The Flash: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best
18. Patty Spivot
Introduced in the second season as another non-Iris love interest for Barry, Patty Spivot proved to be an unexpected gem. Her goofy personality and subsequent ability to laugh at herself made her a joy to watch on-screen, and this ended up making her relationship with Barry a lot more enjoyable than anyone initially anticipated it to be.
However, Patty's greatest strength lay outside of that as, tired of being lied to, she single-handedly managed to investigate everyone around her and eventually deduced that her loving boyfriend was indeed The Flash. It's a shame that Barry continued to lie to her because, despite his noble intentions, she deserved much better than that - and it brought about a sad end to an otherwise happy stint for the character.
Also, Shantel VanSanten did a fantastic job effortlessly bringing Patty's energetic approach to life.
