They are sooo adorable...😳

Marc Guggenheim on Oliver and Felicity in season 3

Q: Will we see Oliver have a challenge in being truthful and honest with [Felicity], or is that part of their attraction, that he can't be honest and truthful with her?

A: What's fun about the season premiere is you do get to see him be honest and truthful with her. For both good and bad. I think he's finally revealing some secrets that she didn't know. And her reaction to those secrets is interesting.

I think they're in love with each other, and when you're in love with someone it's very hard for that person you love to tell you something that's going to make you fall out of love with them instantaneously. But that emotional intimacy deepens their relationship, deepens their connection.

Ross, whose credits also include Nashville, Days of Our Lives and Glee, is slated to appear in at least one episode in early November. Details on Felicity's mother " including her name and whether she'll appear in flashback or present day " are being kept heavily guarded.

As TVGuide.com previously teased, Arrow is planning a series of Felicity-centric flashbacks that the producers call "the secret origin of Felicity Smoak." "We are absolutely going to get to know her," executive producer Marc Guggenheim recently said. "We know that she went to MIT, we know that her mom was a cocktail waitress in Vegas and we're going to meet that mom. And we also know that her dad is not in the picture."
