Hers, Barrowman's and Wentworth's deals are to be 'series regulars' for the whole universe instead of just individual shows. Not sure how they will be credited. Maybe they appear in the series regular section on just episodes they appear in (similar to Wally not being in the opening credits for the first few Flash episodes of season 2 or Carter not appearing in the opening credits between his death and the introduction of his reincarnation. Or, maybe they will be credited in series regular section for all episodes of all shows or maybe have their own section on all shows.

As for story-wise, Flash and Arrow could both be through Flashpoint since they said there would be some Flashpoint repercussions on Arrow.
