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.

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...

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.
