Glad he’s doing better and coming back. Show hasn’t been the same without him.

Glad to see him return.

Carlos Valdes May Be Leaving The Flash After Season 5

Carlos Valdes May Be Leaving The Flash After Season 5

Well he's not been playing much recently anyway. Who will take his place as a techie type? Time to bring back a proper version of Wells instead of these annoying versions. Maybe the original Wells from before he was absorbed by Thawne, or Harry Wells with his intellect restored.

 

[Thome216]

Shame, I think Cisco is one of the best! Maybe they can get Winn back?!

 

[Dark Raven]

Shame, I think Cisco is one of the best! Maybe they can get Winn back?!

I don't know about that. He's off travelling in space in the future. Maybe they can bring Curtis over from Arrow since he doesn't have much to do these days, and they already have a techie with Felicity there. But they should just have Wells fill that role instead of getting these buffoon-type Wells.

Carlos Valdes May Be Leaving The Flash After Season 5

Not surprised but good for him. Other than the paychecks, there's really nothing for him (or anyone not a woman named West) on the show anymore. But I'm sure they'll have him appear at least once each season, because he and the character are that good.

 

[WhoMani]

I'm not surprised Carlos Valdes might be leaving The Flash due to the fact Cisco for the last couple of seasons hasn't gotten any interesting storyline apart from being depressed about everything and Cisco is just a comic relief background characters that constantly makes references to popular culture but that's about it.

I hope Carlos finds work after leaving The Flash as I think he's a good actor and that he deserves better material. I'm thinking about dropping The Flash for next season as season 5 so far has been uninspiring.

 

[vantheman77]

No surprise since Iris took over Star Labs. Both Supergirl and Flash have lost their tech supports.

It is also possible that Carlos’ contract may have been for 5 seasons. I hope he can stick around a little bit for Crisis.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I'm somewhat surprised he may leave but they've given him next to nothing to do this season and he seems bored. Since COIE is right around the corner they should convince him to stick around the first half of s6 and kill him in COIE since they need a big death.

Carlos Valdes May Be Leaving The Flash After Season 5

Hardly surprising considering what he's been given lately.

Well he's not been playing much recently anyway. Who will take his place as a techie type? Time to bring back a proper version of Wells instead of these annoying versions. Maybe the original Wells from before he was absorbed by Thawne, or Harry Wells with his intellect restored.

If Tom wishes to stick around, then they really do need to do this. As far as I can tell, the original Earth-1 Wells should be walking around by now anyway, what with all the timeline changes etc.

Shame, I think Cisco is one of the best! Maybe they can get Winn back?!

I doubt they'll have Winn on the Flash show. I can't remember why that actor left Supergirl, but I can't imagine him wanting to go into another full time role in another show.

I don't know about that. He's off travelling in space in the future. Maybe they can bring Curtis over from Arrow since he doesn't have much to do these days, and they already have a techie with Felicity there. But they should just have Wells fill that role instead of getting these buffoon-type Wells.

I wouldn't object to this, especially as Curtis has kinda' become boring at the moment. He's fallen into the same trap as Cisco, though if they move him from Arrow to Flash, maybe he can have a little more significance. Maybe he could even teach Barry how to fight without his powers? Curtis can (sometimes) handle himself in a fight; Barry (without powers) rarely manages that.

Not surprised but good for him. Other than the paychecks, there's really nothing for him (or anyone not a woman named West) on the show anymore. But I'm sure they'll have him appear at least once each season, because he and the character are that good.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Curtis would be so much better suited for The Flash. It would give him a challenge to deal with metal (who Arrow needs to use more)

 

[terry78]

Cisco is their meta guy but it seems Ralph has thst role now.

 

[Thome216]

I would actually rather they dropped Iris and tried to keep Cisco, if there was a choice to be given. As many have said, they've given her too much control of Cisco's Star Labs.

 

[Ninjablade]

I'm in agreement there. Unfortunate if Carlos is leaving, but I can understand why. His role in Star Labs has been basically give to Iris. Sure he's still the engineer, but they haven't seemed to want to focus on that (which given the whole meta tech thing, you think they would). Either way, the show would kind of lose something without Cisco.

Personally I think I'm done with the show. I'll keep up with the news because I'm curious as to where this Nora/Thawne thing is going and the crossover next year, but everything else has fallen off the rails for me. It doesn't have that same spark it used to. This season has been a bore and watching has been a chore. Shame because I really like some of the cast.

 

[WhoMani]

Honestly the writers should have given Star Labs to Cisco instead of Barry. It would have been interesting to see him try to make the public trust Star Labs again due to the fact it was responsible for the particle accelerator. It doesn't help that Iris took his role and the writers are more interesting in making Iris seem more important than the other supporting characters.

Personally I'm almost done with the show and I pretty much missed the last few episodes but I will try to catch up on the last few episodes later this week and watch the rest of season 5 as I wanna see what plans Thawne has for Barry. I think I won't watch the next season which is a shame as I really enjoyed the first two seasons of the The Flash but since season 3 the Flash has been 'meh'.

 

[Web-Head]

It'd be a shame to see Carlos leave, but he wants to move on and sounds like he'd be open to guest appearances in the future.

As far as using Curtis, sounds like he's leaving the "Arrowverse" as well.

 

[Reek]

so Nora is probably the worst character in history... the running scenes made me want to cut my junk off.

 

[terry78]

She's cute but she's also grating. Always a cruel irony when it comes to cute people.

 

[Reek]

shes not even cute. shes attractive visually because of black sails... cute involves some likeability. some charm. some..... schway..... and she has none of it.

 

[Dark Raven]

She is annoying. I suppose she gets that from her mother.

Why don't they just make Iris the techie now? She can suddenly gain Cisco tech skills and learn to vibe as well as also being the Flash.
