The hit Superhero TV series ‘The Flash’ surely knows how to keep its fans and followers excited on their toes as they have dished out many twists and turns for its upcoming episodes.
The next few episodes of the show will circle around the cast discovering and getting to know their Earth 2 counterparts. It is widely known by everyone that the Earth is not only when it comes to housing humans as there is Earth 2.0 where everyone is living differently than their Earth 1 self.
But what really interests and excites everyone the most is the discovery of Iris West (Candice Patton), who is a journalist at the Central City Picture News and is Barry Allen/The Flash's (Grant Gustin) best friend. But while the Earth-1 West has been the apple of Barry's eye for years, in Earth-2, the two are married and Iris is a detective working for the Central City Police Department.
It sure was a great jump for Patton’s role as a journalist in Earth 1 who is now a bad-ass detective in Earth 2. Patton recently talked to TVLine about her Earth-2 character, Detective West, and revealed that she thought the character was "awesome" and is what she had wanted for Iris all along. In the interview, the actress recalled how she reacted with disbelief when she received the first draft of the "Escape from Earth-2" script.
"I thought, this is awesome, this is everything that I have wanted for Iris." Patton said. "For me, it was one of the coolest episodes I've gotten to play with and shoot."
As for her relationship status with Barry who was his boyfriend in Earth 1 turned husband in Earth 2, she said both aspects were shocking explaining, "I mean, Barry and I, our thing has always kind of been there, we're always alluding to the possibility of that — the newspaper says we're married in the future," she said.
Find out what will happen next and how it will affect their relationship next as "The Flash" airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
