrow, I’ve finished with ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’. It feels like the end of a chapter for me.
“So I’m not entirely sure if there’s another chapter to be had at this moment in time. At some point, I need to figure out exactly what I’m doing with the Arrowverse going forward, but I haven’t quite figured that out yet… The Arrowverse shows are still going.
“Fortunately, I don’t think we have to worry about it ending anytime soon. I think when that day comes, if I’m still involved in the shows, I’m sure [my experience ending the Tales of Arcadia trilogy] will inform that one.”
E Online!: Can you believe it’s been months since the end of Arrow?
It’s been so many months that the eighth and final season is available on DVD and Blu-ray, as of today, which you gotta admit is perfect for those of us with a whole lot of time on our hands, or at least those of us who could use a distraction from the wild state of the world. To celebrate the release of the season, which also includes deleted scenes, other special features, and a retrospective doc featuring appearances by the main cast, we sat down and had a virtual chat with leading ladies Kat McNamara, Juliana Harkavy, and Katie Cassidy that somehow hit on the past, present, and future.
That future will hopefully include a future-set spinoff series starring the three of them, about which they are feeling pretty confident, but the present is somehow the bigger question mark right now, thanks to the fact that everything—including all TV production—is now put on hold for the forseeable future.
E! News: So how is everybody doing right now? How are you handling this wild time? Kat McNamara: I’m surviving. Trying to stay creative and find things to do, and stay productive, stay as busy as possible. Katie Cassidy: Actually this isn’t that difficult to be honest, because I’m just a homebody. Juiliana Harkavy: Same. Katie: But it’s really interesting because I feel like I’ve gotten more in touch with my creative side. I also feel like my own contractor, like, hmm, I don’t like this wall. Google how to take down a wall. I’ve been painting cupboards and building things. Juliana: Outside of checking on everybody’s safety and missing friends, it’s been really peaceful. I’ve been gardening a lot, and just thinking about how to make life a little bit more sustainable on our own without needing to go out, so it’s been good.
A new deleted scene from Arrow season 8 Blu-Ray was released by TV Line of Laurel and Tommy in the clue talking. We did get some of the scene in the episode but the bit cut out was a replice of what they said to each other in 1×01 and I wish they had kept it in the episode. Arrow season 8 is out now on Blu-Ray in the US but unfortunately it’s not out till the end of May over here in the UK but I will cap this and any other things Katie my be in when I can get a copy.
Even amid global health crisis, the kickass heroines of Arrow remain a bunch of straight shooters.
In advance of this week’s release of Arrow: The Eighth and Final Season and Arrow: The Complete Series (both on Blu-ray & DVD), Katie Cassidy, Katherine McNamara and Juliana Harkavy gathered on Zoom (in the video above) to talk with us about the long-running CW hit, their favorite moments, and how it feels to be one of the few shows that got to wrap before the lockdown.
“I really feel for the productions that had to stop in the middle and have that anxiety,” says Harkavy, who joined in Season 5 as Black Canary-to-be Dinah Drake. “We are so lucky.”
Noting how “we don’t even know what the industry is going to look like in a few months,” McNamara (who played Oliver and Felicity’s daughter Mia Smoak) echoed her gratitude that Arrow was able to end on its own terms. And all three shared their excitement that the backdoor pilot for a possible Green Arrow and the Canaries spinoff had already aired during the final season — particularly the delightfully unfiltered Cassidy. Over the course of eight seasons, the original cast member’s Laurel Lance went from a Star City assistant district attorney to Earth-2 meta-human villain Black Siren, while the actress added director to her resume.
Should the trio’s series get the greenlight, Cassidy is ready to get back behind the camera. “[Bleep] yeah!” she exclaims, adding that, despite the current quarantine, there are still reasons to be happy out there. “Let’s look forward to something positive.”
And until we get the official word about the future of Canaries, fans of the Arrowverse have these DVD and Blu-ray releases to look forward to. Available starting April 28, the eighth and final season set features all 10 episodes, the show’s 2019 Comic-Con Panel (moderated by yours truly!), the broadcast special Arrow: Hitting the Bullseye, and deleted scenes.
A limited edition bonus disc featuring all five episodes of the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover will be included exclusively on Blu-ray. The same goes for Arrow: The Complete Series, which packs all eight seasons and tons of bonus content. Both sets will also be available for digital download.
TV Line: As Katie Cassidy awaits word on whether Green Arrow and the Canaries will suit up for The CW, she has an abundance of memories from Arrow‘s farewell run to look back on — and with only a few regrets.
With Arrow: The Eighth and Final Season set to arrive on DVD and Blu-ray on Tuesday, April 28, TVLine seized the opportunity to catch up with the original cast member and revisit Season 8’s highs and lows, including her directorial debut and loads of deja vu. Cassidy also opens up about how the original Laurel’s tragic Season 4 death helped shape the woman she is today.
TVLINE | Ever since Black Siren started spending time in our Star City, the fans were clamoring for some sort of redemption arc. What was important to you about the two-season journey that followed for the character?
Just that her story, in terms of her character, be told and looked at in a way as though it were a separate identity, starting as her doppelgänger. Playing Black Siren, I wanted her to get a sense of depth. I wanted it to feel like she lived a different life, and that actually came down to the writers and myself doing the character backstory, trying to make her as complex and whole as possible. I wanted to have a chance to tell her story of where she came from — and I think we’re still exploring that. That’s what’s cool about this potential spinoff, Green Arrow and the Canaries; we still don’t know the story of how Black Siren, on Earth-Two as her redeemed self, learned what it’s like to be a hero. What has she gone through as we pick up with this pilot in 2040? There is still a lot of story to be told.
