News about the future of Laurel Lance and Black Canary on Arrow

Katie Cassidy’s Laurel Lance doesn’t appear much in the upcoming Flash/Arrow crossover – although she does have a brief moment in the Arrow chapter, “The Brave and the Bold.” However, there is a plan for her character, as Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg related to The Hollywood Reporter last night. In their report, the title of the thirteenth episode of Season 3 is also revealed.

“She’s not as present in these episodes, but that is because we’ve been building up to her appearance as the Black Canary,” Kreisberg said. “We sort of said that Sara was the Canary, but Laurel is the Black Canary. Episodes 10, 11 and 12 are a three-part trilogy that are about her. And episode 13 I think I can spoil, is called ‘Canaries.’ For fans of Laurel and for fans of Katie [Cassidy], they’re going to get more than their fill after the winter break.”
