Oh, gee, I sure must have accepted that Sara was D-E-A-D for all those episodes dealing with Lance family having to accept that and move on. And that episode with Team Arrow having to learn how to protect the city without Oliver, whom was also thought dead and "not coming back".

It's like you haven't been watching this show at all. Heck, Sara had less clues to possibly being alive than Laurel.

Unless they show the "promise me Ollie" scene and it's not about faking her death, I don't trust that she's dead for good. Showrunners just have to lie about this stuff now to prevent outright spoilers. Look at the "Jon Snow is really dead for good, guys!" think that Game of Thrones had. Kit Harrington had to outright lie, telling that he's not in Season 6.

Heck, I don't really love Laurel that much, but I think Marc left some pretty big clues about her actually being alive:

1) Oliver faking Taiana's death in the flashback. 2) The "promise" scene getting outright cut to the next one in the middle of it, with Marc commenting that we'll see it in the future. 3) Doctor leaving Oliver alone in the morgue, where he hears her voice and turns around to where her body is lying.
