The Flash (Grant Gustin) may be the fastest man alive but he surely won’t escape the eyes of the public, especially because of all the heroics he has done for the people. Will his identity be revealed? It won’t be surprising to see Barry Allen’s alter-ego make it to headlines of Starling City newspaper. One person who will have great interest on him is someone very familiar, the apple of his eyes, Iris West.
“In the comic books, [Iris] is a famous, award-winning journalist, so we’re really seeing her from the ground up. As the season progresses, we’re going to see her take journalism to heart and that’s really going to be her beginning,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told the Entertainment Weekly.
“For Iris (played by Candice Patton), The Flash appearing and her interest in it—which you’ll find out more about why that’s happening—it’s really changed the course of her life too, and it’s really what sets her on the path of becoming the ultimate comic book character.”
Will Iris West get in the way? Will her curiosity slow down the Barry? Just like in many superhero stories, the protagonist always finds himself in terrible situation if it is someone he loves that is in danger. That is something fans will know once further The Flash TV series spoilers are released. As for the writers, they want to keep Iris in the dark when it comes to Barry Allen’s superhero gig.
“It’s going to create all sorts of problems, because… Joe [Jesse L. Martin] wants Iris not to know more than anything in the world, and Barry’s dying to tell her,” Kreisberg says. “It’s going to lead to some heartbreaking things that are going to happen early on and also some hilariously funny things that happen early on.”
