Emily Bett Rickards Says She Doesn't Plan to Return 'Arrow's Final Season

Emily Bett Rickards feels like Felicity Smoak’s time on Arrow is done – for good.

The 27-year-old actress said, while she knows the news might disappoint fans of the long-running CW hit, she doesn’t have any plans to return to Arrow during the show’s final season.

“I feel like Felicity has done her time,” Emily told Collider in a new interview. “I don’t know if anybody is going to like what I’m saying, but I feel like Felicity has done her time. We knew this was coming for awhile – for over a year – so the whole thing is exactly what we wanted to happen. I trust the writers, and that’s in their hands.”

Arrow returns for its eighth and final season this fall.
