During Dragon Con, I got to interview Katie Cassidy, one of the stars of the CW hit “Arrow.” Katie plays Laurel Lance, an attorney and former girlfriend of Oliver Queen. She is now part of Team Arrow as the Black Canary. “Arrow” premieres tonight at 8 pm on Atlanta’s CW.

How’s Dragon Con going for you?
Katie Cassidy: Well, it just started maybe 30 seconds ago (it’s 10 am). We flew in late last night, and I had training this morning.

How’s training going?
Katie: It’s good, it’s really good. I brought my trainer with me because I am the type of person that if he’s not here, I’ll just go “Oh, I am just too tired this morning.” But it’s really good and hard, but I love it. It’s awesome.

Have you had to ramp up the training because your character is now part of Team Arrow?
Katie: Oh, yeah, absolutely. During the second season, Mark Guggenheim and I had a discussion about the physicality of the role and the difference between Laurel in season two from the start of the season till the end. You saw her go from being an alcoholic and a drug habit, being a disaster all day, every day, which is challenging as an actor. It was really nice to have that story arc where I came out the other side and go from rock bottom to sober. Then at the start of season three we talked about how much more physical Laurel would be. So I upped by training,, especially during the hiatus. When I first started working out it was working out five days a week, three hours a day. It was just with weights or cardio; it was a mixture of things; an hour of weights, an hour of kickboxing, then an hour of yoga. I wanted to make her character as legitimate as I could make her.

JERI RYAN GUEST STARS; INTRODUCING ECHO KELLUM — When an old family friend, Jessica Danforth (guest star Jeri Ryan), tells Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Thea (Willa Holland) that she is going to run for mayor, both Queens are concerned considering the last three mayors have been murdered. Despite their protests, Jessica makes her announcement so the Green Arrow and Speedy vow to protect her. Meanwhile, Thea begins to exhibit effects from the Lazarus Pit. In addition, Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) is faced with a tough business decision and looks to one of her employees, Curtis Holt (guest star Echo Kellum), for help.

Arrow may be bringing Sara back to life, but, surprisingly, it’s Laurel who will benefit the most.

For starters, the resurrection of Sara gives Laurel a second chance at having a better relationship with her sister. “Her journey this year is tied a lot to her sister,” executive producer Wendy Mericle tells TVGuide.com, noting Laurel is a “key player” in the decision to resurrect Sara.

However, with Sara eventually moving on to the spin-off Legends of Tomorrow, Laurel will get a bit more of the Arrow spotlight. “We’re excited because the series started with the whole triangle of Oliver and Sara and Laurel,” Mericle says. “And with Sara coming back and then moving on to go on her own journey, we have the potential to change the dynamic there in a really positive way for Laurel. [We] kind of put the past to rest.”

IGN: You mentioned Sara. She’s coming back into the mix before going off to Legends of Tomorrow. Can you talk about how that’s going to affect the Lance family at this point? That is a messed up family!
Mericle: It’s a super messed up family! [Laughs] I mean, I think it’s really going to be about having her come back and exploring what it means to both Laurel and Captain Lance and what’s cool about it is we’re playing around with the emotional places that both those two characters are in, with respect to Sara. We’re going to end in some surprising places and we’re excited about that. I can’t give away too much because it’s a cool twist that Laurel and Lance will… When Sara does come back and moves on to Legends, it will have some big emotional impact.

IGN: What is the overall dynamic of the team this season? When Oliver left, he and Diggle were having some issues and Thea had just put on the costume for the first time. So how is that team working?
Mericle: I’m excited about that piece of it. Dig has obviously been in charge when Oliver was gone but I think it’s a more democratic way of working. Yes, Dig is in charge but Black Canary is a full-fledged bad ass and Speedy is as well. We’re going to come in and there’s two bad ass — Speedy and Black Canary kicking ass with Dig and they’re fully capable of working without Oliver and he’s going to have to deal with that reality. We explored that a little bit in [episode] 312, when he had to come in after “The Climb” and was wounded. It’ll be a much bigger piece of the beginning of the season.

If it were up to us, women everywhere would be rocking blazers – or better, a full pant suit – every damn day of the week. We’ve got a penchant for menswear, so when it comes to jackets, we come from a place of always.

Do you hear us? We adore the pure structure of it all, like the crispness of a white button-down paired, if you can imagine it, with a pair of over-the-top pumps. Pure contrasting perfection.

Sure, going head-to-toe work-wear isn’t always the best of options – after all, you might want to look more room and board than boardroom, on occasion. But that just means you need to take some time (and by time we mean mere seconds) to take apart that weekly uniform and multi-purpose that shit.

Rest assured, even a hint of structure, like a blazer for instance, can make any look a little more put-together and downtown cool. Which was our entire point with this one. A little pinstripe here and a touch of leather on your knees there and, presto change-o, your work-wear just took a right turn at girls night out.

But come Monday morning, girl you know we’ve got a pair of matching trousers. You see where we’re headed here?

Our usual New York Fashion Week experience is one filled with traffic jams, missed shows and a whole lot of stress. But since the moving of the venues, we found this season to be a lot less panicky phone calls and a lot more sushi. (Dear Koi, thanks for keeping our table warm.)

Call it a well planned itinerary or just a blessing from the fashion Gods, but we (almost) made it to everything we intended to and managed to enjoy ourselves the entire time we were in New York City.

Maybe it was the fashion – dying for one Veronica Beard chambray short-suit in particular. Or maybe it was because this season we were joined by friends – Tommy and Alyssa automatically make everything better. Or maybe it was just because it wasn’t 100 degrees Fahrenheit. (We’ll take intermittent showers over blazing heat any day of the week.)

Whatever the case, this Fashion Week was one for the books.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

“Green Arrow” (Ep# 401)

MY NAME IS THE GREEN ARROW — Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Felicity’s (Emily Bett Rickards) blissful getaway is cut short when Thea (Willa Holland) and Laurel (Katie Cassidy) pay them a visit and tell Oliver they need his help back in Star City. The city has been attacked by “Ghosts,” assassins led by a dangerous man named Damien Darhk (guest star Neal McDonough). However, when Oliver returns, Diggle (David Ramsey) makes it very clear that he doesn’t want Oliver on the team. Thor Freudenthal directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Beth Schwartz and teleplay by Marc Guggenheim & Wendy Mericle (#401).
