She'll be "portraying the beginning of the Black Canary story," is what the showrunner said. My guess as to what that is:
Laurel's sister ends up still being alive and is basically the female version of Oliver. She went through a bunch of stuff for five years and managed to get back to the city. She dons a Black Canary persona, kicks ass for a while, is awesome, then she dies heroically and Laurel takes up the mantle.
I hope it doesn't happen that way because Caity Lotz seems much more suited for Black Canary and action stuff and Laurel is a terrible character (no offense to Katie Cassidy, who's doing what she can with the terrible and boring writing her character gets). -

This. Also, looks like she is going to be awesome in the role. Can't wait.

Maybe she'd do better with that change to her character. I agree she doesn't get much to work with, but that's the same with Thea. However they seemed to realized that and fixed the problem with her character by giving her Oliver's nightclub to run. So perhaps things will get better writing-wise with Laurel. -

Holy cats. You basically nailed it. Are you psychic?

Yup. Turns out this show is so clich, anyone could write it in their sleep (I'm pretty sure the writers do)

So far, I'm highly impressed with Caity Lotz as Sara/Black Canary. I haven't seen her in anything before but I love how she's playing these characters (I count them as two because she portrays two separate personas).

Wow! She is impressive! These days I assume they have stunt people do most of the fighting but this actress is the whole packagepretty with kick ass moves! I've liked all the roles I've seen her in so farkeep it up Caity!

Amazing is all I can say. Can't come up with anyone who can fight like her for real.

Did anyone catch the ep where she is on the pullup bar? I'm pretty sure it's not her doing those pullups or else they wouldn't have those edits
When Stephen Amell is doing the pullups, it's a wide shot showing that it's clearly him doing them.
Back to Caity Lotz - after she's done her workout, the show her with 6 pack abs. I'm guessing she doesn't really have those abs and they CG'd them in??? Was that really necessary??? -

I seriously doubt her muscle tone was CGI. Even in normal scenes you can see she is no waif. What's most likely is that she worked out a lot before that to look more pumped up. There are videos of her doing some impressive athletic feats, here is a more clear shot of her using the salmon ladder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USOkrUvCL-A
I'm really glad they are using someone with good physical abilities for this role as too many movies and TV shows have girls who look like stick figures fighting and beating large men. With her it's a lot more plausible. -

You can hear from 5:45 Stephen saying that Caity did the salmon ladder in that episode
There is a video on youtube of her practising

HAHAHAHA. Are you serious? I'd think the show has a million other things they'd rather spend their money on than fake abs.

It's gonna leave its mar1c84k somewhere.
