This week Arrow actor John Barrowman revealed something that wasn’t his husband’s birthday suit. (He did that twice, if you’ll recall.)
No, this revelation is a bit more sobering: he’s been written off of his hit show, and he’s none too thrilled about it.

“By now you know that Malcolm Merlyn is no more,” he begins in a pair of videos uploaded to Instagram.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“I know they’ve done it off-camera but I’m here to tell you I won’t be coming back next season. I want you to know how wonderful it has been for the last five years to be part of the Arrow universe and all the shows connected to it.”
He continues:
“Arrow and Malcolm Merlyn have changed my life over here in the states and opened many, many doors and granted me some wonderful opportunities. It’s also introduced me to … a new fanbase – friends, family that I think of all of you as. I think that’s probably the most important thing to me.
“I’m very sad to be leaving the Arrow-verse. I love playing Malcolm Merlyn. As sad as it may be, I understand how shows must change and also characters must change and develop.
“But that doesn’t mean that I’m not very sad and upset about it. I appreciate your support and love you all.”
Barrowman, who recently turned 50 and offered the world yet another revelation, au natural, says he’ll be focusing on updating his memoir for a US release.
