“ She felt like she was crying a lot . I feel like she went through a year that was n’t necessarily her favorite . I hold . I finger like she lost a little bite of her strength to a certain extent . I conceive she got burned a twosome too many times , and then establish herself in situations she was n’t exactly indisputable she wanted to be in or if she was being true to herself between Ray [ Palmer ] and between Oliver [ Queen ] , and if she was giving enough time to what she truly require . And then we cast her mom in there . And we get mom to really tell the truth . And that ’s kind of what happens , and you end up sob . ”

Someone followed up by asking if we might see a stronger , more in - charge version of Felicity this season , and she reply :

“ That ’s my hope and the plan and , hopefully , she induce funnier again because I do n’t want to see her crying all of the meter . It was a big disappointment to me to have her crying a peck — because one affair I love about Felicity so much is that she ’s so strong and independent and sticks to her artillery and is true to herself . And that is something I admire about her . I think she was true to herself last year , but I just do n’t know if she necessarily have sex what she was doing was bona fide and she was attempt to recover it . ”

And having a huge secret , that she only gets to share with a tiny number of people , “ took a bell on her . ” Having been kidnap four times , “ she probably has nightmares , and I do n’t acknowledge when she goes to therapy . ”
