WILLA HOLLAND EXITS ARROW

Hey O&G Fans, Willa Holland (Speedy ) exits CW's Arrow. Holland has appeared on all six of Arrows seasons and was a fan favorite. Co-showrunner Marc Guggenheim told TVLine that Holland's exit was at the actor's choice.

"By the end of Season 4, Willa had expressed a desire to reduce her episodic commitment to the show and that was sort of done in sort of conjunction with an indication that it was likely that she wouldn’t want to renew her contract past Season 6," Guggenheim said. "So, we’ve kind of known for a while that this was in the offing. We revisited it with Willa at the beginning of Season 6, and she indicated that she hadn’t changed her mind, that she was still interested in moving on. Guggenheim went on to say that he and the Arrow production team worked with Holland on her exit from the show.

On Thursday's episode of Arrow, Thea left Star City in search of any remaining Lazarus Pits - with Roy (played by Colton Haaynes) accompanying her on her quest. This brings an end ( not a permanent end ) to Thea character for now, but leaves it open for her return (if she chooses to). It also creates an interesting side story that could be visited in the future.

Guggenheim went on to say that he and the Arrow production team worked with Holland on her exit from the show.

"We talked about some requests she had for us in terms of how her episodes would be utilized and grouped, and at what point in the season she would be written out, and we accommodated her on all those fronts because, look, at the end of the day we love Willa and we love working with her. She’s done right by us and so we wanted to do right by her."

The Culture: 2 Chainz - Proud

Sometimes, our favorite Hip-Hop artists do things that are so amazing and so good for the brand that I have to take time out of my day to tell someone about it.

My man 2 Chainz SNAPPED on this track and featured the most important woman in his life (which as we know, there are a couple of) his mom. 
 

I would be remiss not to remind you of other great artists that have done similar tributes to their mothers. Kanye West and Jay-Z come to mind immediately with Hey Mama and Smile respectively. 

Definitely, check this video out and let me know how you feel about it.

 

Lenni Reviews: "Fire" (The Ninth Circle #1) by C.A. Harland

*This book was sent to me in exchange for an honest review.

This book follows the adventures of Tala and Aiva Morgenstern as they search for their missing sister, Hartley, in a world filled with magic and demons.

The way this flows is just like episodes of a TV show; absolutely riffing off Buffy, Angel, or Supernatural. If you like those shows and want some fastpaced urban fantasy, this isn't half bad. I don't wanna give away too much since there's a lot going on. Sometimes the writing felt forced; trying too hard to be badass but overall, it's a fun read. A bit gory but hey, there's demon killing happening so that's to be expected. 3.4 out of 5.
