What can you tease about her dynamic with Wally?
Iris quickly finds out that Wally is involved in street racing. She does some research into how dangerous that really is. She’s advocating that Joe step in and stop him from doing that. Joe is on the side of wanting to be more of a friend to Wally in fear of losing him. He hasn’t had this relationship with Wally in forever, so he doesn’t want that to go away. You see Iris take on more of the parent role in wanting to challenge Wally and say, “Stop racing.”
How different is Earth-2 Iris?
She’s quite different. She’s similar in a lot of ways, but the way that I can say that she’s most different to Earth-1 Iris is that she’s really tough. I know Iris form Earth-1 is pretty tough, but this version is really hard and tough. She’s 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. As an actor, you end up on a series, and you think you’re going to play one character for however long. It’s nice that we have these doppelgängers and we get to play a little bit.
Does Earth-1 Iris get to meet Earth-2 Iris?
No, she doesn’t. I’ll say that much.
Are there any new developments with Iris’ journalism career?
I’m not sure how heavy that will play in the back half of the season. I’m hoping for more of it, just like I think a lot of the fans are. It’s so prominent in the comic books. Iris is this ace reporter and what that offers to The Flash, so I’m hoping for more of that. I can only imagine that we’re going to do more of that before the end of the season, but I don’t know to what degree. The introduction of Scott can definitely give fans the hope that there will be more action at Central City Picture News, for sure.
Moving back to Earth-1, will we see Iris open herself up to romance in coming episodes?
Yeah, I don’t know too much about that right now, but she does have a new editor, Scott Evans (Tone Bell), and their relationship and dynamic is quite interesting when he first meet him. He’s new, he’s brash, he’s confident, and the biggest thing is he’s not really a fan of The Flash. While Iris is the No. 1 fan for Flash, Scott Evans is quite the opposite, so there’s friction between them in the beginning. Iris only wants to paint The Flash in a good light. She knows the good that he does, but Scott just doesn’t believe it, so it’s interesting.
