After being hit by a lightning, Barry develops powers, now he is protecting the city from others like him, as the mysterious known as the

7) "It will go down as one of those Hollywood fables, that the minute the casting process was over, and Patton existed the room, Gustin turned to the casting crew and said: 'That's Iris!' - which is pretty awesome!" - EDGE

"She’s the love interest of Barry Allen, who is The Flash. She’s the romantic little number in the show. She’s kind of Barry’s support. She is like the Lois Lane to Superman. She’s there for him throughout all of his mishaps during the show. She’s just kind of his rock.”- Candice Patton

“Barry and Iris are childhood best friends. He has lived with Iris and her father since they were children when his father was accused and incarcerated for killing his mother. The two are incredibly close and she knows him like the back of her hand. I describe them as each other’s
‘true north’ in this crazy world. She believes in him even when others don’t. I think we all want someone like that. Someone who roots for us, and lightens our load in this life.”
- Candice Patton

"[Iris] is the love of his life and that's not going to change, I don't think." - Grant Gustin

Hey everyone, I'm a new member of this place & a die-hard WestAllen shipper.. I registered to this Fan Forum just to be signed up with WestAllen shipping of this place..I'm on Twitter & Tumblr all day ( not technically all day considering my studies & college stuffs ) hovering over WestAllen, Candice, Grant & majorly GranDice.. I don't know how have I got myself this insanely invested over this screen-burning pair of Grant & Candice , but now I'm at some realm of shipping from where I just can't walk back..


Though it's outta my territory to define the Chemistry Grant & Candice share - but , just want to put - I got stuck by the blazing , inflamed lightning of WestAllen / GranDice chemistry just from that instant they were first shown together onscreen during that initial minutes of "The Flash"s pilot..


They are Outshining , Grant & Candice while breathing lives in the characters of Barry Allen & Iris West..It's just season 1 and we are yet to sight steamy/flowery romantic scenes , but for me - GranDice have already gone above & beyond the perfection as WestAllen..


I know , I just blabbered way too much and my lingo presentation SUCKS ( I never can emote what I feel precisely ) , but , WestAllen / GranDice are incomparable part of my life now and I cant fend myself from fluttering mindlessly about them..


being blabbered all the above blabbers, I say - SORRY for my spur of moment barging here, all these typing errors and

THANKS for putting up with my indistinct swoop of writing ..


PS- Can I be added here ? anything specific to do ? I'm just CRAZY for WestAllen ( though this phrase contempts me as hell, after the cranky episode 12 of The Flash )


Sorry , Again ...

I really need Iris to find out about Barry's secret identity now. I need to see her using her reporter skills to track down metahumans and whatnot. Also...

Welcome, CapriciousCapricorn! "GranDice"? Cute

She doesn't need to be in on the secret to track down metahumans though. She expressed an interest in Firestorm awhile back yet no real follow up on that. Now that she's working at CCPN, we could see her get in on the action by investigating other metahumans but...nothing so far. The writers have even dropped the ball with the Iris/Flash dynamic. I was expecting more from their "reunion." A lot of missed opportunities so far but *hopefully*, we'll see them delve more into Iris/Flash/metahumans, starting next episode.

I'd like for her to be in on the secret too, at least by the beginning of season 2. I have a feeling the reveal will have something to do with the season cliffhanger though, fingers crossed! The faster we get everything out in the open the sooner they'll be on their way towards coupledom. Haha.

Hey fellow Flash/WestAllen fans! Like Capricious, I am also brand new to the boards and in total agreement with the power of WestAllen. It's kind of ridiculous...I've never been this actively involved with a show or fictional couple before.

I feel like they just grabbed me and said Gotcha sucker...now suffer through every minute of angst, dramatic irony, showrunners pandering to the opposing ship, O.O.C. writing, and lack of female lead P.O.V..

And despite all better judgement...I am so here for it ALL!
