We should have known that everything going wrong onThe Flashthis season is all Eobard Thawne’s fault.

And his first order of business as a supervillain back from the dead?

Killing Iris (Candice Patton).

Yeah, things aren’t looking great for Team Flash heading into next week’sseason 8 finale.

Not going to lie, I really thought that was the end for you!

There’s no finality to it.

“The Flashdoes a solid job of that.

That’s a perfect timeline moment.

I should know that by now, especially with your characters, but this one really had me fooled.

What was it like for you bringing Thawne’s death scene to life?

Eobard Thawne is really the reason for me to do this show.

What was your reaction to seeing your desiccated corpse?

That was so gruesome.

That was a lot of fun.

It wasn’t as macabre as you might think.

Did you take a selfie with your corpse?

[Laughs] I’m not going to tweet [it].

Can you shed some light on that?

I would not say the same thing for Barry Allen, but neither is the Flash.

How is this Thawne going to be different from what we’ve seen from you before?

You’ll just have to watch.

The lovely thing about this is you didn’t see that moment coming.

It’s a funny thing.

We’ve had an iteration of that line every season.

The Flashairs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CW.
