Will the Olicity romance return by mid-season? You betcha!

I'll agree with you, as I was about to post pretty much what you said. I have nothing against the pairing though I think she could get over her harshness. You don't pair up with someone and then demand they change. If you do that, you were either desperate to settle for the first man you could snare, or you're nothing but a control freak.
Anyway, as I was saying before I sidetracked myself, I have nothing against the pairing but dammit, the story doesn't need to be HER STORY through and through. Get back to focusing on Oliver.
That's what I'm afraid won't happen. People have been making jokes about her being the Queen and controlling the plot, controlling Oliver, being the focus of every minute of the show. They're mostly right. This is a superhero/action/mystery show, not the "Felicity Rules the Roost Show".Because supporting your thesis is tough, but throwing adjectives is easy. -

They changed her character a lot when they paired her with Oliver, she wasn't like that in the early seasons. I want her to be vocal, but not in the way she does it. I sometimes think that the writers are either idiots or want to write her unlikable on purpose.
But the same goes for every female character they pair with Oliver.
I remember a scene in s1 where Laurel specifically went to Oliver's home to give him a lecture, what a bad person he is.
The other characters were always written to be at odds with him, but that's not the worst, the worst is the way they do it, like some angry teachers scolding the kids for not behaving. -

My favourite - when it comes to love relationship - was Mckenna (cannot remember how you spell it, sorry). She seemed to care a lot for him and vice-versa.
But I think the show would be better if we saw the romantic side of him only occasionally. A big role in his life (seen but not necessarily shown), no role in the team would make my day !

For me the biggest indication that they are still going with this couple is that Oliver does not interact with any other female character, but Felicity and Thea(his sister).
So yes, if they wanted to try something different they would have brought a new female character, someone who Oliver will have a good chemistry too and try to tease a change. But they are not. -

You think a man stalking a woman and using reverse sociology is cute? What's wrong with you
2nd, they got rid of Olicity in 4x15, ratings went down in 4x16,
They got rid of Dig, ratings go even lower
So for rating's sake, they need to bring back Olicity and OTA
