Yeah they also use her true name in the courtroom "Dinah Laurel Lance"  I think its a nice touch to add that in despite the fact that they made it her moms name too. Yeah, look at the Flash, the relationships never got too much in the way. Even when Patty Spivot was annoying as hell towards the end, I loved Barry's sentiment towards her, it was so detatched, like Barry was acting out my feelings "Just go already!  You're gonna leave, just leave, gahhd!!" Flash seemed to use just enough to fill the relationship quota for the CW. But its when it reaches the point where its the focal point that it becomes a problem. And it is worse that Felicity is a made up character. If Laurel were in her place -- even if it too was dragging the show down -- I wouldnt feel as bad about it.
