Spoiler alert! If you did not see the season finale of Arrow then stop reading! If you did see it, you are probably still weeping after watching Oliver/Arrow (Stephen Amell) say goodbye to someone very special. All hell broke loose in Starling City when Malcolm Merlyn’s (John Barrowman) device explodes in the Glades, and falling debris kills…

Tommy (Colin Donnell)!

Tommy Dies On The Season Finale Of ‘Arrow’

After being trapped and left to die by Malcolm, Oliver escaped and killed him in a dramatic fight. He confronted his mother (Susanna Thompson) who admits that she and Malcolm planted bombs to destroy the Glades, and while one was dismantled, Malcolm admitted that there was another before he died.

After he saved Laurel (Katie Cassidy) and confessed his love for her, Tommy was hit by falling rubble and died in the arms of Oliver, who lied and told him he didn’t kill his father, before dramatically yelling “It shoulda been me!”

SO SAD!

This is just like Spiderman, when Peter tells Harry he didn’t the Green Goblin!

Stephen Amell Discusses The Death On ‘Arrow’ Season Finale

Stephen spoke to HollywoodLife.com on May 9 at the F**k Cancer event in Los Angeles, and he said that Tommy’s death will change Oliver “almost completely.”

“Not everyone survives the finale,” he previously told Entertainment Weekly. “If a father’s dying wish was the impetus for Oliver in season one, then the events that take place in the finale are the impetus for season two.”

What do YOU think HollywoodLifers? Were you devastated by Tommy’s death? Is Oliver changed forever?

When it comes to The CW’s Arrow, the only thing constant is change. (Also, gratuitous shirtless scenes. But mostly change.) And the events of the May 15 finale — ominously titled “Sacrifice” — will change Oliver “almost completely,” Stephen Amell told HollywoodLife.com on May 9 at the F**k Cancer event in Los Angeles.

We also talked to Stephen, 32, about last week’s big death — rest in pieces, Yao Fei — which he admitted was “kind of a big deal.”

“At the end of a first season, everybody thinks someone’s going to die, and it just so happens that it happened on our penultimate episode. … The last day on set is not morose. The last day on set is a party.”

It sounds like Yao Fei might be getting a new neighbor in TV heaven! Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Stephen promised more bloodshed on the finale.

“Not everyone survives the finale,” he tells the mag. “If a father’s dying wish was the impetus for Oliver in season one, then the events that take place in the finale are the impetus for season two.”

What could this mean?! Will Tommy (Colin Donnell) lose his father, too? Will Roy (Colton Haynes) lose Thea (Willa Holland), inspiring his evolution into Arrow’s sidekick, Speedy? No one is safe, and anything can happen, so drop a comment with your theories below!

It seems like Arrow has been introducing its viewers to a new tragedy every week, but is there anything more tragic than the Mr. And Mrs. Smith-style romance between Oliver (Stephen Amell) and McKenna (Janina Gavankar)? The badge-wielding beauty has no idea the man she’s dating is also the “vigilante” she’s hunting — and Janina tells HollywoodLife.com their relationship is, somehow, going to get even more complicated from here.

“Everything changes,” the True Blood star says of the Feb. 27 episode, which finds Oliver and McKenna at a definite crossroad. “Her priorities change. In this moment she wants the vigilante more [than she wants a relationship with Oliver],” but methinks that won’t always be the case.

As for getting to lock lips with Stephen on a weekly basis, Janina says she has no complaints: “He’s been absolutely a prince to work with. … We met at Comic-Con, and we bonded over having sexy time on HBO.” (Stephen cut his teeth on Hung, while Janina’s True Blood character is almost never fully clothed.)

Still, Janina says confrontations between McKenna and Oliver — in hooded form, at least — are “inevitable. She’s a badass, so if she can be the one to get the vigilante, it’d be incredible! She wants to get him, and she is very good at her job.”

But that doesn’t mean things won’t stay hot between them. In fact, Janina teases a particularly “sexy” moment on the March 20 episode — yeah, there’s a mini hiatus coming — that she and Stephen had to tone down for The CW!

“Episode 117 is sexy,” she promises. “But it’s funny, because we had this big conversation about what’s going to happen. I come from the school of thought where, if I’m going to be the girl who says you should be proud of your body and have no fear about the vessel you were born in, I really fully mean it. … But when you go from HBO to a network, you have to curb it. There are babies watching.”

And while Janina enjoys getting to kick some ass in Starling City, she actually appreciates the quieter moments even more.

“McKenna has moved up in the ranks pretty quickly in the precinct, which means she’s worked her ass off and has been single-minded and focused,” Janina explains. “That’s the only way you can move up the ranks, period. So she’s had no social life, and here’s Oliver Queen — the infamous Oliver Queen. It was nice being her at the times she allows herself to be girly and vulnerable, because she doesn’t allow herself to do it often.

Janina’s stint on Arrow also reunites her with former Gates co-star Colton Haynes, and even though McKenna doesn’t get to share any screen time with Roy, Janina tells me she and Colton made good use of their time together in Canada.

“Colton … is one of my closest friends,” she says. “He and I managed to get our hotel rooms side by side, So we were basically roommates for the whole time I was up there. I’m a terrible person in the morning, but we’d have our list of things we wanted to accomplish, even on our days off. He’d literally wake up, pass my door and yell, ‘I’m going to Starbucks!’ And I’d yell back, ‘OK, I’ll see you in a minute.’ We had a really nice time.”

Filming with Stephen and hanging out with Colton? I can imagine worse jobs.

Christmas has come early — or late, depending on how you read your calendar — for CW junkies, as the network has officially renewed The Vampire Diaries, Arrow and Supernatural for additional seasons!

The CW announced Feb. 11 that The Vampire Diaries will be returning for its fifth season, while Arrow is being renewed for a second, and Supernatural — the network’s longest-running scripted series — will be airing its ninth.

“We said last year that one of our goals was to establish building blocks to grow on, and now with our new hit Arrow and fan-favorite Supernatural on Wednesday night, and the continued success of The Vampire Diaries on Thursday, we’ve been able to do that,” says CW President Mark Pedowitz. Not only do Arrow, Supernatural, and The Vampire Diaries perform well on-air, they’re also extremely successful for us both digitally and socially. I’m thrilled to have all three shows returning to our schedule next season.”

Let’s Talk Ratings!

According to The CW, Arrow is its most-watched series, averaging 4.3 million viewers every week. And The Vampire Diaries the network’s most socially successful series, as it was recently named Trendrr’s No. 1 social TV program.

Supernatural is also a very good, enjoyable program.

What About All The Other Shows?!

No word yet on the fates of our other CW faves — 90210, The Carrie Diaries, Hart of Dixie, Beauty & The Beast and Nikita — but we’ll be keeping our ear out for the latest updates!

Well, that didn’t take long: Just two months after Colton Haynes announced he won’t be returning to MTV’s Teen Wolf for its third season, the actor has been cast on The CW’s Arrow! Per TV Guide Magazine, Colton will play Roy Harper, a love interest for Thea (Willa Holland).

And it sounds like Arrow fans can anticipate quite a bit of Colton in their future, as Roy is “destined to become a significant part of her life and an important player in the larger world of Arrow,” according to the official character description.

It’s still unclear exactly how Roy will be portrayed on Arrow, as he’s gone by several different alter egos — including Red Arrow, Speedy and Arsenal — since he was first introduced by DC Comics in 1941.

“We were big fans of Colton from Teen Wolf and we are thrilled he’s joining Arrow,” executive producer Greg Berlanti tells the mag.

And although creator Jeff Davis is hopeful that we will see Jackson again someday in Beacon Hills, he admitted back in October that major changes had to be implemented to season three following Colton’s departure.

“We’re going to have to move some things around,” he told MTV at New York Comic-Con. “We did have a very good idea for an arc for his character. Who knows, maybe in the future he’ll come back and we’ll get to play that out. For now, we’re going to move forward with a lot more twists and turns.”

How do you feel about Colton joining Arrow? Will you be tuning in to see him, even if you’re not already a fan of the show? And what are your thoughts on a Jackson-less Teen Wolf? Drop me a comment with your take!

As if our DVRs weren’t nervous enough about the onslaught of returning shows, the networks are also throwing a whole crop of new shows our way this fall — and some of them are really good. From the to the dueling divas of ABC’s Nashville to the clothing-optional heroes of NBC’s Chicago Fire, HollywoodLife.com has your guide to the shows you should discover in the coming weeks.

OK, here’s our list:

666 Park Avenue (Sept. 30 at 10 p.m. on ABC)
Why we’re excited: It’s spooky, it’s sexy, and it brings together some of our favorite previous ABC stars — Vanessa Williams (Ugly Betty), Terry O’Quinn (Lost), Dave Annable (Brothers & Sisters) and Rachael Taylor (Grey’s Anatomy). Consider us permanent residents of the Drake!

Arrow (Oct. 10 at 8 p.m. on The CW)
Why we’re excited: Our DVRs have been craving a new superhero show ever since Smallville ended in 2011 — and Arrow star Stephen Amell‘s shirtless promo shots give us six very good reasons to program our season pass. #AbJokes

Chicago Fire (Oct. 10 at 10 p.m. on NBC)
Why we’re excited: Nothing needs to be said about NBC’s new fire-fighting drama; it’s more about the visuals. Just imagine Taylor Kinney — yes, Uncle Mason from The Vampire Diaries — battling flames alongside his calendar-worthy colleagues. We’re getting hot just thinking about it!

Elementary (Sept. 27 at 10 p.m. on CBS)
Why we’re excited: We love Elementary‘s fresh take on Sherlock Holmes’ classic tale. Jonny Lee Miller as a hot, fresh-out-of-rehab Holmes? Lucy Liu as a disgraced surgeon — and not to mention female — Dr. Watson? There’s no mystery here: We’re already hooked!

The Mindy Project (Sept. 25 at 9:30 p.m. on FOX)
Why we’re excited: We’d never take medical advice from Mindy Kaling‘s new doctor character — she’s pretty much a malpractice suit waiting to happen — but we’ll definitely tune in every week to watch her fall (and fail) in love.

Nashville (Oct. 10 at 10 p.m. on ABC)
Why we’re excited: Besides the fact that we’d watch anything starring Connie Britton, Nashville is just really good, soapy fun. Even if you’re not a country music fan, it’s impossible not to enjoy the catty rivalry between Connie and Hayden Panettiere. It’s like Smash. But in the south. And so much better.

Partners (Sept. 24 at 8:30 p.m. on CBS)
Why we’re excited: Partners feels like an updated version of Will & Grace — it comes from the same creators, after all — but we’re even more happy that it stars one of our favorites, Sophia Bush! We loved seeing her lighter side on One Tree Hill, so we’ll definitely be tuning in.

Revolution (Sept. 17 at 10 p.m. on NBC)
Why we’re excited: No power? No problem! We can’t wait to get sucked into J.J. Abrams‘ epic action drama about a world plunged into sudden darkness. Plus, we’re getting a major Katniss vibe from crossbow-wielding Charlie (Tracy Spiridakos). Game on, NBC!
