BWW Column: 'Ollicity' Fans: Do You Think Felicity Will Live?
By: Misha Davenport Oct. 07, 2015
Fret not ARROW fans of the coupling of Ollie and Felicity (Ollicity, if you will). Though the first episode of ARROW season 4 gave us a glimps of a Ollie at a gravesite six months into the future, there's a good reason why I don't think Felicity's name is on the tombstone.
Recall if you will last season on THE FLASH:
Yes, that's Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) locking lips with Barry Allen (aka THE FLASH, played by Grant Gustin).
Now ask yourself this: would Barry really miss the funeral of someone he shared many a nerd things with (not to mention the smoking hot kiss seen above)? Me thinks not. Felicity is simply too close to Barry and her death would impact him far more than Barry seemed to show in the final moments of the season premiere of ARROW.
So, who is buried in the grave?
1. Laurel Lance (aka Black Canary, played by Katie Cassidy)? Not likely. They've already killed off her sister Sara, the original Black Canary only to regret that decision. Sara will be resurrected later this season and then shipped off to the spin-off LEGENDS OF TOMORROW.
2. Thea Queen (aka Speedy/Red Arrow, played by Willa Holland)? Also unlikely. Though the first episode was filled with foreshadowing of how she was being reckless and out of control, it seems unlikely writers will kill off the last of Ollie's living relatives.
3. Diggle (played by David Ramsey). Though he's a core member of Team ARROW and a former soldier, there's no denying that fans are less than thrilled about his costume this season. But are duds enough to get you killed on ARROW? Put him down as a strong possibility.
4. Quentin Lance (played by Paul Blackthorne). It's already been revealed that Quentin is working with Damien Darhk (Neal McDonough). Darhk has already threatened him if he doesn't help Darhk rid the city of heroes. Also, he's sort of acting as mayor seeing as every other successor in line has been killed off (as well as four --count them- four previous mayors). Paint a BULLSEYE on Quentin. But, wait! There's one other obvious choice.
5. John CONSTANTINE (Matt Ryan). We already know Ollie feels responsible for the death. CONSTANTINE will be joining Team ARROW for at least one episode (to resurrect Sara Lance). Who better to stick around for the rest of the season to go up against the supernatural villain Damien Darhk than Constantine?
And, hey. His show's already been canceled. Might as well give his fans something to truly mourn over. I kid. It's probably Quentin.
