Ali Liebert Cast as Lindsay Carlisle on Legends of Tomorrow

According to Entertainment Weekly, Ali Liebert (Kyle XY and Fringe) has been cast as Lindsay Carlisle on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. The character will be introduced as a potential love interest for Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) in The CW midseason television series.

The character is described as followed:

A soft-spoken, intelligent lady who is the ideal picture of 1950s womanhood. Although she might seem at home amongst the strict morals of the time, she harbors a dark secret: she’s a lesbian. Confused and scared, it seems she is doomed to suffer alone in a backwards time … until she falls for a girl from the future, Sara Lance.

Show runner and executive producer Phil Klemmer talks about how the relationship between the two character will happen in the context of the the story:

“At the start of this episode, we find Sara Lance completely out of place, both in time and place, visiting 1958 ‘Pleasantville, America’ — and also out of place emotionally, after Sara was brought back from the dead on Arrow, she hasn’t been herself — she’s been consumed by a quest for bloodshed and incapable of having romantic feelings for anyone. The strict social norms of the fifties makes this the last place Sara Lance would ever expect to find love with a young, closeted nurse, but that’s how love works — it finds you.


When Sara first meets Lindsay Carlisle, she finds herself in the position of caring about someone for the first time in forever — an idea she’s not entirely sure she’s ready for,” Klemmer continues. “It’s easy for our cold hearted assassin to kill a hundred people, but does she have the ability to care about one?”
