tv echo February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 ligapimenta asked:The authors and also the cast told that the character of Emily Bett Rickards, Felicity, was not in the script, she would be in one episode. What changes in the script and in the history of the show you had to do? She “stole” the place of a other character that would be part of team Arrow? I will be very happy if you answer my question. Arrow is a success here in Brazil! She didn’t steal the place of any other character. We didn’t have anyone else doing what Felicity came to do, serving the role she came to serve. We just liked Emily and the character of Felicity, so we kept writing scenes for both. http://marcguggenheim.tumblr.com/ Link to comment
wonderwall February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 IDK about you guys, as much as I hate Malcolm, I think his scenes with Felicity are golden. I love how Felicity just looks and feels stronger when she's around him. So I approve of this: 7 Link to comment

Malcolm is still a lying villain who lies,though. :) Arrow writers and their "noted" tweet.

Malcolm has never kidnapped her, right? I think that could happen. (As long as she) gets to save herself, or even Thea would work. Edited February 5, 2015 by Shanna Link to comment

statsgirl February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 From the spoiler thread: Asked if they would ever let KC's hair be that blonde and long as on A Nightmare on Elm Street, with the asker saying it's the perfect BC hair to the perfect BC, MG says: "Yeah, we’d certainly consider it. Depends on what Katie wants to do." Well that answers my question as to who is steering the boat. 2 Link to comment

Carrie Ann February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 Well, they're talking here about her actual hair, and she'd have to keep that style (cut and color at least) for 10 out of 12 months of the year. I actually think it's fine in this case to let her decide whether she'd want to do that or just keep wearing the wig. 7 Link to comment

I actually think it's fine in this case to let her decide whether she'd want to do that or just keep wearing the wig. I think she'd look generally terrible with that color hair on a full-time basis (she looks much better as a brunette IMO), but between the head-to-toe leather, the wig and the mask, I cannot imagine how hot that costume must be. I might bleach it just to get some sweet, sweet relief. Edited February 5, 2015 by apinknightmare Link to comment

dtissagirl February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 (edited) Thanks, Velocity23! I wonder if some things - like Oliver stepping forward and Felicity stepping back - were done by SA and EBR or directed by the director. Scene movement can be thought out by the actors, sure, but they can't move in scene without telling the director they will move. And the DP. And the cameraman. That's what "blocking" the scene means. All of the movement has to be rehearsed, not so much for the actors [although they have to know where to go], but for the camera. That's why the camera crew puts down marks for the actors to know where they start moving, stop moving, etc. The camera needs to be constantly adjusted for each of those points.

Password February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 Awesome. So is anything ever really ad lib? Link to comment
dtissagirl February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 Haha, not really. I mean, sure, actors ad-lib, but in rehearsals. If the camera is moving and/or the actors are moving, that had to be blocked. This is why actors have stand-ins, btw. The stand-ins are on set rehearshing the camera movements with the director and the camera crew, while the actors are in makeup/wardrobe, etc. Link to comment

poetgirl925 February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 HAHA. That tweet. I thought Olicity and the fans was bullshit? Did she really call the fandom bullshit? (I looked but I can't find that anywhere.) I guess I can see why she would think so, but I'm really surprised that she would put that out there in any official capacity considering how much free promotion fandom gives the show (and especially since I'm assuming she wants the fandom to warm up to Laurel.)

poetgirl925 February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 Haha, okay then. Sometimes I wonder if her PR people have ulcers lol. No offense to her personally, but she's been in this business long enough to know better than to answer questions the way she sometimes does. I had no idea who she was before Arrow but I know she's been a CW roster actress for a while now. So, maybe this is a PR thing, promoting Olicity - smarter to get the fandom on your side than it is to provoke them. Link to comment

Morrigan2575 February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 (edited) Last thing: How do you deal with the fans? The shipping community on this show has gotten so crazy that we now have Jimmy Kimmel having said "Olicity" on the air. Do you just kind of black all that out and work? [Laughs] Um...yes! Because I think the worst thing that you can do as an actor is to get caught up in the bulls--t. And I'm sorry for saying that word, but I ignore...you can't compare yourself to other people, you can't get caught up in all the drama. The best way that I've been able to deal with it is to just ignore all of it. I'm here to do a job and I'm passionate about it and I love it and I want to make the fans happy but I don't need to be hearing or reading or seeing negative things because that's not going to help me or my character in any way. http://comicbook.com/2015/01/28/arrows-katie-cassidy-on-legacy-heroes-training-at-5-a-m-and-olic/ Edited February 7, 2015 by Morrigan2575 Link to comment

catrox14 February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 I dunno. She seems really defensive. Like she could have answered it with something like "a lot of people watch the show for different reasons, the action, the different relationships, different characters. And I'm happy for that. I'm excited about laurels journey and I hope the audience will be too". It addresses the shipping question as part of why people watchnd doesn't demean anyone even if she didn't intend to and doesn't give those that don't like her anymore ammo". It puts the focus back on laurel and not shipping. 1 Link to comment
