Press day on The Flash set: Candice Patton answers question on whether Iris West is still a reporter: “…In my mind, I will always say yes. I love Iris as a reporter. I will always hold out hope that we’ll see a future version of that on the show because that’s inately, I think, who that character is….So I just like to think that right now she’s helping out Team Flash in a way that [it] needs to be helped, and, eventually, she’ll get back to reporting about all the stuff going on in Central City”
Candice Patton at the Fan Favorites Panel at San Diego Comic Con 2019.Fan Feedback: After [Candice’s] casting as Iris, we have seen more black women be cast in race-bent, leading lady roles. Despite the racism that she continues to combat, Candice’s performance as Iris has been trail-blazing. Did she realize to the extent which her performance and character would become so important to opening up doors for other talented, amazing black women when she was cast?
Grant then: I saw her and instantly said that’s her! That’s Iris (:
Grant now: what tHE FUCK??? Barry will not, has not, and does not love anyone other than IRIS WEST-ALLEN. Candice Patton!!! She is beautiful!!! Barry loving someone else??? Not in this economy, you trick ass bitch.
hartleysawyer Took this one at #sdcc - “Candice, let’s each make a face like we just smelled a heinous fart.” This is our artistic interpretation of that thought. Plus my pit stains for days. @candicepatton All new @cwtheflash tonight - great Dibs and Iris stuff!!
