“Laurel Lance isn’t exactly a big money maker, being the most hated character no the show. Plus, a re-run would make even less money than a new episode.”



“They want advertisers to purchase spots. Laurel Lance isn’t a money maker.”



“Low ratings the first time around is bound to lead to even lower ratings for re-runs. The show can’t look bad and they need the money from advertisers so they have to make smart decisions and skip what doesn’t bring in ratings.”



I mean…I guess…whatever helps people sleep at night, tbqh.
