Arrow Season 3 Spoilers: Is Michael Rowe Returning as Deadshot?

Arrow is currently on its winter hiatus for Season 3, but the show will be back in late January with all-new episodes. But when Arrow does return, will Deadshot be a part of the proceedings?

Someone posed that exact question to the "Matt's Inside Line" column at TVLine. "Will Michael Rowe be returning as Arrow's Deadshot this season? -Joanne
When I spoke to Marc Guggenheim two weeks ago, there was no word yet on a possible encore for the Suicide Squad's sharpshooter."

That's a bit of a bummer, as Rowe and Deadshot were always fun and entertaining when on screen, particularly with Diggle. Recall that Deadshot killed Diggle's brother as part of a contract. Diggle initially sought revenge, but the two formed a bit of an odd buddy cop relationship in the first two seasons of Arrow.

In other Arrow news, the "Matt's Inside Line" column at TVLine has some information about Caity Lotz's return as Sara.

"Caity Lotz is back on Arrow in Episode 13, 'Canaries.' Any idea of what can we expect? -Catarina
Showrunner Marc Guggenheim sums it up as 'a really cool episode' in which Lotz appears as (of course) Sara and Peter Stormare (Prison Break) reprises his role as the villain Vertigo, which is a purposeful season-premiere callback. 'It's an episode where a lot of things that we've been doing and setting up during the season really sort of come together,' Guggenheim says of the intent to bring things 'full circle.' He adds, 'It's not a 'climactic' kind of episode, but there's a feeling of a big payoff by the end of it.'"
