Creator J.J. Abrams grew frustrated with the limitations on the stories he could write for Felicity and began to let his mind wander to more extreme ideas, like what if Felicity turned out to be a spy. Obviously, he couldn't explore that on his grounded show about college relationships, so he pitched his new show Alias instead. The WB also thought ...
Felicity's first college friend was Julie, a guitar player and singer. Originally Julie was written to be a dancer, but actress Amy Jo Johnson revealed to producersafter being cast that she didn't know how to dance, so the character's musical interest was shifted a bit.
Amy Jo Johnson may not have been a dancer, but she did have some experience with combat. Johnson was the original Pink Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers before being cast on Felicity. Her old role is referenced in the season one Halloween episode when a girl dressed as the Pink Ranger kisses Ben.
Greg Grunberg, who played Sean Blumberg, was actually speaking to his costarswhen his character gave a toast at Noel's wedding in the series finale. He knew that Sarah McLachlan would be covering his words in the final edit, so Grunberg used the moment to thank Keri Russell, Scott Speedman, and Scott Foley for their work.
Felicity was one of the first shows to find controversy with music copyrights. For this reason, nearly all of the music used in the original broadcasts is not the sameas the songs used for the episodes on DVDs or in syndication.
Even though shows like Friends, Gossip Girl, NYPD Blue, and more were given permission to use the name New York University, the school denied Felicity, stating that it feared the show would portray topics too racy for the university to be associated with. That's why the college in the show is called University of New York instead.
One of the most iconic images of Felicitywas the protagonist's long curly hair. After season 1 wrapped, Keri Russell played a prank on the producers by sending them a photo of herself in a short-haired wig. The creative team freaked out but afterward decided that it would be a good decision for the character, so Russell got her hair cut in real lif...
On her audition day, Russell wore a baggy sweater and put her hair in a bun to try and avoid getting the smaller part of Felicity's beautiful high school bestie Maya. Creator J.J. Abrams saw through the efforts at unattractiveness and almost didn't give her the part because she was too pretty, but changed his mind when he heard her deliver the line...
One of the writers for Felicity received quite a bit of attention during the show's airing. Riley Weston was hired as a writer after sending in scripts and presenting herself as a recent high school graduate. Weston was hailed as a prodigy for being able to write so well at a young age, but in actuality, she was in her early thirties. Once the WB l...
Felicity's New York style was inspired by the Woody Allen classic Annie Hall. Like Diane Keaton in that role, Russell would wear a fair amount of men's clothing that was slightly altered. Once Russell got a feel for the manner of dress, she became a sticklerfor what her character would wear, refusing to wear nail polish, hair accessories, or certai...
