And the Arrow fans did thus rejoice.
No doubt Adam will be happy when he sees this.

It's very nice to see an awful couple be denied their happy ending for once. It's exactly what all of those shits on social media who trashed Laurel and demanded Olicity deserve. They got pandered to all these years, only to get the rug pulled out from under them at the 11th hour.  |

This was a surprise, because, for months, it has been rumored Katie Cassidy is leaving the show this year during episode 7.18 and the plots are lining up that she might be going. But that could have changed now.
But with what I heard and how S7 has been showing flash-forwards where Felicity is alive and well in the future with a grown-up daughter and has been in hiding, maybe they are just going to have Felicity go into hiding, so S8 ends with Oliver reuniting with his wife and daughter. Of course, the huge crisis crossover might mean those flash-forwards are altered, when the earths become one, and we get a whole new world and history.
I'm happy with this news, but I'm not convinced they'll not give Olicity a happy ending, Felicity might still reappear in the series finale in a cameo, if they can get Emily back, you know they'll try hard to do that for the last episode, much like they did with David on X-Files back in 2002 with the then series finale, even when he left in the last season. We'll see.

So I guess Felicity won't be killed off then.

Okay, there is no question, I am overjoyed at this news, Arrow ending is sad, but at the very least the final season will not contain the Olicity poison, they've set it up so she has to go into hiding, but as long as she is absent, that is fine with me. However, at this point I feel its just too little, too late, if she had left three of four seasons ago then there could have been time to course-correct and set Oliver back on track with Laurel. But once season 7 ends there are just ten episode left, and with Katie rumoured leaving as well....unfortunately it seems like that's it, there just isn't time to repair what's been broken and with Katie going I guess Oliver and Laurel will just never get to be. Such a shame. And of course the Olicity nuts are going crazy over on twitter, Juliana Harvaky who plays Dinah Drake as well as Stephen Amell's own wife are receiving abuse from "fans". Also they're saying season 8 will fail as Felicity is the only thing that makes Arrow popular, these people are of course derranged, Felicity wasn't even a main character in the first season, she just had guest appearances, and she wasn't in the first episode. God Arrow could have ended up so good if it had just followed the comic relationship, Ollie and Laurel are just meant to be, no question. Luckily the writers of The Flash learned from Arrow's mistake and made sure to ensure that Barry and Iris ended up together, if only the Arrow writers had been as competent. I think more than anything I'm mad that she's going when the show is almost over, what's the point in leaving now? You spend years ruining the show and you can't even show up for the last ten episodes? I checked Emily's instagram and she even admitted in her statement that she knows her character also got more storylines than the Black Canary unfairly. Anyways, in honor of Felicity Smoak I'll leave some photos detailing her contributions to Arrow: Screaming at Oliver:
Crying at Oliver:
That time DC tried to include her in the comics and she was so universally hated they removed her character after three issues: Everytime she scolded Oliver for keeping secrets and then kept tons of her own: And lastly that one time she hacked into a government system and redirected a nuclear missile to a countryside town and killed 10,000 people, such a hero! Ollie and Laurel forever:
I just have to hope somewhere out there in the multiverse there is an Earth where Arrow had good writers and wrote the show properly giving us the one, true, comic canon pairing of Green Arrow and Black Canary. Not Green Arrow and Felishitty.

The same thing happened on Smallville when Green Arrow then played by Justin Hartley went with tech geek Chloe Sullivan and married her the last year instead of Black Canary after many a fanfiction story written on the two being boyfriend/girlfriend as a service to all those people from the producers although it was always said Smallville was it's own story and not comic book related so fans understood the change then.

Yep, that's just how unbelievably ridiculous it got, with the pandering the writers were showing her character, they literally had her nuke an entire town and NOTHING happened, no arrests, nothing. In fact in the very next season someone temporarily joins the Arrow team who was from that town, when he finds out what she did he tells her she was brave and it was the right thing to do!
That is just one of the main reasons Arrow was ruined, the writers did everything they could to make it look like Felicity was this amazing, strong, independent heroine who could do no wrong and anything she said was true, it was just unreal watching it at the time, I kept thinking that I must have been dreaming and that didn't just happen, I should also mention that the episode in question, the season four finale, was just four episodes after they killed Original Laurel, to give you an idea of how bad that season was.

What the hell were these writers smoking!? Felicity is a cold blooded criminal, and the authorities should have landed on her like a ton of bricks. I don't care how many powerful friends that Ollie has, Felicity committed a terrorist act. No way she would get off scott free.
