Stephen Amell's Greatest Co-Star – The Unsung Hero Of Arrow

As the CW series Arrow heads towards the finale of their fifth season, they are also coming to the conclusion of the shows flashbacks. The continuing use of flashbacks made the show unique, running parallel stories five years. We got to see two different character arcs for the same character. We watched the Oliver Queen go from frat boy to vigilante in the flashbacks while we watched the vigilante / hood become the hero Green Arrow in the main story.

This is how we first met Oliver Queen:

And this was Oliver before he went to the island:

Which shows us Stephen Amell's most important co-star, his flashback wig. His constant companion for the last five years. But the wig would take on many shapes and sizes over the years, like it was a creature onto itself.

And when the wig felt it was not getting enough screen time, it tried to bond with Paul Blackthorne with horrible results.

But now, as the end grows near, the wig has decided to go out in style. From a photo shared by Amell on his facebook page…. will the be the final flashback wig? Has Oliver Queen decided to join an 80's Hair Band? Has he left the Mayor's office to pose for romance novel covers? Will all these wigs end up in a traveling display hitting a comic con near you? Only time will tell.
