Starling City's getting a new name in season 4 of Arrow and the reveal was made quite authoritatively by Paul Blackthorne, who plays Quentin Lance, via Instagram.

New Character To Replace Felicity In Team Arrow In Season 4? 

The actor posted an image of him as Quentin, flipping out his cop badge which reads "Star City Metro Police." David Ramsey, who plays Diggle, is also seen by his side, in an offensive alert pose with his gun. But they both have friendly smiles on their faces.

ComicBook also followed up on this bit of news revealing that the change in name makes conforms with the name of Oliver Queen's (Stephen Amell) town in the original comic book. The pubilcation also notes that this falls in line with another change that has been made for accuracy -- i.e. the change of Oliver's costume to that of he Green Arrow, subscribing to the comic book.

New 'Arrow Bunker' For Season 4 Unveiled

Previously, Comic Book speculated that Oliver would follow in his mother's footsteps and running for mayor of Starling City in season 4 of Arrow.

This would be a huge plot twist if it were to take place; to imagine Oliver as mayor is a completely different trip. The report picked up hints from suggestions of a huge political campaign lined up for the next chapter. The publication went on to weigh the pros and cons of Oliver taking up the political position.

These rumors have most likely been spurred by a TVLine report in June which brought up the question of the next mayor for Starling City, but nowhere did it mention Oliver being considered for the position.  

The report revealed that the series was looking for a suitable candidate for Starling City's mayor. The publication revealed that the producers are seeking a fiftysomething actress to play the character, Patty.

Patty will be a "longtime friend of Moira's" and would have also been close with Oliver and Thea (Willa Holland) at some point in time.

The report flirts with the idea of Patty knowing of Moira's (Susanna Thompson) secret: "she years ago paid off Oliver's baby mama to leave town."

Season 4 of Arrow will premiere on Oct. 7.
