Despite a season full of struggle and negativity, Felicity was the only remaining member of Team Arrow that stood by Oliver's side at the end of season 4 of Arrow. Despite the pair not being together currently, the relationship between the two characters is still a hotly contested issue among fans, especially since the show killed off Black Canary.
When asked about where their relationship is at when season 5 begins, Stephen Amell reiterated that Oliver's commitment to Star City takes precedence over his commitment to Felicity. "Oliver's most important relationship in the entire show is his relationship with Star City, and his objective to make it better than what it was and fulfill what his father asked him to do," Amell told Comicbook.com. "So Oliver and Felicity are very much team members at this point. She thinks that there should be a new team at the moment, and Oliver would like the old team to return. He's convinced everyone will go do their thing, then come back. They're kind of at odds at that at the moment, but they're very much team members right now."
The show hasn't shown any sign that it's willing to diminish Felicity's presence at all, so be prepared for more relationship drama when Arrow returns for it's fifth season in the fall. Are you looking forward to it? Sound off below!
