Producers broke the news recently that fans will see the newly-engaged Diggle and Lyla walk down the aisle. “I don’t know about softer,” David Ramsey said when asked whether their impending nuptials will bring out a lighter side to Oliver’s trusted ally. “The stakes are high. Diggle has a soon-to-be wife and a daughter at home, so I don’t know if he’ll be softer, but you’ll see [him be] a lot more engaged.” Diggle\'s past also begins to resurface in the form of HIVE and Suicide Squad, with Ramsey teasing the return of Michael Rowe\'s Deadshot.

Will Caitlin and Cisco become Killer Frost and Vibe, respectively? If that’s their characters’ trajectories, the producers aren’t letting on. “We can’t lie and say we haven’t talked about it,”
