So
much came to pass in these last two episodes Arrow that we’ll have
plenty to chew on until the series returns on January 15.
After
an early screening of Arrow
Season 2 Episode 9,
the producers – Andrew Kreisberg, Greg Berlanti and Geoff Johns –
along with star Grant Gustin fielded questions about The Flash, Slade
being alive, Roy’s journey, the debut of the Arrow’s mask and
more.

down for some serious scoop and consider yourself spoiler warned...
Olicity? While
there is a definite fan base wanting Oliver and Felicity to hook up,
their romance – if it ever happens – is going to be as
complicated as anything else on Arrow. “Oliver isn't quite sure
what he feels,” Kreisberg said. “He knows he feels something for
her but can't quite define it. And I think he's sort of surprised in
this episode when Dig points out to him that what you're feeling
right now might actually be termed jealousy.’”
Felicity’s
take on their attraction is a little different. “I think she
doesn't want to like Oliver in a way. You know, she finds him
unattainable. And in a way, he is unattainable. Especially after you
saw after episode six when he sort of said that it's probably better
that I'm not with someone I care about.”
The
producer added that we’ll see in the first episode back in 2014
just what kind of affect Barry’s presence has had on the
Ollie/Felicity relationship.
‘The
Perfect Flash.’ “He's
earnest,” explained Johns. “Grant, as an actor, has brought more
to Barry Allen than I think we've seen before especially seeing him
in the days of when he's taking his first steps. But he's got that
heart, he's humor, he's got compassion. Barry was always that nice
guy. He's the guy that stops and makes sure everyone's all right and
then keeps going. And Grant embodies that. He's the perfect Flash.”
Arrow’s
Episode 20: What was once going to be the backdoor pilot of
The Flash, episode 20, will now be a regular episode of Arrow. “In
some ways, having that be the backdoor pilot we actually made things
a little bit harder,” said Kreisberg, “because we were going to
have to take a right turn from where we were in our ongoing story [in
Arrow] to incorporate that and in some ways this has freed us to take
The Flash and just do The Flash separately and stay on a straight
line.”
That
said, we’ll still hear references to Barry even if he’s not seen,
Berlanti added. “You hear about what happened to him in the way
that you’re hearing now about S.T.A.R. Labs and things like that on
the periphery and certainly in terms of Felicity since she has a
connection with him.”
Arrow
& The Flash: Don’t expect The Flash series (God willing) be
a carbon copy of Arrow. “We’ll want to keep Arrow as distinctive
as possible and Flash and as distinctive as possible,” said Johns.
“Part of the fun will be seeing how those two things play out in
both shows hopefully if we get that opportunity but there are story
reasons that Flash feels different and that he’s taking on
different things.”
