Guggenheim told TVLine about this plot point: "We did start off with a list of every potential person who could come back, and lord knows we've killed a lot of people on this show. Some people, however, remain dead, like Earth-2 Laurel Robert Queen (Jamey Sheridan), who Moira explained could not be resurrected as his death was too crucial in the process of Oliver becoming the Green Arrow. The end of the series, meanwhile, is mostly set at Oliver's funeral, where even more former Arrow cast members are there, with the above crew joined by people like Emiko (Sea Shimooka), Anatoly (David Nykl), Talia (Lexa Doig), as well as the stars of other Arrowverse shows like Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist).

Arrow Season 6, Episode 10, entitled "Fadeout," answered a question that many fans of the CW show had been asking since the end of Crisis on Infinite Earths: How would Oliver Queen (played by Stephen Amell) appear in the final episode of his own show when he had died two episodes earlier? The series finale brought back the former Green Arrow via a flashback to events from around Season 1, as well as in a final scene that saw Oliver reunited with Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards).
