Marc Guggenheim and Wendy Mericle explain the death (Date: 07 Apr 2016)
“we live in a universe where there’s resurrection, parallel earths, time travel, flashbacks — we have all these different ways of keeping Katie in the Arrow-verse family,” Guggenheim says. “Death does not mean goodbye on any of these shows”

Katie Cassidy’s quote on Goodbye (Date: 07 Apr 2017)
"Since Season 2 up until now, Laurel has had a truly amazing journey. The writers have written so well for me and I’ve had such an incredible arc. It made sense to me creatively. Laurel’s story has come to an end in the Arrowverse. I love everyone on set and our crew. Being there for four and a half years, they’ve become family, so it’s hard to not go into work every day and get to work with such amazing people. That part is certainly sad, but I was okay with it. We all came to an understanding that this was what was going to happen and it made sense to me. I think the shock value is good. It’s such a jolt and a turn in the story that it gives the writers so much more to do and places to go with it. Otherwise, I feel like shows can get stale.

ARROW CAST & CREW INTERVIEWS
Marc Guggenheim talks Paparazzi and leaks on ew.com (Date: 05 Apr 2016)

Marc Guggenheim talks character deaths on ew.com (Date: 04 Apr 2016)
“I mean, we killed off Hawkman (Falk Hentschel) in episode 2 of Legends. It’s not like we have to go to DC and get permission. DC is our partner in all this and we keep them updated”
“I don’t believe that superheroes shouldn’t die. They are living myths, but I like the fact that they’re mortal myths. I think it gives stakes to the stories”.

GREEN ARROW COMICS & TOY NEWS
Green Arrow Issue #51 (Date: 06 Apr 2016)
In war-torn Africa, Green Arrow and Deathstroke are both hunting for the same man-Doctor Miracle-whose blood cures any disease. They’re battling not only each other, but also a militant group known as The Whites. There is no deadlier foe than the world’s greatest assassin, and against his blade Green Arrow may have met his end.
Good article summing up “REBIRTH” (Date: 06 Apr 2016)
Think of Rebirth as DC You take two. It’s change, but change rooted in keeping the status quo of what currently works for the company, while cutting the more experimental, diverse series that hadn’t been selling—while tossing in die-hard, fan-friendly bonuses like the return of the classic Superman.
