Trini February 1, 2019 Share February 1, 2019 Comments from the CW president about the DC shows: Quote With all five DC Comics-inspired dramas already renewed for next season and its Ruby Rose-led Batwoman pilot fully expected to go to series, Pedowitz still believes there's room for more. "We haven't hit that saturation point," he said, noting that the network has yet to decide if all six dramas would be on the air concurrently. With Arrow renewed for its eighth season, Pedowitz is aware that some of the Greg Berlanti-produced DC shows are starting to show signs of age. "Things will age and we want to get the next generation of shows to keep The CW DC universe going for as long as possible," he said. Decisions about final seasons of any of The CW's fare — including Arrow — will likely come around May's upfront presentations to ad buyers. Looking ahead, Pedowitz previewed that the next DC crossover will be the "biggest and most complicated" one the shows have done thus far. Speaking with reporters after his time onstage, the exec said it's highly likely that the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover would feature a character death — which may be a remix of its comic book source material. Quote The CW has seen the Netflix bump first-hand with series including Riverdale, Jane and The Flash all experiencing season-over-season growth after previous seasons hit the streamer. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/cw-boss-next-generation-dc-shows-future-all-american-1181775 1 Link to comment
SimoneS February 1, 2019 Share February 1, 2019 1 hour ago, ruby24 said: Unless you're talking about Tom Cavanagh, that's not this cast at all though. None of them have kids, and when the show started they were all unmarried and in their twenties (they're still in their twenties, or only just hitting 30). They just didn't bond the way young casts usually do on these shows, which is kind of interesting. I feel like that must have been part of the reason Grant Gustin raced off to get married so young (and fast) to someone he just met, because the bond between the cast just wasn't as tight up there and made him lonely or something. I know that some of these casts claim to become "good friends," but a few photos on social media or attending publicity/money-making events to keep the fans happy is not evidence of bonding, IMO. Maybe The Flash cast not faking it contributes to its success as the highest rated show in the Arrowverse. 27 minutes ago, Trini said: Comments from the CW president about the DC shows: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/cw-boss-next-generation-dc-shows-future-all-american-1181775 Considering how cheap these shows are for the CW, they will be living off them for decades. I can't imagine any of the leads dying permanently during the crossover so if a character does die it will likely be a supporting character DC doesn't mind dumping. 3 Link to comment

Trini February 15, 2019 Share February 15, 2019 Nicholas Gonzalez talks a little bit about his role on The Flash: Quote Getting to play Cisco’s brother Dante was a dream role for Gonzalez, who grew up collecting comic books. “My brother used to collect The Flash and I was into Spider-Man, but I’ve always been into comics, and I just think they did such a good job [adapting] this one,” he says. “The Ramon Brothers — or the Ramons, as we called them — was a fun dynamic and people liked watching them.” His character died off screen, but as far as Gonzalez is concerned, he could still be alive… on another Earth. “I’d love to go back to that. I had a really good time filming and just love the connection that Carlos Valdes and I have.” Ugh -- they never should have killed off Cisco's ONE relative. But Gonzalez has a good role on The Good Doctor, now. 1 Link to comment

Ok; I was just thinking that we've seen parents be a part of a plot before besides Henry and Nora; currently, Thomas and Carla Snow (Cait's parents) are parts of her SL. I just wish Cisco's life was more fleshed out in a similar way. 2 Link to comment

Nice. About time. Someone needs to tweet this to Candice. She should be proud that DC considers her portrayal of Iris to be a success despite the attacks and doubts that she has had to endure. I have to think when The Flash movie is eventually released that we will be seeing Iris being portrayed as African American in more Flash comics. 3 Link to comment

I am thrilled for Candice and all the Black girls seeing themselves for the first time in The Flash comics. It should be noted that this Flash story is written by Gail Simone, one of the stronger DC writers and the art is by Clayton Henry, one of the most talented comicbook artists and is African American. DC choosing Simone and Henry to do this groundbreaking comic is a huge compliment. I looked for the comic at Walmart, no luck. These DC Giant comics are exclusive to Walmart, but not all of them carry them. Edited February 18, 2019 by SimoneS 3 Link to comment

adora721 February 24, 2019 Share February 24, 2019 (edited) So, more grist for the rumor mill about another cast member, in addition to Carlos, possibly leaving. Not sure how reliable this website is, but here's the quote: "This time, our source tells us that Danielle Panabaker might be vacating the series, thereby saying goodbye to her dual role as Dr. Caitlin Snow and her icy alter ego Killer Frost. Though they can’t say for sure when this would be happening other than that it’d be “soon,” the reason for her potential exit is that the actress is hoping to move on to other projects. She’s already appeared in the odd movie or guest spot on a TV show over the past few years, but obviously The Flash is a big commitment that takes up a lot of time. It should be noted that Panabaker’s exit is much less certain than Valdes’ at this stage, as our source informs us that it’s not a done deal yet and could even be a bargaining tactic for a pay rise. Then again, it’s also possible that Panabaker was inspired to move on after Valdes first made the decision. Hopefully the actor hasn’t started a domino effect of multiple Flash stars bowing out of the show." On another note about Carlos being missing from too many episodes just for the short film he made with Melissa Benoist, there's a different article ,dated 2/11/19, that states that Carlos is filming "Knives Out", a Rian Johnson (director of "SW: The Last Jedi") movie. "Valdes is also branching out into film and is currently shooting the mystery ‘Knives Out’ which stars Toni Collette, Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Evans, and Don Johnson." If true, that's a great cast to be among for Carlos. Edited February 24, 2019 by adora721 1 Link to comment

I can see how that's possible. However, I can also imagine DP leaving if Carlos leaves because Carlos is her best acting partner and Cisco is Caitlin's anchor and number one supporter. Who else is she that close to? Even Barry said that Cisco cares about Caitlin more than anyone else. I've believed DP was leaving since her odd behavior at last year's SDCC, but then again, Carlos also behaved oddly. Only time will tell. Edited March 1, 2019 by adora721 Link to comment
