Felicity brought out a lighter side of Oliver, but Olicity ultimately broke up because of his dark side. Even with the lies and murderous alter-ego, baby mama drama was the final straw for Felicity. She left Oliver even after he helped her through her paralysis and was willing to try and make things work.
In the time between seasons four and five, Felicity found a new lover. His role did not last long. Oliver mistakenly killed Billy Malone under the presumption he was Prometheus. Now with Felicity separating herself even further from the team after joining Helix, it’s starting to feel like there is no hope for a friendship let alone a romantic relationship. Considering the two rarely even speak, the state of Olicity is unknown. There’s more that we don’t know than we do about their lingering feelings for one another, but Stephen Amell tells Entertainment Weekly we’ll get a proper explanation in due time.
“Being in the fifth season of the show, we can let things burn slowly,” Stephen Amell says. “I know that a lot of people who have been watching the show have been getting impatient is one word, upset is another, hopeless is the strongest way to put it, but at the same time, it’s our fifth season, we can take our time with things. Oliver and Felicity, whatever happened between them in between our fourth and our fifth season, and the reason that they have been where they are right now throughout the course of the season, we get a chance to explain it.”
There are only a couple episodes left of Season 5 and Katie Cassidy is going to reprise her role as Black Siren in the last two episodes of the season. How she fits into the storyline has yet to be revealed, but maybe her return will cause Oliver and Felicity to take a closer look at the state of their relationship. Even though an Olicity reunion seems out of the question, it’d be nice to get back to the fun, lighthearted friendship that made the first two seasons so great.
Are you hopeful Olicity will get back together? Let us know in the comments.
