Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) is getting a new lady in his life.
Elysia Rotaru will play a love interest to the vigilante in Arrow season four, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
That may sound ominous for fans who rejoiced when Oliver finally road off into the sunset with Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) in the season three finale. Fear not, Olicity faithful. Rotaru’s character will appear in flashback sequences and will not be a rival to Felicity. Rotaru has appeared on WB/CW’s Supernatural and CW’s iZombie.
Rotaru’s casting follows news that True Blood alum Rutina Wesley is in negotiations to join the show as an unnamed character, and Enlisted alum Parker Young has been cast as a love interest for Oliver’s sister Thea (Willa Holland).
