Arrow Season 3 Spoilers: New Behind The Scenes Photos from Episode 14 'The Return'

The CW's Arrow is in the midst of Season 3 and is on winter break until the end of January. Fans are eagerly looking ahead to what the show has in store for the second portion of the season, and some new behind the scenes photos from Episode 14, "The Return," should only increase the anticipation.

Some fans had speculated that "The Return" signified the resurrection of Oliver Queen, who appears to have died at the hands of Ra's Al Ghul in the latest episode. The news that the next three episodes would be a trilogy of sorts for Laurel Lance and would also focus on Roy only bolstered this theory.

But it seems now that "The Return" will be heavy on flashbacks and will feature Oliver's return to Starling City in the past. Spoiler TV has posted some photos from the filming, and the pictures show Tommy, Laurel, Thea, Oliver, and Maseo.

In related news, the "Spoiler Room" column at EW.com has some information on the upcoming episodes.

"Is Oliver really dead on Arrow?! - Janet
You know I can't answer that. But I can tell you that it sounds like Roy will be stepping up in the wake of Oliver's absence. 'One of the things I was very straight with Colton [Haynes] about is I don't think we serviced his character quite as much as we would have liked in the first half of the season,' executive producer Marc Guggenheim says. 'I'll say the stuff that he's got in episodes 10, 11, and 12, it's pretty dang gangbusters. There's one scene in episode 11 between him and John Barrowman that I think is some of his finest work on the show.'"
