9. Patty Spivot Returns

Patty Spivot was Barry's major love interest for the first half of Season 2, and a victim of some of the poor writing that plagued parts of the season. A lot of fans weren't keen on Patty, but Shantel VanSanten put in a winning performance and had an easy chemistry with Grant Gustin. Unfortunately, the writers insisted on having Barry lie to her to a baffling extent, which meant her place in the show was difficult to maintain, and eventually she was on her way out.

So, could she come back? Well, the producers have said she was deliberately left alive, and VanSanten herself has recently teased the possibility. Given the door was never completely closed on her character, I think it's very likely we'll be seeing more of Patty during The Flash's third season - either as a result of Flashpoint, or the character coming back into Barry's life for a different reason.
