@TimeShade - Finally someone else who sees it. Credited as main cast doesn't exactly mean that character will be alive. Look at Hawkman, he was main cast for LOT and he died in 1x02 so who says a main character, hopefully Felicity, isn't going to be killed off in 6x01 but is credited as main cast to keep the surprise? Walking Dead did the same thing to cover for Negan's victim in 7x01. It could also be in flashbacks to earlier seasons so that character is still present despite being dead.
