The Flash Season 2 Spoilers: Everything You Need To Know
12. A Different (And Interesting) Iris
If The Flash's debut season had one major flaw, it was with Iris West. The show's 'Iris problem' was increasingly evident as the weeks went by, as they clearly didn't know what to do with her. She was Barry's oldest friend, but he was in love with, but couldn't tell her, and she was slightly obsessed with The Flash but had no idea it was Barry, and of course she was dating the partner of Joe as well, just to complicate matters further.
Written down, it's easy to see why she so often came off as a confused character, and the fact that everyone kept lying to her was at least some explanation towards her being unlikable. Now that she knows about Barry, and is set to play a much bigger role in the team at S.T.A.R. Labs, she should be a far more interesting character as a result (there were already improvements towards the end of last year).
With being involved more with Team Flash, continuing her career as a reporter, a rival for Barry's affections on the way, and other members of the West family coming too, this should be a pretty big year for Iris.
