What was the reintegration like for both Diggle and David Ramsey?

They kind of had this little comradery I wasnt a part of.

I was like, uh, no more OTA.

But they were great.

The adjustment happened very quickly.

Now were having fun.

He is a military guy, like I am.

He also has some post-traumatic stress as well.

There is kind of a similarity in their background.

We kind of take to each other in a real way.

We have some really nice scenes, he and I particularly.

We get back to it.

I like that theyre breathing new life into the show, and bringing in new characters.

They are all interesting, all awesome.

And there is more stuff to come with these characters.

But I dont think were done with the OTA.

Thats the bedrock of the show, and I dont think Im misspeaking when I say that.

And these characters serve that.

I miss that a little bit, so I hope we kind of get more of that.

But theres 23 episodes.

Thats a lot of writing.

Thats a lot of work.

Nine months were shooting this show.

So theres a big story to tell and now you have more characters to tell that story …

I think theyll get back to that in full.

Now that Diggle is back on Team Arrow, how does he feel about the increasingly-urgent search for Prometheus?

He needs to be taken out.

Diggles the straight guy.

They can depend on that.
