We have these idyllic moments coming up.
What would the Allen family had been like if Nora was never killed, if Henry was never convicted?
They had this idyllic life, which Barry always wanted.

So, whats it like if none of that happened and he had what he always wanted?
The larger theme being, what if we got what we say we want?
Its kind of a variation on theIts a Wonderful Lifescene.
What surprised you the most about Flashpoint?
Well, its our own version, first of all.
I cant say that anything surprised me about it.
All sorts of things have been posited as possibilities.
So thats the great thing about multiple Earths anythings possible.
What can you tease about Jay Garricks return?
Just how different Jay is.
Henrys very warm, very emotionally invested in Barry and Barrys well being.
Yeah, I look like your dad, sorry about that.
So you want to be a superhero?
In what ways would Barry go to Jay for advice?
In those moments, we see two completely different characters relating to each other.
We just started laughing sometimes, because its so different.
Well, hes real concerned about it.
Hes very concerned about the decisions that Barry is making.
We have three Flashes, dont we?
They wouldnt put us all there unless they intended for us to work together on some level going forward.
I cant say any more about that.
Im being so careful.
Is there anything it’s possible for you to say about facing off against the big bads this season?
Are we going to see Jay play a role in the crossover?
No, I think the crossover is already done.
I think I come back for the midseason finale, but no, Im not in the crossover.
We do learn more.
To answer your question, yes, we do learn more about Jay and his life on Earth-3.
What has been your favorite part about this new season?
Jay is not exactly what youd call nurturing.
Andrew Kreisberg set the template for me.
The Flashreturns Tuesday at 8 p.m.
ET on The CW.
