Arrow‘s Oliver will have another woman to contend with when Season 4 starts up — but interestingly enough, she’s been part of his life all along.

The CW series has cast Elysia Rotaru as a lady from the superhero’s past, EW.com reports… and that’s about all that’s known about her recurring character.

His past relationship with the mystery woman “will serve as a parallel or potentially a contrast to his love affair with Felicity in the present,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim told the site. (Translation: Olicity fans probably don’t have to worry about her sinking that ‘ship.)

Rotaru’s TV credits include Smallville, Hellcats, Supernatural and iZombie.

Arrow returns to The CW on Wednesday, Oct. 7, at 8/7c.

Arrow fans, how are we feeling about Rotaru’s addition to the cast? Sound off in the comments!
