Felicity Smoak Isn't Felicity Smoak Anymore on 'Arrow's Season 7 Premiere

When Arrow returns tonight on The CW, you’re going to meet a very different Felicity Smoak – in fact, that’s probably not even her name anymore.

Emily Bett Rickards‘ character was forced into witness protection after Oliver (Stephen Amell) turned himself in at the end of last season – and she is struggling with everything.

“It’s sort of that concept of your life changes and the people around you are the ones that matter, and not having them in it can really detrimentally affect your lifestyle and who you are and who you’ve become,” Emily shared with EW. “It’s sort of that feeling that you can be surrounded by a million people but be so lonely if you don’t have the ones you love.”

“I think that’s where we find pretty much everyone at the beginning of the season,” she adds.

Emily continues, talking about how Felicity will still be mega pissed at her husband for turning himself in.

“That decision had her life completely remade and it wasn’t her choice. She’s upset, she’s hurt, she’s lonely, and she’s heartbroken. So, all of those intense emotions together don’t make for the best recipe.”

Arrow season 7 premieres TONIGHT, October 15th @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW.
