Emily Bett Rickards Latest News, Photos, and Videos

That’s a wrap on The CW’s Arrow.

The show, which debuted in 2012, will end with season eight, Variety reports.

“This was a difficult decision to come to, but like every hard decision we’ve made for the past seven years, it was with the best interests of Arrow in mind,” series executive producers Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, and Beth Schwartz said in a statement. “We’re heartened by the fact that Arrow has birthed an entire universe of shows that will continue on for many years to come. We’re excited about crafting a conclusion that honors the show, its characters and its legacy and are grateful to all the writers, producers, actors, and — more importantly — the incredible crew that has sustained us and the show for over seven years.”

Star Stephen Amell tweeted, “Playing Oliver Queen has been the greatest professional experience of my life… but you can’t be a vigilante forever…There’s so much to say… for now I just want to say thank you.”

Other “Arrowverse” shows include The Flash, Supergirl, and Legends of Tomorrow. The CW also has a Batwoman pilot in the works, starring Ruby Rose.

Arrow also stars David Ramsey, Emily Bett Rickards, Echo Kellum, Katie Cassidy, Rick Gonzalez, Juliana Harkavy, Colton Haynes, Kirk Acevedo, and Sea Shimooka.

Emily Bett Rickards wears a cute striped ensemble while arriving for the 2019 Directors Guild Of America Awards held at The Ray Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland Center on Saturday night (February 2) in Hollywood.

The 27-year-old Arrow star stepped out for the event in support of Aisha Tyler, who hosted the annual ceremony.

“She sparkled her way through hosting the DGA’s with love, humility and balls to the wall humour,” Emily wrote on her Instagram. “It’s difficult to express the awe and light felt when you’re able to watch someone you love and admire succeed, it is nothing short of incredible.”

Emily added, “I’m uplifted, renewed and inspired by all the stories shared last night. Most importantly I’m so so in love 😍.”

Emily Bett Rickards knows, like the fans, that there’s some kind of magic to Oliver and Felicity’s relationship on Arrow.

Speaking with TV Guide, the actress opened up about why thinks fans love the couple so much – and it’s all about how real their relationship actually is.

“I hope that it’s because it’s honest and working towards a place of what we all sort of want and where we can see ourselves bettering ourselves,” Emily shared. “I don’t know what the magic equation is to writing something that hits somebody at a certain time.”

“We’re so grateful. I mean, I really like them as a couple, I’m pro-them as a couple.”

She continues, “I think the way that they communicate and talk to each other is about them growing. That’s not always interesting to watch on TV… it’s not always great to watch happy things on TV all the time, even comedy has very dark themes, but there is such a purpose towards them working as a couple and working through it. I hope that’s what grounds people to their relationship.”

Emily Bett Rickards is opening up about a future reunion between everyone’s fave couple, Olicity, on Arrow – and it doesn’t sound all that great.

Speaking with TVGuide, the actress dished about Felicity’s new gig with the FBI in tonight’s new episode.

“I feel like it has pitfalls and darkness because it’s not her natural state, right? It doesn’t seem like somewhere she naturally came to,” Emily says. “It seems like a place that she was forced to be in, in which case we’re not always our authentic selves in that area.”

She adds about the future reunion between Felicity and Oliver: “I think there’s definitely going to be a fracture. There already was, Felicity’s already said, ‘You’ve decided — Oliver’s decided to do this alone. It didn’t include me.’ There’s already a fracture, so where do we move from that?”

Emily continues, “I don’t know if there’s things that are fun, so everyone loves watching that. But there are Olicity moments, it’s just going to be different now. Life changes.”

Arrow airs TONIGHT, October 29th @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW.

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.

Arrow kicks off its’ seventh season on Monday night (October 15), and unlike in the past, there won’t be as much Olicity scenes as you’d hope for – but showrunner Beth Schwartz is giving fans some intel on the couple’s fate going forward.

“They are not adapting well,” she shared with reporters. “They’re both pretty miserable. Felicity is away from her husband, William’s away from his father, and their family and their city and their real lives, so it’s not going well.”

Well, that’s not great. We hate sad Olicity.

But don’t fret, Beth says, because while Olicity are apart at the moment, they’re still bonded by their story.

“In terms of storytelling, it would be great if both of them are fighting for the same thing,” she adds, “so even if we don’t physically see them together, their stories are pretty much — their goals are the same.”

All in all, Oliver and Felicity will “connect without physically connecting, which I think is really cool because they’re both fighting for their families, so you don’t need to see them together to get that connection.”

Stay tuned for more Olicity and Arrow on JJJ!

Felicity has changed up her hair, once blonde and now pink, for the season 7 premiere episode of Arrow.

The first look photos show Felicity with her new hair color, and with some piercings, as she and Diggle go to visit Oliver at Slabside supermax prison.

Showrunner Beth Schwartz recently opened up to TVLine about the couple’s relationship and how the dynamic is going to change, especially for Felicity.

“What I found most interesting about what they’re going through this season is that having your husband in prison is really challenging on its own,” she says. “But the fact that your husband is the Green Arrow, and everyone knows your husband is the Green Arrow, is a second challenge that couple will have.”

Arrow returns on Monday, October 15th @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW.
