Forever The Green Arrow: Happy Birthday, Stephen Amell!

He may have hung up the hood and retired the bow and arrow, but there's no denying that Stephen Amell will always be Oliver Queen and The Green Arrow - and May 8th is the actor's Birthday! After leaving on a high note and ending his tenure as the character with the eight and final season of "Arrow" as well as the crossover "Crisis of Infinite Earths", the Canadian actor is still keeping busy with other projects and family time - always a constant presence in Facebook and his wine business Nocking Point, his charities, and of course talking with friends and fellow guests in his podcasts!

If you miss Arrow like many do, here's a deleted scene from the newly released DVD/ Blu-Ray home media release of the final season - which shows an unaired scene between Oliver and The Monitor.

Once again - HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHEN AMELL!

Arrow Season 8 Poster sees the Emerald Archer ready for one last season

Shared directly from his Facebook page, Oliver Queen actor Stephen Amell signals that the curtain call for the Arrowverse’s premiere series is near, as the final season of Arrow has a new poster released, with the tagline “Heroes Fall. Legends Rise” accompanying it.

As the eight and last season for The CW show, Arrow has climbed up the ladder significantly in helping DC get a foothold in its TV based programs - creating a shared universe that began with “The Flash”, “Legends of Tomorrow”, adopting “Supergirl”, and then later this year adding Batwoman. Another show, “Black Lightning”, may get its chance to crossover with the coming event “Crisis on Infinite Earths”. That story arc begins this fall, and  Arrow’s final run of 10 episodes will factor in as this last season runs its course.

Arrow Season 8 premieres on The CW on October 15.

SDCC '19: Arrow Season 8/ The Final Season Comic-Con Trailer

In what is certainly an exciting time for DC on the CW as they prepare for the coming of their epic "Crisis On Infinite Earths" crossover along with the rest of the returning and brand new shows in the Arrowverse, it's bittersweet to see that its flagship program "Arrow" will be taking a bow with its eighth season this year. Indeed, as Oliver Queen (played by the talented Stephen Amell) made the heroic decision to save The Flash and Supergirl in the last DC on the CW event - it came with a price and The Monitor came back to collect at the end of Season 7 with The Green Arrow going off on a multiversal journey to help save the universe.

What happens and how that adventure plays out will be told in 10 episodes that make up this final season. Check out the Comic-Con Trailer from SDCC 2019 and see a montage of past events, as well as teases of what's to come and some new outfits for characters we all know and love (like Laurel Lance from Earth Two in her new Black Canary costume).
