Interview with Arrow's Andrew Kreisberg about Malcolm Merlyn's return to Arrow, complete with quotes Arrow: Andrew Kreisberg Talks Malcolm’s Return – With New Photos

Streets of FireJohn Barrowman returns to Arrow this Wednesday, May 7, as Thea meets Malcolm for the first time since finding out that he is actually her father.

“All hell is going to break loose in the city and Thea will find herself in a precarious predicament, and she will be saved by her father. And Malcolm is going to offer her what she doesn’t have anymore,” Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg teased in a recent Arrow press Q&A session.

The death of Moira and the secrets of Oliver will play right into the storyline. “That was part of our math with killing Moira — that if we were going to send Thea in that direction, she needed to have nothing pulling her back here,” Kreisberg admitted. “Now she has a brother who lied to her and has done something unforgivable, and no mother. And on the flip side, she has Malcolm Merlyn saying, ‘I will never lie to you, Thea.'”

You can find two NEW photos of John Barrowman in “Streets Of Fire” below. You can, of course, find more photos from “Streets Of Fire” in our full gallery. Don’t miss the episode – the next to last one for Season 2 – Wednesday on The CW!
