Arrow. The young boy, who is presumed to be Connor Hawke, was first referenced in late Season 2, but hasn't featured at all since. Fans of the character's hopes were dashed last month, when showrunner Marc Guggenheim responded to a fan asking whether that story would be revisited with a blunt "No." However, it seems star Stephen Amell, disagrees. A proud father himself, Amell cited his own personal connection to the story arc as the main reason why he would like to see it featured on the show. Many fans have wondered when Oliver Queen's son would appear on. The young boy, who is presumed to be, was first referenced in late Season 2, but hasn't featured at all since.

“Me personally being a dad, I would love to see how Oliver interacts with having a kid. Now obviously, it would be a different experience from that experience, but I think that that storyline deserves further attention. One of the big tenets of Greg Berlanti is you don’t introduce something to the audience and you don’t tease it if you are not going to follow through with it in some way, shape or form. So I think it’s a safe bet that Oliver will find out about his child at some point.”

A "safe bet", huh? Is that some inside knowledge on Amell's part? Or perhaps it's only wishful thinking? Even if it's the latter, there's a chance he could sway the writers towards his point of view if he feels so passionately about it - and he's likely to have plenty of fan support too. After all, what's the point of a Green Arrow show if you don't include one of Oliver Queen's most vital supporting characters? Now it's just a matter of where to fit him - in amongst all that essential Olicity drama...



Would you like to see Connor Hawke feature on Arrow? This version of the character is probably too young to suit up as Ollie's sidekick, but he could at least offer the show some new dramatic direction. As always, leave your thoughts below!
