I know it all goes to shit in the future (cuz William ends up on Lian Yu) but I would like a few years of them having a kid together and William having a little sis before it goes south. We don't know that things necessarily go to shit. I hope they've had a generally happy life, but one interrupted by the constant drama (and trauma) that comes with the vigilante life and living in Star City, in general. Also, I was thinking back on Beth's comments about seeing Smoak Tech this season. I'm almost certain we're going to see it in the flashforwards as a huge company, but I really hope we see Felicity getting it off the ground in the present day. Now that Curtis is working at Argus, I hope Helix Dynamics and the Curtis/Felicity partnership are buried in S6 where they belong. 13 Link to comment
bijoux October 18, 2018 Share October 18, 2018 I think given the fact that William has $300.000 at his disposal definitely means Smoak Tech is booming in the future timeline. And if we apply the resoning where Felicity getting pregnant this season connects to her future daughter, it stands to reason we'll also see her successful future business getting off the ground in the present. 4 Link to comment
Morrigan2575 October 18, 2018 Share October 18, 2018 (edited) I could totally be wrong but, my guess is that we'll get Smoak Tech in the Flash Forward but, not really in the present. They may not have any interest in it and, there's plenty of time to play around with it. Basically Flash Forward has successful Smoak Tech (fans happy). Present day they ignore it and only gets brought back up in final season. Same with Maya (if she's an Olicity baby). She's supposed to play 18-20s and they cast a 22 year old actress. Maya may not be born until S10 (if they get there). Granted, I think they'll more likely play around with Olicity getting pregnant in 707, since that is Maya's first episode. Have the Maya reveal as the final tag (like Will/Roy in 701) right after Olicity reunion sex dun, dun, dun! Edited October 18, 2018 by Morrigan2575 6 Link to comment
Guest October 18, 2018 Share October 18, 2018 (edited) I'll be a little bummed if we don't see Felicity start Smoak Tech in 7b but it wouldn't surprise me if we do only see it in the future. As long as it is really happening. To me it makes sense for Felicity to get pregnant this season and give birth in S8 but again, Maya's age is up in the air right now and KM could easily play an 18 year old, which means they could stretch it out. I guess it depends. (Haha, look at me talking as if it's already confirmed Maya really is their daughter.) Edited October 18, 2018 by Guest Link to comment

And they might temper the Olicity getting pregnant for like next season I could picture since it looks like they are going to focus more on William for the flash forwards and then both of them would be series regulars in s8 anyway. 17 minutes ago, Morrigan2575 said: Have the Maya reveal as the final tag (like Will/Roy in 701) right after Olicity reunion sex dun, dun, dun!

tennisgurl October 19, 2018 Share October 19, 2018 Maybe Maya was separated from her parents, and thats why she grew up to be a scrappy street kid? Maybe someone stole her, and told Olicity that she was dead? Or they die or disappear in the future? All that sounds super depressing, but why else would a grown up Olicitot be living on the streets?

TwistedandBored October 19, 2018 Share October 19, 2018 I was fine with Olicity not having a baby this season but then they casted Kat and y'all started with her being baby Olicity. Honestly, I am so gonna be disappointed if Kat turns out of to be anyone but Olicity's child. 1 Link to comment
BkWurm1 October 19, 2018 Share October 19, 2018 (edited) Scrappy to me is more a personality trait than anything that speaks to someone's environment but it has been used to describe a lot of ragtag heroes. But I still think of scrappy like in the context of being a scrappy fighter as in don't give up and have a lot of heart even if they are outmatched in some way. So I don't see it as a negative or saying anything bad about her life. I would think any daughter of Oliver and Felicity would be scrappy. You know Oliver would be incapable of not teaching his daughter how to defend herself (at the very least) including any and every dirty trick possible.

JamieLynn832002 October 19, 2018 Share October 19, 2018 I do think being a scrappy fighter is inevitable for any child of Olicity no matter what both because Oliver would have always made sure his children could defend themselves (I think, the fact he never taught Felicity confuses me) and because any children they have will grow up in a world where Oliver's identity and past are known which brings inherent dangers. 5 Link to comment

tv echo October 20, 2018 Share October 20, 2018 (edited) I'm shocked surprised that DC Comics focused on Felicity in this 702 promo tweet... Quote Felicity Smoak has always been an important part of Team Arrow (to say nothing about Oliver’s life in general), but she’s always been more of a behind-the-scenes girl. Her contributions come from behind a computer monitor, safe at home base. However, with Oliver in jail and Ricardo Diaz vowing vengeance, Felicity’s become determined to hunt him down at all costs, even if it puts her at odds with John Diggle and ARGUS, as the newest Arrow episode photos seem to show. Also, what’s going on behind bars between Oliver and the mean team of Brick, Bronze Tiger and Derek Sampson?

And, by all accounts, the exit is an extremely amicable one. The actor/actress in question — a fan favorite by any measure — is leaving of his/her own accord. And they’ve given the Powers That Be at said hour-long series plenty of notice so that they can craft an appropriate exit for the character. But to reveal the identity of the performer with one-and-a-half-feet out the door would risk spoiling the storyline, so for now we’re giving this piece of news the Blind Item treatment.

way2interested October 20, 2018 Share October 20, 2018 Lol https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/arrow-season-7-overview-beth-schwartz-explains-flash-forwards-1153203 Quote Fun fact: While Shadowhunters star Katherine McNamara was previously reported as a new cast member for this season of Arrow, not much is known about her role, even after the season seven premiere. Schwartz wants to keep most of the details about Maya, a skilled street fighter in Star City, secret but promises that the character will debut soon. "We'll see her in the first half of the season," she reveals. "There are still many surprises to come." But also: Quote The flash forwards will not be in every episode, but they will be in most. "When we had flashbacks in every episode, sometimes it felt like a little too much," Schwartz says. "I wanted to make sure that we were telling the story we needed to tell instead of being forced to tell them in every episode. With the flash forwards, we're able to see the consequences of what our team has done in the present day story. In the future storyline you're going to be able to see were vigilantes effective? How did that affect Star City in the future? How did it affect The Glades? How did it affect all the characters we love? Are people going to be the same or different? It opens up the world a lot." Quote "You'll see a lot more in episode 2 that he's much darker," Schwartz says of the 20 years older, Lian Yu resident Roy. "He's definitely been burned. There will be a lot of mysteries to reveal throughout the season about what happened to him in that time span. We don't like the happily-ever-afters, apparently." And now that the adult version of William has found Roy on Lian Yu, expect to learn more about why he's sought out his father's first protege and what's happened to him over the past 20 years as he and Roy develop a mentor/mentee relationship. "Last year we spent a lot of time with Oliver as a father, and those stories were extremely dynamic," Schwartz says. "Trying to figure out what it's like for a child to have a father who is Oliver Queen has been endless with the amount of stories we can come up with. How that affects a small child with all the trauma he's been through, it's interesting to see how William turns out when he's an adult." 2 Link to comment

I think its possible that they could equate Felicity as an original character forgetting she was only a regular in S2 because she was such a huge part of S1. EBR has actually tweeted more about Arrow and seemed more enthusiastic recently than she has in a while, not that it means anything. She could be leaving and focusing on her smaller projects full time, Arrow likes to off main/popular characters at least once a season as well but so far there isn't any evidence it's her. Nothing to suggest DR yet either though there are multiple ways they could have Diggle leave/die sob. But it could be any number of network shows. It's a great way to get clicks, tweets and cooments because I've seen it pop up in many fandoms and it's inevitable that it will apply to at least one show in May.

way2interested October 20, 2018 Share October 20, 2018 I think the concept is that Oliver is the reason for all of his trauma, troubles, etc., so that relationship is the real catalyst for his life, while Felicity is the stabilizing force/parent. Obviously since he still has the hozen and seems to be really wealthy, they'll probably touch on how he's successful, which says more for Felicity than it does Oliver. 3 minutes ago, Featherhat said: I think its possible that they could equate Felicity as an original character forgetting she was only a regular in S2 because she was such a huge part of S1.

scarynikki12 October 20, 2018 Share October 20, 2018 I think it's mostly likely a cast member from a procedural on another network. Those shows can handle cast turnover without any real effect. I'd be shocked if it's a CW show and I definitely wouldn't expect it to be Arrow. They're down to Amell (who just signed a new contract) and Ramsay (who can't help himself when it comes to spoilers). Moving on, I agree that this Maya character will be the baby Ramsay cheerfully spoiled back in May. My question is if her name is really Maya or if we'll get a Tina-Dinah situation and the name is a placeholder until the episode airs. If her name were really Bonnie or Suzanne (aka, the real names of the two characters who have donned the Arrowette costume), they'd want to keep that under wraps as long as possible. She could be a new character entirely but I suspect they'll be going for a reimagined version of an existing DC character. She will be Felicity's daughter after all and that would be following in Mom's footsteps. 3 Link to comment
apinknightmare October 20, 2018 Share October 20, 2018 If they're going to make a whole storyline out of redeeming Black Siren, I hope they do better with her backstory than her dad dying and not making it home with her birthday cake and Oliver dying. I'm really tired of these things that so many people manage to live through and continue to be decent human beings being used as backstories for gross villain behavior. I also hope they drop the "Am I E1 Laurel?" from her whole crisis and let her be someone different. The whole thing is gross. As for the BI, I think it's a procedural as well. It sounds like someone they were already phasing out anyway given the description. 7 Link to comment

I’d like someone to just ask her one simple question: “What were you like before you became a meta?” And don’t mention one thing about E1-LL. Don’t try to find any similarities. They could be complete opposites and BS could still be redeemed. Except some people don’t seem to get that, and I blame the show with the whole Lance trying to find his daughter in BS last season for that. If they didn’t have that or Beth saying BS’ story is is she villain or Laurel, I don’t think some fans would equate BS with LL 2.0 and might actually be able to see her as a separate character. 3 Link to comment
