Rickards’ birthday wasn’t the only surprise that the cast of Arrow celebrated during their SDCC appearance.  Much to the delight of fans, they also dropped an explosive trailer for their upcoming 6th season as well as casting announcements that Michael Emerson (LOST, Person of Interest) would be joining the series in a reoccurring role throughout season 6 and that we will see the return of David Nykl, who plays Anatoly Knyazev, the friend/nemesis of Oliver Queen (Amell).

As we wait until season 6 comes around to find out the fate of Felicity Smoak, please join us now in wishing Emily Bett Rickards an amazing birthday!  Emily, we hope all your birthday wishes come true!
