Den of Geek was part of a group of reporters who chatted with Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards on their Vancouver set earlier this month. Here’s what they teased about the Thanksgiving episode, what it’s like working with the young actor who plays William, and what we can expect from Oliver and Felicity moving forward. Not even Arrow could upset us too much on Thanksgiving. Does Oliver fail the turkey? “No,” said Amell. “He doesn’t fail his meals.” Amell added that this was his first really busy episode, filming-wise, since Episode 2. Arrow Season 6 has seen a noticeably lighter work load for the Arrow star, giving more narrative time to the rest of the ensemble cast. Jack Moore plays Oliver’s son, William. What has it been like for Amell and Emily Bett Rickards (Felicity) to share screen time with the young actor? “Some of my stuff with Jack this year has been some of my favorite stuff to play,” said Amell. “Really, really good actor.” “Jack is awesome, first of all,” said Rickards. “He is really, really cool. He lives far out of town too, so he drives like 3 hours in every time for set. His parents are really great and supportive and he is always super game and takes direction really well. Like a professional, who is just shorter than me.” As someone who thinks “Thanksgiving should be at least four times a year,” Rickards said she is excited that they get to do a Thanksgiving episode on Arrow, though she’s holding out for Halloween. What might be next for Oliver and Felicity, now that they’ve seemingly moved past the issues that had previously kept them apart? Might they move back in together? “Yeah, I think that’s a pretty safe bet,” said Amell, adding that William will always be part of the equation for Oliver moving forward. “I do think that Oliver’s relationship with William, it has changed things forever,” said Amell. “I don’t know where it ends up, but it’s not like we are going to erase him having a son. It’s now part of what we are doing.”
