Candice Patton Teases Iris' Role in Season 4 

SATURN AWARDS: Candice Patton Talks Iris West in The Flash S4

on June 30, 2017Posted in: Events, Featured, Interviews, Television

Before winning her well-deserved Best Supporting Actress award at the Saturn Awards on Wednesday night, the ethereal Candice Patton from CW’s 

stopped to chat with us about her character’s evolution next season for a literal minute. Of course, it was a minute that probably felt like an eternity to Barry Allen, who’s stuck in the Speedforce over hiatus and separated from his beloved fiancée. But how will Candice’s character, Iris West, cope without the love of her life? Check out the video below to find out more, and to marvel at what Barry’s missing while he’s in time out:

Though she couldn’t spoil much, especially as the production team is keeping Season 4 tightly under wraps, she did confirm that six months have passed since Barry’s disappearance and “we do get to see a different version of Iris.” In her view, Iris West is now “a little harder” after the losses she’s suffered and the stress of the previous season. But on the bright side for fans, it seems she’ll also be more of a leader. “She’s kind of had to step into this role as the leader of the Flash team.” With Wally still growing into his powers and Cisco struggling with when to use his, it’s surprising yet understandable that they would look to someone 

Keeping collected under pressure and weathering every kind of storm has been one of Iris’ greatest strengths this season, so we look forward to seeing her handle her most heartbreaking challenge yet. At the same time, many fans have been hoping to see her branch out in terms of her journalism career. A reporter chasing down stories about metahumans and helping the citizens fight for justice seems like just what Central City needs. Candice couldn’t confirm or deny any storytelling advancements in that area, but hopefully a shocking headline or two is lurking just around the corner for her.

Why am I not surprised by how well this article is written? You told so much with so little. It flowed. It was engaging. It made it sound like you’d been talking to Candice for much longer than you were able to with many more questions, and I loved seeing you put what you saw to print. Thank you so so much for getting this info!! I’m terrified and unbelievably excited at the same time.

I commented this on Youtube, too, but Interesting stuff! I think I’ll have to get used to a harder Iris, tbh. I’ve always loved Iris’ big heart and her compassion and how sweet she is. But I think after everything she’s been through and Barry going into the Speed Force on top of it, it’s understandable that she’d close herself off a little. Poor Iris! And I can’t help it, but I love hearing her call Barry the love of Iris’ life :)

Great article and question! I love that Candice is always so thoughtful and eloquent in her responses. Her performance in The Flash is always stellar but the range of emotions this past season, whether it was heart wrenching tears of sadness and devastation, or happy, giddy, sexy emotions delivered during Barry’s proposals & loft scenes or endearing moments with the Wally/Iris teamup or her commanding speeches to rally Barry and the team in the face of hopelessness. When we look at the whole of her performance this season; Saturn Awards made the right choice. Well deserved!!!

I’m loving this! Now I’m anticipating the show’s return even more. Iris is such a integral and key character to the Flash mythos. It’s sad that she’s separated from Barry but she’s such a power house and hero in her own right. Candice Patton is truly doing a wonderful job portraying her. Well deserved win at the Saturn Awards. Great article!
