The Flash is back tonight for its second season premiere, and John Wesley Shipp (Henry Allen) sat down with us to chat a bit about what’s coming up.
Here’s what we learned:
- A big question going into the season is whether or not Henry will remain in prison. He said there are a few ways that could go, but was very cautious about not letting anything slip.
- Exploring Henry and Barry’s relationship when/if he gets out of prison is something he looks forward to.
- He accidentally dropped the Legends of Tomorrow title before it was released, so he’s a bit nervous that he’ll accidentally say something about the show that he shouldn’t.
- We are going to learn more about the extended Allen family in Season 2.
- Playing the two father figures angle was something he liked in the first season, and said that the writers constantly impressed him.
- Shipp really wants to get into S.T.A.R. Labs more, and have a scene with Candice (Iris).
- He’s really been able to bring his experience as TV’s first incarnation of The Flash into this show.
- With regard to Henry’s fate, he said the only thing he hopes he never sees is “Henry drops the ice cream cone” — nice Dawson’s Creek reference!
