‘The Flash’ season 2 spoilers: How will Barry, Patty evolve moving forward?
The second season of “The Flash” has already featured a variety of different components already, whether it be action, drama, mystery, and of course a little bit of romance. Thanks to Barry / Iris in the first season or at times Caitlin / Ronnie, it was never too far from our characters’ minds.
So what about now Barry and Patty Spivot? They are the show’s new potential couple, and they have plenty of opportunities to spend time together. They’ll be working together, and since her job is in part to track down meta-humans, she will be in his orbit constantly … even when Barry is The Flash. Longtime CW veteran Shantel VanSanten is playing the character, and in speaking to TVLine, she made it clear that things would definitely turn romantic at some point between these two:
“We have a really, really fun date episode coming up [on Nov. 3], that Grant [Gustin] and I have both seen parts of. It’s really light-hearted and fun, their relationship. Most women, if you ask, will say they want ‘a man who makes them laugh,’ and that was the first way they really connected after she totally geeked out on him and his forensics reports. They connect through telling the same jokes and understanding each other, so moving forward there’s a lot of that — a lot of nerdiness, a lot of scientific conversations. But she and Barry also work alongside each other on crime scenes, so solving things together will bring them closer, too.”
What we imagine could make this even more complicated moving further into the future is that Patty works alongside Joe West, who just so happens to be Iris’ father. Since her feelings for Barry are buried somewhere deep, could there be some conversations between the women? We’re not writing it off at some point.
