Wanderlust'

Since season two up until now, Laurel has had a truly amazing journey and they’ve written so well for me… I’ve had such an incredible arc so it made sense to me, creatively, that we’ve told Laurel’s story. It has come to an end in the Arrow-verse. I think the shock value is good. It’s such a jolt and such a turn in the story that it gives them so much more to do and places to go. Otherwise I feel like shows can get stale… That [last] scene [in the hospital] was so real shooting it because it was my saying goodbye to the team and all of us… It definitely wasn’t difficult for me to get to that emotional point. It was hard but it was very real. It was genuine. There was no other way that I would want it to go. But in the next episode, 19, I’m actually in the episode and it’s a lot of flashbacks.
