I've been a consistent as possible when it comes to hating everything about Laurel/Black Canary. Can't believe they are bringing her back given her absence is one of the top reasons this season has been better than the previous one.

I don't hate Laurel but I doubt she is back. Looks like reporter girl drugged Oliver with the vodka. Would not be surprised if she is linked to the Russia flashbacks and maybe Prometheus. Laurel's a figment of his imagination and Oliver is imprisioned somewhere. Well maybe not the imprisioned part because then just did that with the aliens.

Arrow has been improved due to a few, key elements this season.
1) Took Thea out of the costumed hero game and put her in a side role where we don't have to worry much about her arc.
2) Improved flashbacks, probably the best since season two.
3) More consistent and imposing villains.
4) The introduction of Vigilante reminds us of the difference between Green Arrow and a cold-blooded anti-hero.
5) Felicity mostly returned to her status as perky comic relief. They seemed to drop the funny from her character when she was with Oliver.

Maybe Christopher Chance is crossdressing as Laurel Lance.

Happy Laurel is back. Don't care about the character. I just like to watch her walk around.

Spoilers for the Laurel Lance mystery in the latest Arrow trailer. I'm really surprised they revealed it in a trailer.

Right there with you. My hate had been consistent from the start. Not looking forward to her return. She's the worst.

In WWE (wrestling) when a wrestler has to take a long absence (usually for an injury), doesn't matter how popular they were when they left, doesn't matter that audiences were getting bored and sick of them at the time, when they return they get popped like crazy.
This is what is happening here. Laurel hasn't been around for a while, and whilst she was terrible, her returning freshens things up for a little bit.

Yeah that trailer is very spoilery. Don't watch it if you don't want to know.
But, from what I've heard:
