Shantel VanSanten, best known for her role on another CW series, One Tree Hill, will be playing the comics character Patty Spivot. She's a police officer and a good friend of Barry's, who is interested in being more than that until she realises his infatuation with Iris. 

That may be something of a difference this time around, as she's very much being billed as being part of his love life. She's also well aware of metahumans, and according to the official description of her character is "obsessed" with them. Despite this she has no idea that Barry is actually The Flash. Obviously. 

She's not the only one who may be vying for Barry's affections though, as it has also been confirmed that Malese Jow will return as Central Picture News Reporter Linda Parker, who enjoyed a few dates with him last season.
