Well Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg had some interesting things to say about the upcoming season. He spoke about casting Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer/The Atom, and the chemistry a key character. 

"[Brandon] actually did a chemistry test with Emily and we didn't have any doubt [before], but when everyone saw that, the two of them just jumped off the screen together. It's funny because we had a picture of Stephen, Stephen's headshot, and we had Emily's headshot, and there was a blank on the board. Once you put Brandon's up there, you're like, 'Oh yeah, these are two guys.' said Kreisberg.

So that could be a spoiler that things won't go so smoothly with Oliver Felicity's relationship. We will have to wait and find out!
