Now that we’ve met the Black Canary, the next major superhero appearance we’re waiting for is the Flash/Dr. Barry Allen (Grant Gustin).
If you’re one of those "Arrow" fans that happen to be both waiting for The Flash and you’re also an ‘Olicity' fan—you’re about to get really conflicted.
Colton Haynes, who plays Roy Harper, recently told Entertainment Weekly’s Sandra Gonzalez that fans should watch out for Dr. Barry Allen and Felicity.
“I know his chemistry with Emily [Rickards] is electric,” Haynes said. “Olicity shippers are going to be in for a little rude awakening this season. I don’t know if they’re going to get what they want.”
This season we’ve gotten our usual bit of flirtatious sparks between Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards). (There was the time he saved her on the island and landed on top of her. There was also her comment about watching him do the really cool pull-up things.) Although something could happen between them, it seems Felicity and Oliver won't be getting together anytime soon.
According to TVGuide.com, we aren’t going to see The Flash until Episode 8. He will appear in the following episode and then come back later in Episode 20, which will act as the back door pilot to the potential spinoff about The Flash.
Gustin recently discussed his role, giving fans information on when they can see him with powers.
"We're going to be Barry Allen first in two episodes and then he'll come back later as The Flash,” he told EOnline. “I haven't actually had a chance to read any scripts yet, so we'll see."
The former Glee actor also talked about some of the powers The Flash possesses that fans may not know about. (At least I didn’t.)
"I didn't realize before I started doing all my research that he can actually time travel, he can run so fast," Gustin said. "I think that'd be a really fun thing to play with on the show is him kind of going to different times and experimenting with that. That'd be fun."
“Arrow” airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on The CW.
