However, as Wallace defined, the drastically decreased episode rely of The Flash’s closing run meant there merely wasn’t sufficient time to do it. He informed The Nerds of Color:
“There was initially — after I had hoped that we would [have] 20 episodes — however my authentic idea was to have a minimum of one [episode] — if not a two-parter — that wrapped up Legends of Tomorrow, and , there [would] be a bit crossover. We get them again, we get them out of time jail, all these good issues, Booster Gold, and so on, and so on. When we came upon we solely have 13 episodes, that was not doable. We barely have sufficient time to wrap up issues with Barry and Iris’ upcoming household not to mention who’s Danielle Panabaker enjoying now, so there wasn’t sufficient time. So sadly, we’re not going to have the ability to wrap up the Legends storyline which I do know may be very disappointing to the followers. It’s disappointing to me. But we simply do not have the bandwidth.”

“I called up Greg and said, ‘I have a crazy idea. What if Oliver Queen came back….,’ and I pitched the story. He was like, ‘I love it, let me call Stephen.’ So he called Stephen, then called me back: ‘Stephen loves it! Talk to him, pitch him the idea.’ So I got on the phone with Stephen — and this is all happening within a span of 18 hours, mind you — and I walked him through it. He said, ‘I love it. But can we do this extra thing…?'” Wallace continued to clarify how Amell wished to do a particular storyline. “‘Let’s do that! That’s fantastic.’ And the call ended with [Amell saying], ‘I’m in.
