Stephen Amell Posts A Tribute To Emily Bett Rickards

As Arrow begins shooting its Season 7 finale, “Oliver Queen” himself, Stephen Amell, has posted his own tribute to the departing Emily Bett Rickards, who announced that she (and her character Felicity Smoak) are done at the end of he season.

“For me… August 3rd, 2012 is the most important day in the history of our show. It was the first day I worked with Emily,” Stephen wrote.

“Her energy and the vibrancy she gave to Felicity Smoak is only surpassed by what she personally gave to me. She was a co-worker that became a best friend. So on the first day of our last episode together, I’d like everyone to know how deeply I appreciate the past seven years. EmBett… We wouldn’t be here without you. I love you. And I cannot wait to see what you do next.”
