We can't count Merlyn out yet, just because his heart stopped beating. One thing we know is true is that no one stays dead in comics. No one has stayed dead since Superman died back in 1992. This may be the Television adaptation but you never know.

Personally I wouldn't mind if the Count didn't reappear. Vertigo is one of my favorite villains from Green Arrow and I think they dumed him down in the show.

From what I remember in the Comic-Con panel Brother Blood is making an appearance.
