User blog comment:StoneRox/Olicity as a viable relation ship?/@comment-74.133.77.195-20140718165628

This is a tough question. Like one of the other commenters, I am absolutely not a fan of advocating certain romantic couples. In fact, my response to the whole Olicity issue is a paradox. I totally want more action and story, yet I am not extremely concerned about Oliver's love life. As for his relationship with Felicity, I used to see them as brother and sister. Now, it feels like something else yet with the feeling of family still attached. Along with Diggle, she is the closest thing Oliver has to a family now that he has lost both his parents, and he is estranged from his half-sister. All in all, they have a very wonderful relationship.

On Comicbook.com, according to Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg, the story arc about Oliver having a child is supposed to be addressed in Season 3. The revelation that he is a father will definitely add a new dynamic to his life. My only guess at this time is that something major happens, which reunites him with Sandra.

Regarding Oliver retiring as Arrow, that cannot happen. Realistically, Starling City will always need Green Arrow just as Gotham needs Batman. Also, Roy is still developing his skills as an archer. Perhaps we will start seeing Oliver train him in martial arts in Season 3. Again, though, it is highly unlikely Oliver will be succeeded by anybody soon.
