Arrow’s Felicity Smoak To Appear In Flash Episode 4 “Going Rogue”
Emily Bett Rickards will be guest starring on The Flash.
A fan favorite character with a tie to Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen will be appearing in the fourth episode of The Flash.
Not only will that episode welcome Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold; it will also feature a guest appearance by Emily Bett Rickards as Felicity Smoak, her character from Arrow.
“Barry had a big impact on those characters when he came on, and then subsequently, there was some discussion about what had happened to him, and then bringing Carlos [Valdes] and Danielle [Panabaker] onto Arrow… it would have been wrong to not deal with a lot of those emotions, especially since I think that as much as there are ‘Olicity’ fans, there were ‘Baricity’ fans, so we really wanted to address that,” Andrew Kreisberg told us today in a one-on-one interview at the press tour.
Kreisberg promises us it’s not a gimmick. “It’s an episode where Barry’s beginning to question his teammates, and Felicity coming along is not just to reconnect with him; it actually serves a grander purpose, which is that Felicity is somebody who knows how difficult it is to have teammates who are fighting crime. So, she’s there to offer some sage advice, both to Barry and to to Caitlin, Cisco, and Wells. So we’re really excited,” he says.
The title of the episode is “Going Rogue” and we are assuming it will air October 28 on The CW.

Flash Missing: Vanishes In Crisis, April 25, 2024
The “Flash Missing: Vanishes in Crisis” headline in the Flash TV series pilot was dated April 25, 2024.
While events of the series would ultimately speed up the timeline, Flash fans surely remember the final moments of the pilot episode of the Grant Gustin-led series where we see a Central City Citizen newspaper graphic announcing “Flash Missing, Vanishes In Crisis.” The date of that article? April 25, 2024.
Which happens to be… today.
When The Flash premiered in 2014, one might have expected that April 25, 2024 might be the right time for the final episode of a 10-year run… of course, as we saw, the Crisis happened a few years earlier, The Flash ended in 2023 instead, and it all might have been a good thing, considering how strikes and pandemics got in the show’s way. Still, it’s fun to think about, and it’s fun to remember that fantastic rush we had after the end of watching such an excellent premiere. And hey – not only did we get nine seasons of the show, but we also had a bad Flash movie that the series was far superior to, even in its worst moments. Win-win!
Ride the lightning, everyone.

The Flash TV series starring John Wesley Shipp is coming to Blu-ray on June 14.
Some very exciting news came today courtesy of the Warner Archive… the 1990 Flash TV series starring John Wesley Shipp is coming to Blu-ray!
The six-disc set is expected to release on June 14 from the Warner Archive Collection and it will contain the entire first season with new 2024 1080p HD masters from 4K scans of the original camera negatives. Here’s how the set is described; the box art can be seen below. Currently, a pre-order link is not yet up for the set, but keep your eyes open! Hopefully, this means we’ll get remasters on other classic series in the future.
Who-o-o-o-osh! The origins and exploits of the crimefighting DC Comics superhero come your way in this 22-episode live-action series, from the 1990-91 television season. John Wesley Shipp portrays Barry Allen, a police crime technologist endowed with sudden talents after a fluke lab accident. He pledges to use his new powers for good, powers that include ultra-speed reflexes and the ability to vibrate his molecules so rapidly he can pass through solid walls. Amanda Pays is medical researcher Tina McGee, who monitors Allen’s accelerated metabolism and guards his secret identity. The Tricksters, Captain Cold, the Ghost, mad inventors: Central City is rife with criminals. Now there’s a hero to keep pace with them. He’s called The Flash. And in our era of instant communications, he’s more in step with the times than ever.

Virtue: The CW Developing Cecile-Focused Flash Spinoff [APRIL FOOL 2024]
The CW is plotting a spinoff for a major character from The Flash.
DISCLAIMER: This was the FlashTVNews April Fool’s post of 2024. The “news” in this article is not true or factual.
The seal has been broken and Earth-Prime may not be dead after all.
Late tonight, Deadline Weekly revealed that Warner Bros. Television and writers associated with The Flash have landed a deal for Virtue, a series focused on the Cecile character from The Flash as played by Danielle Nicolet. Nicolet is expected to reprise her role in the series, which will take place several years after the events of the Flash finale.
Jesse L. Martin is not expected to be a part of the series as he has prior commitments to The Irrational on NBC. Intel from the studio reveals that some characters fans have been itching to see again — such as Chester, Allegra, Khione, Chillblaine, and Arrow’s Raisa the Maid — might show up in some capacity. In keeping with the current CW lineup, the new show will pair Cecile Horton with a cop to solve crimes — but, of course, that cop will sadly not be Joe.
The official logline for Virtue suggests that Cecile will be a single mother who balances her superpowers and law background with solving crimes and being a mom. She will also reconnect with her daughter Joanie from whom she has been estranged for several years, and it’s expected that the Joanie character may be recast. Many thought The CW was out of the superhero business, but the producers’ pitch showed that her mental-based powers could make the show easier and more affordable to produce on a TV budget. It is expected that some of Cecile’s “level up” powers from Season 9 of The Flash will be toned down, and it is said that another reason Virtue has an advantage is that it doesn’t conflict with James Gunn’s ideas for the upcoming DC Studios movie universe.
No specific writers have been named for Virtue so far, aside from the notion that they worked on The Flash. Additionally, the Deadline Weekly article confirms that neither Grant Gustin nor Candice Patton are expected to show up on the series.
We will keep people updated on Virtue here at FlashTVNews under a special “Virtue TV News” icon; though if you’d like to visit our dedicated Twitter feed for the project, you can find it here.

“I think that as much as there are ‘Olicity’ fans, there were ‘Baricity’ fans, so we really wanted to address that”
Haha, doubt that, considering 95% of Arrow’s fanbase is Olicity pro.

I’m excited to see this united DCTV universe come to life. I’m particularly pleased that Felicity will bring a strong connection between both shows and look forward to her continuing existing relationships with Barry, Cisco and Caitlin as well as possbily developing relationships with Iris and others.

So happy Felicity’s coming on Flash for an episode, she’s my favourite from Arrow. Glad they’re not pursuing anything romantic between her and Barry. Both have enough love interests on their own.

I for one am really excited that Felicity will be on Flash. There’s no one better to give some advice on how to deal with stubborn superheroes than her. On Arrow, one of the main reasons Oliver Queen is the hero he is today is Felicity Smoak. Her faith and belief in him is something that Oliver values above all else. Then there’s the fact that she never takes Oliver’s BS. So, she can definitely give some pointers to Caitlin, Cisco & Wells on how to reign in cocky, stubborn superheroes.
I’m thinking Barry’s gonna be acting more crazier and taking more risks than Oliver. Ya know, since he’d probably think he is invulnerable. That means ‘Team Flash’ will need lots of advice from somebody who has more than enough experience in that department. Somebody like Felicity Smoak. This is so exciting. I can’t wait to see Felicity interacting with Caitlin & Cisco. Loved it when they popped up in Arrow. This Fall’s gonna be one crazy season filled with all my favorite heroes. YAY!!

I’m really optimistic about this show after seeing the leaked pilot. It looks like they’re setting up all the most iconic flash villains which could eventually lead to a rogues rebellion type story?

I can’t wait to see Captain Cold. I also want to see Felicity teach Team S.T.A.R. Labs how to work as a group with a team that fights crime.
I also can’t wait for the two hour crossover during the 8th episodes of the season. That is one episode before the Mid-Season finale.

Weird, I thought I posted a comment here! I am very excited that Emily Bett will be crossing over to the Flash! She is the absolute best thing to happen to Arrow. And as much I loved the premise of the show, Felicity and Diggle make this show happen and without them I would probably not stick around. Thanks for the article and wonderful news!
Do you know if Felicity will be crossing over for episode 8 as well?

Cool news I guess, but I hope she wont be taking too much screen-time and focus from the regular characters of The Flash. Barry, Cisco, Iris, Caitlin, Dr Wells, already love them, want to see them getting more developed
