A Mother Dying Words
In the television series Arrow, Moira Queen is a character known for being a terrible mother. However, in a particular scene, she showed her maternal side when she told her daughter to look away as she took her last breath. This was unexpected, but it made sense given the dire circumstances of the moment.
What many viewers may not know is that the line was not originally in the script. Actress Susanna Thompson decided to add it in herself, knowing that it was something her character would say in that situation. This impromptu addition gave the scene an emotional depth that may not have been there otherwise, and it shows how even the actors themselves can bring new elements to their characters.
