Yes, I too adored the handling of the sexuality aspects of the character. It just was.
I really don't like Laurel as a character. She's so shallow somehow. 2 dimensional. But I also never liked the actress in Supernatural, so I wondered at first if it was just her... but I think the writing has a lot more to do with it now.
Thea used to annoy me a bit - the teenage angst angle getting over-played. And at first Roy too seemed very 2-dimensional, with all the poor little lower class angle, etc. But I've come around to both Thea and Roy this season and have actually been enjoying some of the interactions between them and Oliver. I'm hoping now that Roy is on the team, he'll become a proper sidekick and gain a bit more personality. Plus there will be the issue of keeping secrets from Thea which could go well or not depending on the writing. Not one I'd bet on.
Loving that there is now really a team of five - Ollie, Sara, Roy, Dig and Felicity. It's fun! I hope it stays that way for a while. :)
On a side note, I love Laurel's Dad. That character has always played well for me. As does Walter. I just wanna squish him. :)
