in february 2012, it was announced that willa holland was joining "arrow" as oliver queen's "bratty younger sister thea". although thea is an original creation for the series, oliver's nickname for her and later hero persona ("speedy"), her middle name of dearden and the alias "mia" she used during her time at corto maltese, are easter egg connections to one of green arrow's sidekicks in the comics, mia dearden. thea was significantly absent during the fifth season, and showrunner marc guggenheim explained that holland was only contracted to appear in 14 of the 23 episodes for the season. he later revealed that holland signed a similar contract for the sixth season, but declined to reveal how many episodes of the season she was contracted to appear in. holland left the series in 2018 after her contract expired, her final appearance being "the thanatos guild". holland returned for a guest appearance on the 150th episode "emerald archer" in season seven.

serialized storytelling can also be seen in other dramas. heavily serialized dramas include "babylon 5", "the sopranos", "twin peaks", "24", "battlestar galactica", "breaking bad", "dexter", "the wire", and "downton abbey". series such as "buffy the vampire slayer", "veronica mars", "", "the good wife", and "the x-files" fall somewhere in-between, featuring a new case each week that is solved by the end of the episode, but also having an overarching mystery that receives focus in many episodes. the more serialized its storytelling, the less likely a show is to fare well in repeats. the format places a demand on episodes to be run in order, without which story arcs stretching over many episodes may be difficult for new viewers to delve into. "desperate housewives" also falls into the category while each season involves a new mystery that spans an entire season (and on one occasion, half the season) while planting hints throughout the episodes until the climax in the finale.
