Olicity Forever! Stephen Amell’s Sweet Words About Missing Emily Bett Rickards on ‘Arrow’

As recently as July, Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim changed up the plan for the series’ very final scene. Now it’s just a matter of somehow pulling it off.
During an Aug. 4 sit-down with TVLine at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, Guggenheim revealed that a month prior, a new way to end the Arrowverse flagship series’ eight-year run dawned on him.
“I came out of meditation one morning and I had the whole last scene — and it’s a brand-new scene,” he said.
The eighth episode of Arrow‘s 10-episode farewell run, airing Jan. 14, 2020, will serve as Part 4 of this season’s “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover event. The episode that follows is “not related to the crossover” and “very specific; we know exactly what happens in it,” Guggenheim told reporters after the show’s farewell panel. Episode 10 then will deliver “a proper series finale.”
If the show sticks with the newly conceived way to close said finale, it will take some doing to make it happen.
“There are a lot of logistical hurdles that have to be crossed in order to shoot that scene. It’s not like we can just film it tomorrow,” Guggenheim teased for TVLine.
The EP said he was not necessarily looking to change up the very final scene — but neither was he averse to the prospect.
“The thing that I’ve sort of always told myself about the finale was that I wouldn’t be so rigid about my plan that I wouldn’t leave myself open to other ideas,” he said. “Had I not left myself open, I wouldn’t have written the scene I wrote, which I really, really like.”
UPDATE: Guggenheim has tweeted that if this new final scene can’t overcome the logistics, he will share the script pages for what might have been:
Could this scene be logistically difficult because it will imply gathering long gone cast members? Or... Is it maybe that the scene will be shot in a difficult to reach location?
Go figure! 🤔
And while Arrow EP Marc Guggenheim told TVLine that the writers were looking to make the arguments as even as possible, they didn’t factor in viewer loyalty to Oliver, Felicity, and Diggle...
“It’s a very unusual kind of [season] finale (...) There’s a couple of twists, there’s a couple of things that we’re doing that are not only very unexpected, but also unprecedented not just for Arrow, but for the other DC superhero shows as well.”

As much as Oliver and I fight, I still love him, he still loves me. So I’m trying to find a way to get him out of this damn thing!”

“Superheroes having a falling out and fighting amongst each other is one of the most longstanding comic book traditions. Again, this is maybe where we miscalculated, but I always assumed the fans would go along with us in this regard, because it is such a tried-and-true comic book [convention]... I think if I miscalculated anywhere, it’s probably on the order of not taking into full consideration the fact that while all the arguments may be equal and equally strong, there’s always going to be a love and affection for the original characters that the new characters don’t get a chance to enjoy. In crafting these arguments, we were being, I think, very evenhanded. At least we were trying to be. But we were not taking into account the familiarity factor.”

"I think it's going to unfold in a way that will really surprise people, I actually expect it to be controversial, because we're doing something that's so different than what we've done in years past. There's one particular hard right turn that we've got up our sleeves that we've never done before. So, I'll be curious to see what people think of it."

Time passes...
This kid is growing so fast ...every season, every episode....
William now is almost as tall or taller than Felicity (she’s wearing heels)...At this pace he is going to be a full grown man by the end of the season...lol
Oliver as a Dad is my favorite thing this season...I am sad Oliver lied to him on 6x07...Hope William does not discover him...Looking forward to see more of them interacting
