A slew of casting updates for the upcoming season of The CW's hit superhero drama TV series "Arrow" arrived this week indicating the new love interests for the show's major characters.
The report from Entertainment Weekly said that the series has cast Elysia Rotaru as the "new love interest" for Oliver (Stephen Amell). However, Olicity fans need not to worry on this one. EW further explained that the "Supernatural" actress will recur in a series of flashbacks as "someone from Oliver's past" although further details on her character are expected to arrive in the coming weeks.
"Oliver is gonna have a love interest in the past that will serve as a parallel or potentially a contrast to his love affair with Felicity in the present," executive producer Marc Guggenheim told Entertainment Weekly.
