If they want a tall, lanky white dude they already have Barry. If they wanted Barry to mentor someone they had Wally. If they wanted a teammate with loaded powers, they had Cisco (or Caitlyn). If they wanted snarky comments, they had Cisco (or whatever version of Harry is in S5). I liked the Flash characters so much in the Earth-X crossover that I binge watched the first 3.5 seasons in two months to catch up and start watching live. And after the second half of season 4 and this news about season 5 I'm ready to be done with the show. Again, what a bummer. 5 Link to comment

Ralph is probably the most annoying character on the show that is not a version of Harrison Wells (not including Eobard-as-Wells or Harry from Earth-2 because I actually like those two versions of Wells). 8 Link to comment
adora721 June 16, 2018 Share June 16, 2018 A friend on Tumblr let me know about a JPK interview: http://starrymag.com/jessica-parker-kennedy-the-flash/ For one answer, she dismissed any worries I had about her telling Barry to "Remember to say I do", which he didn't at either ceremony.

Trini June 17, 2018 Share June 17, 2018 I mean, I still wouldn't like it, but if the show were losing Cavanagh/Wells I'd get it. But now there's going to be two unnecessary dudes, when they already struggle with giving everyone something to do. Semi-related: I hope they announce Jessica Parker Kennedy as a regular soon. 2 Link to comment
Proteus June 17, 2018 Share June 17, 2018 I doubt JPK is going to be a regular since they upped HS & DN and the flash writers account posted a congrats to them. I think they'd have waited for JPK to be announced as well before issuing a congrats to those two if she were. Link to comment
Trini June 17, 2018 Share June 17, 2018 (edited) I'm probably being impatient, and they'll say something closer to Comic Con. The major casting news for last year weren't announced until July. From the Helbing interviews, it seems Nora Allen's story will be significant, so I'm expecting an announcement about JPK joining the cast. I don't think the order of casting news is that important.

I'm just thinking they gave congrats to two new regulars. I think they'd have waited to tweet that until all new regulars were announced if there's anymore. I will be surprised if Flash goes up to 9 regulars. I think JPK should have been upped over DN but that's just me. Teddy Sears and Violette Beane were on season 2 almost just as much as the regulars so I don't think it really matters if JPK is upped. She's likely a one season character anyway. Link to comment

On paper, The Flash is rich with diversity. In practice ---- it's an object lesson on how numbers mean absolutely nothing where intent is lacking, how "diversity casting" can (arguably) lead to more harmful portrayals of POCs in media. 4 Link to comment

I wasn't pleased with the writing for Wally when he was a regular but it was the actor who wanted out. I believe that if it were up to TPTB they would have kept him. Disappointed but not surprised that Ralph is now a regular. Since he survived the season, it was only a matter of time. Happy about Cecile and Nora. 3 Link to comment
cambridgeguy June 20, 2018 Share June 20, 2018 Keep in mind that being a regular doesn't mean being in every episode or even being all that important when present (see Thea Queen, Quentin Lance, and James Olsen, to name a few). 2 Link to comment

This is an excellent point. Although, up to this point, with the exception of Tom C, every cast member has been in every episode of the series. Tom only had a one year contract, but since his character was such a success they brought him back. But, his second contract has a different setup since he only appears in around 18 episodes a season. Jesse L Martin has also missed one episode, 4.14. I’m hoping that some of these new contracts are set up so that they only have to appear in a certain number of episodes. Especially Ralph. 15 episodes would be more than enough for me, seeing as how the best episodes of season 4 were ones that he wasn’t in, as far as I’m concerned. 3 Link to comment

Shouldn't only the lead character be contracted to appear in every episode? I don't know why Cisco and Caitlin haven't missed an episode yet. Most of the times, they are in the episode just standing around with no plot. 3 Link to comment

I’m not sure why they want each character in each episode, but I think it would be better to make it so that doesn’t happen moving forward. This show is going to be very crowded next year if they don’t change that. It’s strange to think how little these characters have developed considering the fact that they have been in every episode. It’s almost as if several characters are simply used as plot devices and not actual characters. It’s been a problem for a while, but became appearent in season 4. 2 Link to comment

A lot of stuff that Grant and Kevin have talked about before, but there were a few things I hadn't heard. Not really any info on the new season; Grant is getting the first script and meeting with writers this week. ETA: I'm surprised that Kevin didn't drop when he's directing next; because I'm sure they've got him locked in for a Season 5 episode.

Trini June 25, 2018 Share June 25, 2018 (edited) The Flash at San Diego Comic Con: http://comiccon.thewb.com/wbsdcc-2018/ Quote SATURDAY, JULY 21 5:45–6:30 p.m. The Flash Special Video Presentation and Q&A — Matching wits with The Thinker, who by season’s end had harnessed the powers of all twelve bus metas he created, stretched Team Flash to their limits, but with the help of some new allies, Barry Allen (aka The Flash) and company were able to put a stop to the Enlightenment and save Central City once again. However, with the arrival of Barry and Iris’ speedster daughter, Nora, who arrived from the future admitting to having made a “big mistake,” things are anything but status quo. Will parenthood be the challenge that finally slows The Flash down? For answers to this, and all your other Season five questions, please join the cast and creators of The CW’s highest-rated series – stars Grant Gustin, Jesse L. Martin, Tom Cavanagh, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Hartley Sawyer, Jessica Parker Kennedy, Danielle Nicolet and executive producer Todd Helbing – at their annual Comic-Con panel.... Ballroom 20 Things could change by July 21, but that's a lot of people scheduled to appear! I think it's the most they've had for Comic Con. Then again, it's the largest cast of regulars the show has had ever. Edited June 26, 2018 by Trini 1 Link to comment
