IGN TV: We’ll be seeing you on The Flash this week. What is it like for these two characters to meet again at this point, given that time has passed and a lot of things have changed now for both of them?
Emily Bett Rickards: I think it's important to realize the big changes that are going on for Barry and who he's becoming. He's going through a big life change, and Felicity is a friend. Obviously there was romantic interest at some point, and there's always going to be that sort of spark, but with these big life changes happening, they're just looking for a friend, I think, and it's really important to value their friendship.
IGN: Of course, a few weeks after this will be the big crossover between the two shows. Does the fact that Felicity has already kind of been the ambassador from Arrow to go over and help once before ease some tensions or give her a different connection with the group than anyone else from Arrow does?
Rickards: That's exactly what it is. She's definitely there to ease tensions. She's there to bring them together and act as a translator sometimes, because I think that can be lost. She really values teamwork and working together, and she believes the more people the better. Obviously we're dealing with a whole bunch of secrets -- protection of identity and that sort of thing is important, but when you need people to help you out, she's that person to be like, "Okay, we need these people. We all need to work together." So that's her role.

I'm glad the Felicity Barry ship has detoured into just friends. Partially because I'm an Olicity shipper, and partially because there's enough love triangles going on right now.
ReplyDeleteI am excite for episode 5. I am glad to see Felicity's background explored.
ReplyDeleteDo you guys think Oliver will reveal his identity to Cisco, Caitlin and Harrison Wells during The Flash crossover episode or will he be always on costume?
This was a great interview. I love Emily so much and can't wait for tonight (it's 3:40am) episode, tomorrow's episode with Arrow and DEFINITELY next week's episode, I am so ready for her origin story.
ReplyDeleteAlso I'm Sooo thrilled she knows about the Felicity Doll!!! When I saw it a few weeks back I said, omg she has her own doll! She'll be so happy when she finds out. And I want one!! Lol seriously that doll was awesome, I wanted to tell Emily personally. Lol But yeah, happy she knows.
Thank you
ReplyDeleteI love that interview, EBR seems so connected with her character
And happy to know what she thinks about Felicity appearing into the new issue of GA comic book, I am definitely getting it next week,
I can't get enough of Felicity.
I eve get the impression the producers are giving Felicity a bigger role in this univers. Thus first the seperation from the core trinity for development.
ReplyDeleteMhhm I don't think it will make a reveal out of it. Oliver will be there and it happens that the Arrow will be there too.
Did you see the picture of new Felicity barbie doll *sigh*. Now I wish I had a daughter instead of a son. My hubby would laugh at me if I asked for a barbie doll now.
ReplyDeleteIt will be fun to see Oliver in the costume and voice modulator in the Star labs with all the nerds talking around him
I have not seen any pics but if I had to buy a Barbie - it'ld be Felicity ;-) started to read the comics of Green Arrow New 52 and was totally soked when I heared Felicity will be part of them.
