Arrow Season 5 Premiere: 13 Questions We're Asking After 'Legacy'

11. Who Is Felicity's New Boyfriend?

Ok, so we do know who Felicity's new boyfriend is - he's called Officer Benton, and is one of the supposedly good guys in the SCPD - but we don't know who he is.

Fair play to the show, it doesn't include too much relationship drama (it's never not going to have it, and nor should it strive for that - it just needs to balance it way better), with hardly any reference towards 'Olicity' until near the end. And straight after that, in comes Benton, who has obviously been seeing Felicity a while judging by the fact he's in her apartment when she comes home.

This being Arrow, though, is it really going to be that straightforward? Is this just going to be a love interest for Oliver to get jealous over, or is Officer Benton hiding some bigger secrets?
