It is well documented now that Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) are returning to Starling City in "Arrow" season 4 premiere.
They will head back to the beloved city but the reason is still a secret.
Oliver and Felicity, known to their fans as Olicity, will be welcomed as official couple in "Arrow" season 4 premiere but how long will they stay that way?
Fans should not expect that much. Executive producer Wendy Mericle said the couple will meet several challenges in their relationship.
"We really wanted to explore the ups and downs of a traditional TV relationship, like we've established with Oliver and Felicity, and pretty much throw everything at it that we can and see if they'll make it through," Mericle according to a report by TV Guide.
Expect things to be difficult for Olicity starting from the "Arrow" season 4 premiere episode. However, Mericle said it won't be all hardships this season for them, specifically for Felicity.
The EP said Felicity will get her cheerful self back, especially in the presence of a fellow tech genius in the mold of last season's boyfriend Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh). The only difference is their relationship is platonic.
"He's going to fill the void that Ray left, not as a romantic interest for Felicity, but as someone who is an equal intellectually to her and that we can have fun scenes between her and Curtis Holt in Palmer Tech," Mericle said.
Stephen Amell shared a spoiler regarding the "Arrow" season 4 premiere last month about his character's relationship with Felicity Smoak.
"Well they've been away," Amell said in an interview with TV Line. "They are away and I believe they are still away when we get going again."
He also said it will be hard to tell what will happen to them as the show progresses.
"Well you never know, but I think if anyone has a decent chance it's Oliver and Felicity. Time will tell," he said.
"Arrow" season 4 premiere is October 7.
