She does some research into how dangerous that really is.
Shes advocating that Joe step in and stop him from doing that.
He hasnt had this relationship with Wally in forever, so he doesnt want that to go away.
How does Wally feel about that?
It creates a friction between the two.
Theyre blood-related, but they dont really know each other.
Wallys not really interested in being told what to do by someone he barely knows.
Whats it like for her to have an actual brother?
Thats the thing, shes had a pseudo-brother, but this is really her brother.
Its a weird thing for her.
As Francines condition worsens, Iris is just more emotionally distraught than she really imagined that she would be.
She was really angry with Francine for what she did to Joe in keeping such a huge secret.
Iris was playing a big role with S.T.A.R.
Labs at the beginning of the season.
What will we see for that in the second half?
We constantly see her popping up in S.T.A.R.
The team is keeping her up to date, so shes there.
How will Iris feel about theReverse-Flash returning?
Its hard for everyone.
Reverse-Flash wasnt really kind to anyone in season 1.
Earth-1 Barry is planning totake the fightto Zoom, which is why Team Flash heads to Earth-2.
What kind of danger does that put everyone in?
Everyone is in danger.
Its quite a scary aspect.
Youll see Earth-2 Iris being affected by Zoom and Team Flash.
Those episodes are actually really great and probably my favorite that Ive shot this season.
I think fans are going to love it.
Zoom is already such an amazing character that getting to see him on Earth-2 as well is really exciting.
How different is Earth-2 Iris?
I know Iris form Earth-1 is pretty tough, but this version is really hard and tough.
Shes less emotionally penetrable than the Earth-1 version of herself, which was really cool to play.
It was really fun to play a different version.
Its nice that we have these doppelgangers and we get to play a little bit.
Does Earth-1 Iris get to meet Earth-2 Iris?
No, she doesnt.
Ill say that much.
It seems like the Earth-2 Barry Allen and Iris West are kind of close, maybe in a relationship.
Is there anything you could tease about that Earth-2 dynamic between them?
Its safe to say that there is some sort of relationship-friendship between Barry and Iris on Earth-2.
Does Earth-1 Iris worry about how far Barrys pushing himself to take on Zoom?
Yeah, Iris is always worried about Barry and how he always wants to save people.
But with that comes stress on himself.
Shes always worried about the potential danger hes putting himself in for sure.
Moving back to Earth-1, will we see Iris open herself up to romance in coming episodes?
While Iris is the No.
Iris only wants to paint The Flash in a good light.
She knows the good that he does, but Scott just doesnt believe it, so its interesting.
Is it hard for her to open herself up again after Eddies (Rick Cosnett) death?
We didnt see her rush into a new relationship.
Weve given her the time to grieve and move forward.
I think its time.
I think shes open.
I think shes ready for something new and ready to allow any possibility of love back into her life.
Are there any new developments with Iris journalism career?
Im not sure how heavy that will play in the back half of the season.
Im hoping for more of it, just like I think a lot of the fans are.
Its so prominent in the comic books.
Im sure itll come up.
She just hasnt come to the realization that she could possibly feel that way for Barry.
It was a really cool way that the writers have done it.
We know that, at some point, Iris could fall in love with Barry.
She has a conversation with Barry about telling Patty about who he is.
With Iris potentially opening her heart up again, could that lead to a realization about Barry?
Sure, I think that once the heart is open, youll be surprised by what floods in.
Whats excited you most about the episodes coming up?
The Earth-2 stuff is just so cool.
Its everything the fans will want to see.Killer Frost is coming and Deathstorm.
Just the whole Art Deco feel of Earth-2 was really cool the costumes, the hair and makeup.
I think fans will enjoy those episodes the most.
The Flashreturns Tuesday at 9 p.m.
ET on The CW.
