Grant's is training Laurel (Cassidy) and hopes to make a great fighter out of her. The actor spoke of the evolution of the relationship between the two.

"He's just making sure that he takes it slow and day be day, and make sure that she uses all this anger and pain that she has and put it into boxing. She has to make it about fighting and not about revenge 'cause that never ends very well. I feel like Ted can relate to her a lot," he said.

The actor also went on to reveal what fans can expect from his character in the next episode of the show, stating that Grant's background will be engaged and fans will see him go through some intense stuff, as he gets tested.

"He gets accused of something that he did not do, and it's a serious charge. Stuff just starts showing up in his gym, and he's trying to figure out what's going on and who's doing it," Ramirez said. "He's got a really nice little back-and-forth power struggle with Arrow that I think the fans are going to really enjoy. It's going to show them the possibility of where he can go, in the future. None of us know, but I'm hoping that everyone loves him enough to suit me up and let me get in there and play with the team."

Here's the official synopsis for the upcoming episode of the season:

"TED GRANT IS ACCUSED OF MURDER - After a body is found strung up in the Wildcat gym, Ted Grant (J.R. Ramirez) becomes the main suspect.
