The Flash: Amell Talks "Extra Thing" Pitched for Arrow Return, Olicity

Stephen Amell (Arrow) teases "this extra thing" that he pitched showrunner Eric Wallace on before agreeing to return for The Flash S09E09.

Next week brings the return of The CW's Grant Gustin, Candice Patton & Danielle Panabaker-starring The Flash – and with it, a whole lot of familiar faces in an episode that Arrowverse fans have been waiting for since it was first announced. S09E09 "It's My Party and I'll Die If I Want To" sees Stephen Amell's Oliver Queen/Green Arrow, David Ramsey's John Diggle/Spartan; Keiynan Lonsdale's Wally West/Kid Flash; and Sendhil Ramamurthy's Ramsey Rosso/ Bloodwork back on our screens – and with Panabaker directing. With only days to go, we have a follow-up on reporting from February 2023 that sees Amell offering insight into "this extra thing" that he pitched Showrunner Eric Wallace on before officially agreeing to return. At the time, Wallace wouldn't reveal what it was – but he did share his response to Amell's idea: "Let's do that! That's fantastic." Now, speaking with TVLine, Amell is offering a bit more on what he pitched Wallace. "I'm not particularly precious when it comes to dialogue, but I wanted to make sure that Oliver had something to offer, be it new information or the opening of a door, something that would intrigue people. And we got a couple of those things in there," Amell revealed. "I can't say enough about how collaborative Eric was." And for all of you #Olicity fans out there, Amell shared that there is "a nice allusion" to "how the family is doing" [today]"  The script is just really well done."
