“Tom Cavanagh is still part of the show.
I would just say that we’ve already seen there’s an infinite numbers of Wellses.
Just because they’re all dead doesn’t mean that should change.

And Tom Cavanagh has more to do in season 7 muchmore to do.”
Below, Wallace discusses Wells' fate and shares several more teases for the season ahead.

ERIC WALLACE:That’s a sub-theme.
There could be no greater way to honor and make amends than doing that.
What can we expect from them moving forward?
That’s the unfortunate truth.
Having artificial speed is only a short-term solution.
Creating an artificial one isn’t always the best solution in the long run.
It’s a temporary measure.
After she stopped laughing, she said, “That’s going to be the most fun ever!”
As far as Cisco goes, Cisco is going to face the biggest emotional challenge of his life.

It’s like we’re telling a big serialized novel.
Every “Graphic Novel” builds on the other.
It’s a direct relation, and it’s the same thing going from 3 into 4.
That’s really hard.
That’s really the story of seasons 6 and 7 when looked at as a whole.
I have to ask: Is it Zoom?
That’s why I asked!
But I love me some Zoom, and I love me some season 2.
I just haven’t figured out how yet, but I will do it.
Are you keeping with that trend in “Graphic Novel #3” and #4?
I’d say yes and no.
I think we can accurately say that.
Is there anything else you want to add?
To fans of Barry and Iris: Last year, Barry and Iris spent a lot of time apart.
It creates stories that have more of Candice and Grant together in really fun ways.
The Flashairs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CW.
