Arrow Season 3 Spoilers: Stephen Amell Says Lazarus Pit Will Not Revive Oliver Queen

The Season 3 midseason finale of Arrow ended with the apparent death of Oliver Queen at the hands of Ra's al Ghul after the leader of the League of Assassins stabbed him in the chest and kicked him off a cliff.

Fans have assumed since then that the Lazarus Pit, the mystical pool that keeps Ra's alive and relatively youthful, would revive the Arrow, but star Stephen Amell has now revealed that this is not the case.

"We just saw him fall," Amell told Collider when asked how the show, which has been relatively grounded to this point, would bring back its protagonist. "We've seen Oliver survive. So, [we don't know] whether he went straight off the cliff, whether something broke his fall, whether he hit the ground. We have mystical herbs on the show that have healing powers. We've seen a Lazarus Pit, although that's not something that's going to be used for Oliver. I hope he survives. I like playing him."

That last bit seems like Amell is being facetious, as the show probably couldn't exist without him or Oliver. But it's entirely possible the show could stick with Oliver's demise. We'll find out when the show returns tomorrow night.

Showrunner Marc Guggenheim told ComicBook.com that the Lazarus Pit could appear on the show, but that doesn't mean it will. "I think there's a way to do it," he said. "That's not necessarily to say that we will do it but yes, I think there's a way to do it that's in keeping with the show, but that's a far cry from me saying 'Yes, we're going to do it.'"
