Arrow Season 4: Marc Guggenheim gives the low-down on Olicity

After finally giving in to temptation and leaving Starling City together at the end of Season 3, a bumpy ride could lie in wait for Olicity. Hear what EP Marc Guggenheim had to say on the supercouple here.

It was a seemingly interminable will-they/won't they saga, but when Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak eventually conceded their feelings for each other and drove off gleefully into the radiating Starling City sunset, a collective sigh of satisfaction could be heard worldwide from viewers of The CW's Arrow. With just a few weeks remaining until the show premieres for Season 4, we don't have long to brush up on our Arrow knowledge - hey, we wouldn't judge you if you decided to watch the whole of Season 3 again! Of course, with Ollie having just done away with Ra's al Ghul, leaving Malcolm in charge of the League of Assassins, and with Neal McDonough ready to be introduced as the evil Damien Darhk, the latest installment of the DC-based drama is set to be gargantuan - check out the official trailer right here. Alongside the vigilante crime-fighting, however (oh, and the small matter of Sara Lance's resurrection), we can expect to see the development (for better or worse) of Olicity's relationship. We at melty want to see how the couple deals with balancing the new-found pressures of saving Star City as well as making space for date night. Thankfully, TVInsider managed to get hold of EP Marc Guggenheim, who spilled the beans on all things Olicity.

Five months will have elapsed since we last saw Olicity, and when asked what they had been getting up to, Guggenheim responded: “They have been all over the world traveling. They’ve had a grand old time going to different places and have since settled down in another city and [are] living under very different circumstances.” In fact (prepare yourself for this), it appears that Ollie is even morphing into some sort of Netflix and pizza fiend like the rest of us at home: “Oliver even says in the premiere that he is enjoying making evening plans that don't involve him being shot at.” One of the biggest mysteries surrounding Olicity is whether they actually have the potential to stick it out through thick and thin. Guggenheim joked that the couple would last “longer than the first episode, which would beat our record!” Then, putting on his serious cap, he explained that the producers plan to “explore the nature of their relationship as a couple and we have no desire to break them up before [that]...one of the fun parts of the season is the will they stay together or break up.” In other words, the will-they/won't they saga really is interminable. It's just that during Season 4, it refers to them breaking up rather than hooking up! Do you see Olicity staying together throughout Season 4, and maybe even further?
