We’re only a couple weeks from the moment many “Olicity” fans are dreading—the debut of Dr. Barry Allen a.k.a. The Flash.
From what fans have heard about Barry/Felicity from the “Arrow” team, they have a right to be worried.
Recently, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg shared his excitement over the Felicty (Emily Bett Rickards) and Barry (Grant Gustin) dynamic.
“I think that as many people are shipping Olicity, halfway through episode 8, there are going to be just as many people shipping Bericity,” Kreisberg told Entertainment Weekly. “They’re amazing together…we always know Grant [Gustin] was destined to be Barry, but once we saw him and Emily [Bett Rickards] together, it was even more clear because they’re just so good together.”
Colton Haynes and Rickards have also previously commented on the two characters.
As for “Olicity”, Kreisberg said he believes the two are “taking baby steps” as they see whether or not there may be something there. “
“They’re as star-crossed, in a way, as Oliver and Laurel,” Kreidberg added to EW.com. “But star-crossed is a good thing for a superhero. It means we need a lot more episodes to get to that.”
According to the preview for the Dec. 4 episode (“Arrow” is off next week), Brother Blood has launched an attack with his supers soldiers and Oliver’s secret will be at stake. It’s Dr. Barry Allen to the rescue. You can watch the preview here.
“Arrow” airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on The CW.
