15 greatest Arrowverse couples of all time, ranked

8. Oliver and Felicity (Arrow)

A relationship that was formed out of nothing more than the sizzling chemistry between actors Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards and, if you watch their scenes back, it’s easy to see why. He was the lone vigilante on a quest to save Star City, and she was the quirky and adorkable I.T. girl who helped him solve all his technical problems.

The pair grew close during their first two years on Team Arrow, with Felicity clearly developing a crush on Oliver. However, between saving the city and falling in love with the Lance sisters, The Arrow just didn’t see her… until he eventually did. From the beginning of the show’s third season, the dynamic between them changed dramatically, and they attempted to go out on a date. Although it didn’t exactly work out, it changed the course of the show forever and, in that moment, Olicity was truly born.

The problem with these two was that, despite their insane amount of chemistry, they were much better apart than they ever were together. With the writers inexplicably switching gears and attempting to turn it into the show’s primary couple, their relationship was forcibly shoved to the forefront and was one of the two main reasons why Season 4 was a major low point for the series.

Having said that, once the forced conflict, questionable storylines and melodramatic contrivances were dropped and the pair spent a while apart, they reunited, got married and have managed to live happily ever after (well, live, at least). Felicity has even proven to be a fantastic mother-figure to Oliver’s son, William and, like always, has supported her husband in even the darkest of times.

At their worst, Oliver and Felicity may have dragged the show down and depleted its ratings, but at their best, there are flashes of brilliance from this loving couple that would go to the ends of the earth for each other. Without a doubt, a dynamic duo unlike any other.
