At the end of Arrow’s 4th season, disheartened fans witnessed Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak calling off their engagement and things weren’t looking good for the couple. But before the new season, Stephen Amell told ET Online that fans can hope for Olicity’s reunion in Season 5.
Emily Bett Rickards feels that even if Felicity and Oliver aren’t romantically involved, their relationship would be better this season. But Felicity has already started dating Star City’s new detective, Billy Malone.
Amid the reunion rumors, Amell and Rickards are focusing on their fitness regimes.
