'Arrow' Season 2 Spoilers: 'Moira To Resonate Through Season 3' In 'A Different Way Than Tommy Or Sara' Previously Did? [FINALE VIDEO]
As Arrow recently wrapped its second season, show creator Marc Guggenheim spoke about the finale and what fans can expect from season 3.

In a Time interview dated May 14, the CW show creator gave away some minor spoilers about the upcoming season.
Guggenheim suggested that Moira's death would continue to influence the course of events in season 3. But he also added that it would be nothing like the ghost of Tommy and Sara lurked about in other seasons.
"I fully expect Moira to resonate throughout Season 3," he said. "You know, she'll resonate in a different way than Tommy or Sara did. That's very much the point. But the idea is that these characters are gone, but they're never forgotten."
While talking about how things that played out in season 2 would shape season 3, Guggenheim revealed that they evaded cheap tacts like trying to keep fans hooked by leaving them guessing about Thea's secret. The creator suggested that they were committed to a certain degree of "credulity" on the show and didn't undermine the intelligence of their audience.
"And then in Season 2, we had given her the secret of knowing Thea's true parentage," he said. "And we didn't want to come into Season 3 and be like, "Oh, now she's got this secret!" It just starts to strain credulity a little bit, and we felt we owed Moira better than that."
It also seems like the writing team is headlong into conceptualising the next season and are also figuring out how things will pan out, considering the cross-over show Flash is about to premiere soon.
"We've been so sort of deep into the planning process of Season 3 in terms of the story that we're telling vis-a-vis Arrow that we haven't yet gotten to the question of, "Okay are we going to cross over with Flash? How are we going to do it?" et cetera, et cetera. I imagine that time will come because it would be a lot of fun, but we haven't done it yet."
The show's finale, Unthinkable, aired on May 14 on CW.
