Felicity Smoak has been Oliver Queen’s love interest on “Arrow” for a few seasons now, but not every fan enjoys watching their relationship unfold on the small screen. There are many fans out there who feel that Oliver should be with some version of the Black Canary, and now that Juliana Harkavy’s Dinah Drake has taken on the Black Canary mantle, that is once again a possibility.
Juliana Harkavy recently spoke to ComicBookMovie.com about a possible romance between Dinah and Oliver, and she said that she’s unsure if it will happen, but if it does it probably won’t happen anytime soon.
“[Laughs] I love everything that pays homage to the original comics and I think that’s really cool but in terms of the show and what Dinah is going through, I don’t know if she’s ready for something like that with Oliver or anyone. I think if that were to happen, it would be so far down into the future. I don’t know if it would even happen! But if it does, I think it would be very cool as it’s such a great homage to the original stories.”
Who would you rather see Oliver end up with, Dinah Drake or Felicity Smoak? Sound off in the comments below.
“Arrow” will return on Thursday, October 12.
After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. He returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs done by his family and fighting injustice.
As the Green Arrow, he protects his city with the help of former soldier John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer-science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), his vigilante-trained sister Thea Queen (Willa Holland), Deputy Mayor Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne), brilliant inventor Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum), and his new recruits, street-savvy Rene Ramirez (Rick Gonzalez) and meta-human Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy).
Oliver has finally solidified and strengthened his crime-fighting team only to have it threatened when unexpected enemies from his past return to Star City, forcing Oliver to rethink his relationship with each member of his “family”.
