How have you felt about Felicity’s journey this season?
I felt like she became a very strong individual throughout, and I think she’s still learning about herself. She’s grown up a lot in the past season. I think she decided to make decisions herself and not for other people and also applauded herself for that. Because it’s the applause; it’s giving yourself the promotion that’s the best learning experience. So I think that’s what she did.
At the end of the season Team Arrow was back to Diggle, Felicity and Oliver – will it stay that way?
Roy’s in there too I think, and I think Roy’s in there for a good reason...
Will it be a quartet then, or is someone else coming in for season three?
I don’t know – I honestly don’t know that much about season three. This is what I can tell you – Felicity will have some backstory, because I was promised so hopefully those promises come through, and since we’re such a big ensemble show I think we’re going to get more of Thea’s story. Because season one was about Oliver being the vigilante and then season two was about him deciding to be The Arrow, so in season three we kind of have this beautiful orchestra of actors that need to expand and get their stories told.
Can you tease anything about that?
Well I’m hoping we’ll meet one of her parents or a family member. They teased it last season and we were going to but there wasn’t enough time – there’s not. I think we have a whole new season to explore so hopefully there’ll be time this year. It’s all about time really, because we only have 23 episodes [laughs], to explore all the characters.

Love Emily and Felicity! I can't wait for her backstory, she's really become the heart of the show for me. My body is ready for season 3!
ReplyDeleteI think this was done at Upfronts in May. It sounds very familiar, like they released bits and pieces before. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDelete"Well I’m hoping we’ll meet one of her parents or a family member"
ReplyDeleteBut we already know about her mother being cast, so I guess her mom will have some significance.
But how 'new' is this interview? They mention season 2 still as "this season" and Emily sure knows more about season 3 already :D
Its from the European press tour her & Colton did. Nothing was confirmed yet.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like an old interview taken during cw upfronts before all the spoilers were posted. Love Emily. She gives good interviews. Very well articulated and humble too.
ReplyDeletein other Arrow news: season 2 is held back from Netflix until october 8th. Would've been great if they told us beforehand though

WHY?????
ReplyDeleteApparently because WB is hoping to make some money with the home releases.
ReplyDeleteThey're heavily twitter promoting the DVD release https://twitter.com/WBHomeEnt/status/511197733563011073
Ugh... Been checking Netflix every other day for Arrow2! I was planning a recap binge...
ReplyDeletegot to buy it on BluRay then :/
ReplyDeleteI for one am going to wait until the price drops
I think its stupid. They could have had more new viewers gor the show if they had released in Netflix.
ReplyDeleteI would like to know how many copies of dvd/bluray of Arrow season 2 sells with this new way of twitter/tumblr promotion.
I wish I knew, they wouldn't do it if it didn't work though.
ReplyDeleteYou know that I'm the last one to agree with this campaign but I've given up pointing how dumb this shipper focus has become
They did the same thing for season 1. Not sure why anybody is surprised.

Hmm. But last year there was not much fan fare for them releasing on Netflix. No one expected it.This year I have seen several people waiting for the show to come on netflix so that they can binge watch and be updated by season 3 premiere.
ReplyDeleteI guess WB will be able to make more money this way.
Do shows get released on Netflix before the DVD comes out? Because for me it was suspicious they would release it on Netlix first and then 2 days later on DVD.
ReplyDeleteomg, i loved this interview. God i love her, she wants what we want. She wants a little more training, she wants to be in her apartment just relaxing, she wants to just be wearing sweats or walking outside. Yes! pleaseeee give us that. It's her turn now. We saw Oliver do it, we saw Diggle do it, it's Felicity's time to do that. Just sit on the couch and watch tv. And if you take a walk go buy some mace. lol.
