‘Arrow’ Season 5: What We Know So Far

#8 – Felicity Will Have A New Boyfriend

We already know you probably don’t care. But like it or not, Felicity is still going to be a large part of the show going into Arrow‘s 5th season. It’s been said that although she will be a main focus of the show, she will officially no longer be one half of the “Olicity” equation. Oliver and Felicity will have a professional relationship, as she is the one reportedly responsible for convincing Oliver to train a new team of vigilantes, but that is where the show will draw the line. According to a recent report, Felicity will in fact have a new love interest in the 5th season, which she must juggle alongside side her guilt about the explosion in Havenrock from the show’s 4th season. I’m on the fence as to how this is going to help the show, or if it even will, but at least the producers are acknowledging that “Olicity” is truly a problem and are taking steps in the necessary direction to rectify it. Let’s hope season 5 is the start of a new “Olicity”-less era for Arrow.
