The writers have written so well for me and I’ve had such an incredible arc. It made sense to me creatively. Laurel’s story has come to an end in the Arrowverse. I love everyone on set and our crew. Being there for four and a half years, they’ve become family, so it’s hard to not go into work every day and get to work with such amazing people. That part is certainly sad, but I was okay with it. We all came to an understanding that this was what was going to happen and it made sense to me. I think the shock value is good. It’s such a jolt and a turn in the story that it gives the writers so much more to do and places to go with it. Otherwise, I feel like shows can get stale.

It’s not like we have to go to DC and get permission. DC is our partner in all this and we keep them updated” “I don’t believe that superheroes shouldn’t die. They are living myths, but I like the fact that they’re mortal myths. I think it gives stakes to the stories”.

It’s change, but change rooted in keeping the status quo of what currently works for the company, while cutting the more experimental, diverse series that hadn’t been selling—while tossing in die-hard, fan-friendly bonuses like the return of the classic Superman.
