"The Flash" Season 3 bears the biggest Flashpoint storyline that might affect other DC themed TV series, like "Arrow," "Legends of Tomorrow" and "Supergirl." As Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) tried to save his mother and to unite his family, he unintentionally opened a portal that would change and affect the world.
The Flash To Pay The Price Of His Happiness?
The recent teasers for "The Flash" Season 3 revealed that Barry Allen's family are now happily back together. Also, Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes) is now seen enjoying his riches, but everything that they are now taking pleasure in will take its toll on them. In fact, it now starts as The Flash himself now forgets how to live his life as he seems to forget everything about his past, as per Screen Rant.
Moreover, there are swirling rumors that Francine West (Vanessa A. Williams), the mother of Iris (Candice Patton), might be brought to life in "The Flash" Season 3. This issue was addressed by the show's co-showrunner Todd Helbing as he hinted that fans are about to see returning characters. "There are different characters that you will see, some [that have] passed," the screenwriter teased.
The 'Could Have Been' Of 'The Flash'
Moreover, "The Flash" Season 3 could have been not what it is today if these changes are made in the very beginning. However, these are only small alterations and not really important, Den of Geek reported. At the recent Heroes and Villains fest, from The Arrowverse blog, it was revealed that the show's first villain could've been The Mist and Caitlin could've been seen a little older.
Also, Hartley "Pied Piper" Rathaway almost made it be part of The Flash's team. Rick Cosnett, too, should have played a different role, Jay Garrick, instead of being Detective Eddie Thawne. "They thought I was going to be Jay Garrick for the pilot, but I guess they changed their minds," he said at the event. "The Flash" Season 3 will return on Oct. 4 on The CW.
