More scenes with Connor and Oliver together can be expected by the viewers as the new season will air next year.

TV Line has reported that Ricamora's promotion to series regular will be effective immediately upon the start of "How to Get Away With Murder" Season 3. It can be expected that Ricamora's Oliver will have bigger shoes to fill and will play a more important role than he had in the first and second season.

In the previous episodes, Oliver was an IT specialist who Connor and the rest of Annalise Keating's (played by 2015 Emmy Awards Best Actress Viola Davis) had consulted to in some cases that involve technology and hacking. However, the big scenes of Oliver in the show are those with Connor as the lovers' relationship go through a roller coaster ride at many occasions. 

Oliver has garnered a huge fanbase over the years that at one point, when Oliver's future in "How to Get Away With Murder" seemed to fade, a huge fan outcry was heard all over the internet. In an interview with TV Line, Ricamora expressed how happy he is to know that Oliver has become so popular among the fans, but also noted of some fans who just couldn't handle the possibility of him leaving the show.

"There was a real outpouring of love and concern for Oliver, and a fear that he might killed off... but a lot of it was done in a very over-the-top way," Ricamora said.

"One person threatened to fight Pete (Nowalk, HTGAWM showrunner). Someone else said they were going to throw their TV out the window if my character died. There were a lot of memes too, even ones with Beyonce," he added.
