Stephen Amell, Colton Haynes tease ’emotional goodbyes’ in ‘Arrow’ season 3 episode
Fans of Arrow are used to the rollercoaster of emotions but stars Stephen Amell and Colton Haynes both commented on social media that may shock fans even more.
Amell, who plays Oliver Queen on Arrow released two statements, the first a Facebook post that read, “Putting the finishing touches on our 65th episode tonight. It features one of the most emotional, touching and heartfelt scenes we’ve ever produced. Everyone was equal to the task. Long day, but a good one.”
Amell then followed his Facebook post up with a Twitter post reading, “Sometimes real feelings creep into a scene, Goodbyes are tough. Even when they’re scripted.”
Haynes’ statement just a few hours after Amell hints at tragedy for Arsenal, or possibly one of the other main characters (Diggle or Thea).
“What a rough night. Probably the most difficult day I’ve had at work in my life. So many emotions all around that couldn’t be controlled” – @ColtonLHaynes

Could John Diggle (David Ramsey) be moving on? Thea (Willa Holland) going off to find out who she is? Could this be the rift between Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne) and Team Arrow? Is Felicity finally done with all of Oliver’s crap? Has someone died?”
