Candice Patton Dishes on What To Expect When 'The Flash' Returns This Week

Candice Patton is opening up about what fans can expect to see on The Flash as it returns from its’ winter break on The CW.

Speaking with Popsugar, the 30-year-old actress revealed that all the focus is still on family.

“Everyone’s on their own journey,” Patton explained. “This season is really about family and legacy and everyone’s trying to come to terms with that in their own way.”

Candice continues, saying that Barry and Iris are more focused on Nora and their own family unit.

“It was shocking for both Barry and Iris to see their future daughter as an adult,” she shared. “But I think it’s helped their relationship, knowing they have a chance at a very stable future.”

She adds, “That was always Barry’s worry: as a superhero, can you really have it all? The wife, the house, and children? I think Nora’s presence is an indication that his future does hold all those things.”

But things are just a bit complicated because Nora is fighting side by side with Barry.

“He’s got his daughter from the future who’s trapped there, and he’s fighting for her in a way that he’s never fought for himself,” Candice says. “Going into the rest of the season, he’s going to be dealing with that even more — Iris as well. They have something outside of themselves to fight for now.”

The Flash returns TOMORROW, January 15th on The CW.
