The Flash in the Media

So according to this, all the regular cast except Jesse and Danielle Nicolet are attending Comic Con.

Tom’s appearance is now up in the air. Journalists who received round table information said that Tom isn’t on the list. Maybe he’s not coming or he’s just doing part of the day?

CW is also not bringing down all of the cast members from Riverdale, Arrow, or Lot. I think Supergirl is bringing the whole cast.

[Velocity23]

Or this is just the names that will be at this specific interview.

Last year (and most years?) Tom did pretty much everything that involved the whole cast, so it would be unusual for him to come all the way to San Diego and only do a select few things.

Also, they should hire that photographer who did those EW portraits to do promo photos for the show. C'mon, what's it going to take to get new cast photos for your #1 show, CW/WB/DC?

[Trini]

Grant confirmed to attend the Teen Choice Awards on August 11.

That’s possible, but still weird. As @Trini mentioned, Tom tends to attend the whole day. He’s the only actor who hasn’t stepped foot on set yet. Leanne gets her list well before the other journalists for the round tables get the list, so changes may have happened. We will know for sure on Saturday!

But this was for the ET interviews. Maybe he is filming late on Friday night. And might not make this specific interview. It is one of the first interviews right after Arrow.

That EW photoshoots were fantastically done, I’m still in awe. The thing that sucks about the network when it comes to promo pictures is that they don’t do cast photoshoots, I mean look at something like Agents of Shield or other big network shows, they almost always have new solo and group promo pictures. 

[SimoneS]

I still think that the suit sucks.

Ah so the CW bought him the award again. I wonder if they bought it for Melissa too.

Grant has like 3 surfboards already; Candice needs to win one!

Comics Come to Life sizzle reel:

[scarynikki12]

Candice was on the Fan Favorites panel and spoke about how much it means to her to have played a part in the increase of women of color getting more, and better, roles than before she was cast. She also said she loves journalism stories for Iris in part because it keeps her inside and away from Vancouver cold nights.

Thanks for the info!

I've looked up some tweets. 

There's a lot more that was said than this (and already some videos floating around), but I'm just quickly posting some of the tweets

Nice that there was appreciation of Candice's work and acknowledgement of the racist hate and bullying that she has endured over the years.

I don't like Candice's outfit. That haircut makes TC look 10 years younger.

I do think the cast is loving having Eric as their showrunner. Last year Carlos sat next to the producers and was totally disengaged when not answering questions. This year he had the same seat and was having fun from start to finish. The whole cast was more engaged than last year. The show quality may not improve but, for now at least, the work environment looks to have improved significantly. 

[Trini]

Carlos does seem to be in a better mood this year, and seemed more positive about Cisco. So it gives me a tiny bit of hope for him this season, even though I still hate that they took away his powers.

And unlike previous years, Candice actually had talking points for Iris and her journalism career, so that's a big change; as well as compliments for the showrunner.

@Trini Thank you for finding all these info and posting it for us.

It looks like the cast didn't get to do the IMDB Boat with Kevin Smith, was looking forward to that.  😞

I still don't like Candice's outfit, but her legs look amazing. I don't think I ever was able to walk in heels that high.

What is up with Grant's shirt? That was not a good idea.

I hope that you all are right about the indications that there are good things ahead for Cisco.

[DearEvette]

Yeah, not a huge fan of the outfit.  But the head styling and the legs/shoes are to die for.  And actually the hair/shades elevate the outfit.

[catrice2]

I've always felt there is an underlying tension between Grant and Candice....cannot put my finger on it...

[BaggythePanther]

Every year at SDCC Grant looks like just rolled out of bed. At least this year I was amused because Barry was the name on his uniform shirt.

[SimoneS]

Not sure what I think about Candice's dress, but she looks pretty.

It always annoys me that the women are always dressed up, while the men are in tees. At least Carlos made an effort this year.

[Trini]

It's their own fault for repeating the same tropes, but this was still funny:

In the last couple of years some women had started dressing down a little, wearing pants or jeans. But this year all the women were back in dresses. I swear there must be a dress code.

 I love that TV Insider picture of Grant and Candice. They just seem so relaxed.

[Trini]

Ha! Both Flash ladies dressed on-brand, amirite?

[Starry]

I actually like Grant's rolled-out-of-bed look. Not sure about Candice's dress from the party ( and I hate the shoes ) but I like her look at the actual con.

The new showrunner seems so passionate and enthusiastic about what he's doing I bet it rubs off the cast. Last year I could tell Helbing didn't care about the story and was going through the motions by trying to hit certain plot points. I also suspect he was appealing to certain sections of the fandom but that's just me. I think a showrunner's energy or lack thereof has an impact on the writers room and cast's morale. Happy showrunner. Happy writers and cast. Happy fandom.
