If only Andrew Kriesberg was still a main part bts

As for where this leaves the Oliver and Laurel relationship, Kreisberg says, “It’s Oliver and Laurel. It’s Lois and Clark. They can break up, get together, sleep together, break up, get married, get divorced, and she can forget him.”

Over the first two seasons, the writers “really adopted this mantra of, ‘We’ll give people what they need, even if that’s not what they want,'” Kreisberg continues. “Having Oliver and Laurel get together in season 1 is what people needed then. But then, they needed them to go on a break, so Oliver could have his storyline with Sara for this season. That’s what felt right to us.

“Oliver has women in his life. He has Laurel. He has Felicity. Helena is doing a 10 to 20 stretch. But Laurel will always be one of the closest people to him, whether that’s romantic or not. That’s why it’s so powerful to us that, in his darkest hour, Laurel is the one who pulls him out of it.”

Kreisberg previews, “A lot of the things we have done have been leading up to what we’re doing in the finale, and then moving that forward to season 3.”

He got how important the relationship in general was. Not just romantic but overall.
