TV Guide: Arrow Bosses Tease Felicity-Oliver Romance

Going through playing catch-up with all the stuff that was mentioned at SDCC today! So I’ll post links to the articles but there’ll likely be a double-up of some info.

First date: Ever since it was revealed that Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) and Oliver will go on a date in the Season 3 premiere, fans have been salivating for scoop on what that will entail. “They go for Italian,” Guggenheim deadpanned. Executive producer Greg Berlanti promised that they’ll deal with the feelings directly this season, noting that he believes they do have true feelings for each other. Unfortunately, Roy Palmer (Brandon Routh) has his eye on Felicity. “You got to do the love triangle,” Guggenheim joked. Bonus scoop: The title of Felicity’s backstory episode is called “Oracle.”

Excuse me while I flail  moment about that last sentence…

Ever since the news broke that our favorite couple Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) would be going on a date there has been thoughts that the date wouldn’t be real.  Well we can all let out a sigh of relief because the date is REAL!

“It’s not a fake-out,” Kreisberg said. “Felicity and Oliver actually have a pretty raw discussion about what they mean to each other, which we’re really excited about, and [it] is actually an extension of what happened at the end of last year.”

This season will also be focusing on how Oliver can have a more personal life.

“What’s interesting about the beginning of season three is it’s been about six or seven months since the finale, and crime is down, Lance has disbanded the anti-vigilante task force, police aren’t hunting him anymore, and Dig actually says to him in the premiere episode ‘It’s never going to get better than it is right now,’” Kreisberg said. “So much of that first episode is really Oliver saying, ‘Am I Oliver Queen or am I the Arrow? And can Oliver Queen have a life?’ That extends to running Queen Consolidated, and it also extends to romance, and as much as that’s the story of the premiere episode, it’s really the story for this season.”

Fan meta: When Did Oliver & Felicity Fall In Love? While You Were Sleeping

I love this fandom. There are some really great meta posts out there and I’m going to start sharing them regularly. Because.

This one is another excellent post from Stiletto Royalty. It goes through the moments in the relationship between Oliver and Felicity, showing their growing trust, friendship, admiration and love. There are lots of images and it’s a long post but so SO worth a read.

Contrary to popular belief, they have a history of saving one another. This is what partners do. There is no weakness in this dynamic. She is the brains, and he is a man of action. There are no damsels or knights. Where one may fall short, the other carries the burden. Not only is he there to grab her first, on the way to safety, but she will always be there to save him when his strength is not enough.

When he grows weary and tired from all of the fighting, that is when her strength is there to push him through. It is unwavering. It is never fickle. It is always faithful.

This is the power of Oliver and Felicity. Their journey has unfolded right before our eyes. There is never a need for flashbacks or elaborate rewrites to tell a story of how Oliver and Felicity came to be two people in love. We don’t need a comic book lesson on who the green arrow loves and cherishes above all others. Arrow has shown us exactly who that woman is and given us a front row seat to it, live and in color, week after week. While others have come and gone in their lives, their bond is the one that has held the truth. As it was built on a solid foundation, it can withstand the test of time.

Oliver and Felicity’s story was shown right before our eyes, in vivid detail. After two years of being told that we were seeing things. Two years full of, “they’re like sister and brother”. “Comic canon dictates that…”

This is the look of a story that trumped your comic canon story and made it her bitch! This is what happens when a story is allowed the freedom to follow a natural progression without limiting itself to a preordained ending at a show’s inception.

The Hollywood Reporter: ‘Arrow’ Bosses Reveal Season 3 Secrets

AKA: Stick a fork in me – I’m done.

“Olicity” fans had something to celebrate when it was revealed Oliver and Felicity would be going on a date in the season-three premiere — or at least attempting to. “Oliver might be catching up to how some of the audience feels in that maybe there’s a life with her,” Kreisberg says with a laugh. It’s in line with the new arc the former Starling City billionaire Oliver faces this season. “This season, particularly the premiere episode, is Oliver questioning whether there’s a life beyond the hood,” he explains. “Can he be Oliver Queen and the Arrow at the same time? One of the things about being Oliver would be what kind of romantic life he could have?”

For once, Oliver won’t be a smooth operator when he and Felicity do go on that date. “Let’s just say, Oliver is the one who has trouble completing sentences,” Kreisberg hints. As he tells it, the timing was right to further evolve the Oliver and Felicity dynamic. “The way the show has shaken out and the experiences the two have had, it feels like it’s time to explore that,” he says.

There is other stuff mentioned in the article but… well, that stuff above was really the absolute pinnacle!

TV Guide’s Mega Buzz has some Arrow scoop on Felicity!

Let me fix that. The producers are planning a series of Felicity-centric flashbacks that they call “the secret origin of Felicity Smoak.” “We are absolutely going to get to know her,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim tells me. “We know that she went to MIT, we know that her mom was a cocktail waitress in Vegas and we’re going to meet that mom. And we also know that her dad is not in the picture.” Any theories on the identity of Dear Old Dad?

I hear the shows’ overall narrative arcs will be somewhat related this season, enough so that the crossover will make sense. “Something will happen at the end of Episode 7 of

team to Central City and they will discover it was a wider plot, which will drive them all back to Starling City,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg tells me.

Marc Guggenheim tweets about Olicity moment planned for episode 3.03?

@overdianna @AJKreisberg @ARROWwriters “One.” Callback to coffee coming in 303.

Comic Book Resources interviews Andrew Kreisberg

Oh this is a gem. I really really hope that’s Olicity he’s referring to!

Let’s start with “Arrow.” What do you want to say about where the season is going to start?

When Season Three starts, everything’s sort of coming up Oliver. He defeated Slade, the police have stopped hunting the vigilante, and crime is down. He’s feeling pretty good about himself, and so much of the season is about him wrestling with what sort of a life he can have beyond the hood. That’s writ large in the premiere, but it’s sort of the theme of the season.

Oliver’s love life has always been interesting. Where are his romantic relationships going this season?

I think they’re going to get deeper and richer this season. We’re not known for treading water on our show, so things will escalate, probably faster than people expect, as always. With whom is always the question. But we feel really good about what’s happening this year. When it’s the right time to do something, we do it, and we feel like, not just with Oliver, but with all the characters, we’re really starting them off in the right place.

Things will escalate? Uhhhh… I hope that means what it sounds like! *crosses fingers*

Zap2it: ‘Arrow’ Season 3 spoilers: Caity Lotz, a new villain and the Olicity date

Okay, I was trying to restrain myself from posting these first – save the best ’til last, y’know? – so the next few posts are the real Olicity-related articles/interviews that have been floating around.

One thing I have to say… I HEART THIS ‘SHIP.

In many ways the season begins in a completely opposite place from where Season 2 began. In Season 2, Oliver was sort of in self-imposed exile, he was mourning the loss of Tommy, things were awkward with Laurel. He wasn’t even in Starling City. Season 2 sort of started out with a “Blah, everything sucks” note.

Season 3 is the exact opposite. We come in and everything’s coming up Arrow! The team is clicking like you wouldn’t believe. Things are great. [...] And in the city, crime is down. The city is finally not falling apart.

Can everything be so good after the attacks of the Season 2 finale?

At the same time, we really do acknowledge the logical and natural consequences of our last two season finales. There have been two terrorist attacks in two years! So we’re dealing in a very grounded and realistic way the natural consequences of the last two years of our show. At the same time, the Arrow’s popularity couldn’t be higher and everything’s absolutely fantastic. But it’s “Arrow,” so of course it’s not going to stay that way.

I think that’s part of the fun for me as a writer, to go, “Oh, it’s all going to fall apart!” And I think you’ll see quickly how that happens.

What is going on with Oliver’s personal life, considering where you left things at the end of Season 2?

We honor that. Oliver, we even say, “Last year, you told Felicity you loved her.” We’re dealing with the repercussions of the season finale in a very honest way — leading up to Oliver asking her on an actual date. To which Felicity responds, “You mean a date? A date-date? Like an actual date?” As she must, because if I were Felicity, I would want some clarity. And this is an actual date, with actual dating going on. It’s an actual person and there’s no cameras and there’s no Slade Wilson and there’s no super-villain — and no one is trying to kill anyone.

His arc this year is: Season 1 it was the vigilante, Season 2 it was hero, in Season 3 it’s “Who is Oliver Queen?” Just like if you look at the second season premiere, it was a bit of a microcosm of his arc for the entire year. That was when he decided, “I’m going to be a hero, and I’m not going to kill.” And that sort of kicked off the whole season arc for Oliver. We took the same approach in the Season 3 premiere: It’s also a microcosm of Oliver’s over-arching season-long arc.

Felicity: “You mean a date? A date-date? Like an actual date?”

Torn between giggling stupidly or crying happy tears and hugging everyone.

Felicity: Nothing. It’s just – you went over there to get all “Grrr. Stop being bad or I’ll arrow you.” And now you want to rescue him?

Oliver: I don’t like the idea that somebody dangerous is out there… Somebody else. Because typically they don’t show my level of restraint.
