Barry and his old fling Patty might be seeing each other again on "The Flash" Season 3.
Shippers of Barry Allen and Patty Spivot now have something to look forward to on "The Flash" Season 3. While there's been no news about the scarlet speedster's lovelife, it seems that this latest development could mean a potential reunion for the duo. In an interview with Monkeys Fighting Robots, Patty's portrayer, Shantel VanSanten has revealed that there is a "very strong" possibility that she will return on the DC series' new installment.
While fans have yet to find out how Patty will figure into Season 3's timeline, the actress' words can be a good starting point for speculations. Although Barry made it clear with Iris that he is not ready for a serious relationship, Patty's return on Central City could go in any direction. Like any other love triangles, it's still a possibility that Barry would maintain a flirty relationship with the CSI agent.
"The Flash" Season 3 will open with the buzzy Flashpoint storyline. According to the plot synopsis, the season premiere will find Barry living his dream life in an alternate universe. However, things will turn for the worse when the Reverse Flash warns him about the consequences of forgetting about his old life. Subsequently, his powers will also start to fade along with his memories.
When a disaster strikes, the final act will see Barry deciding if he wants to resume living powerless or return to his old life as The Flash.
"The Flash" Season 3 premieres on Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 8PM on the CW.
