TVovermind spoke to the actor at the Comic-Con roundtable and got some pretty interesting details about the future of Roy on the show. When the subject of Mirakuru came up, Haynes stated that Roy was absolutely clueless about the fact that he killed two cops, and the facts will be revealed to him in the next chapter, and he would have to face the consequences, albeit he had no idea what they might be.
"No one has told Roy yet because in that last scene with Felicity, I was basically out cold and she was like 'yeah, you were out cold,'" he said. "So no one has told Roy yet that he is basically a cop-killer, that he killed two cops. Eventually that's going to come out and how that affects Roy, we don't know yet, I haven't read that far. Roy is going to have to deal with the repercussions of that and who knows what it is going to be, I actually don't know."
