Nyssa Al Ghul Returning To Arrow This Season
This season of Arrow has been really about going back to its roots and breaking down Oliver Queen to a very base level, and making him do things that he would never do before. First, this involved getting a new young team together. Then it was hanging up the hood and hiring the Bratva to kill his new nemesis Prometheus, and now, it appears that the season finale will bring back just about every major character (that’s still alive) to the fold. Including, Nyssa Al Ghul.
The news was broke by Entertainment Weekly, who revealed that Katrina Law will return to play Nyssa for an epic showdown with her recently arrived half-sister Talia. On a fanboy level, this is freaking awesome. Nyssa has been a delight every time she is on screen, and since the arrival of Talia, many have wondered how the sisters would interact on screen. We appear to have that answer now. Not well!
Before you remark about how this would be unlikely, do recall, that technically, Nyssa is married to Oliver, even calling him “husband” every time they’ve been together since the end of Season 03. Also, Oliver saved her life from Malcolm Merlyn, helped her become the head of the League of Assassins, and supported her when she dissolved it. Needless to say, this isn’t a hard choice for her. What makes this even more epic though is that Stephen Amell himself noted that Manu Bennett will return to be Slade Wilson, who ALSO will be allying with Ollie to take down Prometheus.
So yeah, this is going to be one epic season finale.
