Yahoo News Arrow star says Felicity return in season 8 is 'not up to her'
Earlier this year, Arrow star Emily Bett Rickards made the shock announcement that she would be leaving the show, with the season 7 finale writing her character Felicity out.
The CW president Mark Pedowitz has previously said that the door is open for a return if the actress wants one, but Emily herself has said it's not up to her.
Speaking at MCM in London over the weekend, the actress said: "(A return is) not completely up to me. Never say never."

When asked how she felt about leaving the show, the star said she was "nervous about what life were to hold afterwards".
"I spent seven years of my 20s on this show – people fall in love with this character that I now have to say goodbye to," she added. "She'll always be a huge part of my life, as will all these people. I'm saying goodbye to a family I've been working with for the past seven years.
"We sent her off in a beautiful way and she lives on in these people. I see her everywhere I go, so it's not totally goodbye."
