The first question of this morning’s Upfronts press call for The CW came from TV Line’s Michael Ausiello who asked CW President Mark Pedowitz a question on many Arrow fans’ minds: Will we be seeing Emily Bett Rickards in Arrow Season 8?

Pedowitz said that Emily Bett Rickards was “terrific” and praised how Executive Producer Beth Schwartz wrapped up Felicity’s story.

With that said, “if Beth can find a way to bring her back that makes sense and Emily is available, we’d love to have her. Otherwise, I’m pleased by how they said goodbye to the character,” Pedowitz said.
