15 Reasons Why Olicity From ‘Arrow’ Is the Best Couple on TV
Olicity forever! Scroll through Tumblr and you’ll see just about every Arrow fan shipping Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards). The couple may not have been paired together in DC’s original Green Arrow comics (instead Oliver/Green Arrow is often paired with Dinah Laurel Lance/Black Canary), but you would never guess that. Amell’s chemistry with Rickards makes Olicity one of the most entertaining and realistic relationships in recent years.
