Well everbody keeps talking about how they want Tommy back, but his actor isn't coming back unless is to film a new flashback or if Oliver sees his ghost again. However unlike Katie Cassidy who will keep appearing in flashbacks or as her E2 doppelganger, but Tommy needs to stay dead and not become Arrow "Jason Todd" or even Arrowverse "Winter Solider" whatever comparsion yinzs would like to think of when it comes to him. A death needs to stick since heroes need to have a tragedy in life they cannot change unlike the whole Flashpoint plot since that's a clear example of why not to rewrite a future and the path to become a hero because without it was all for nothing without that catalyst event!
