I’m excited about it.”

So obviously it’s a loss, but it did make for some great storytelling, in my opinion.
Are you relieved you only have to play one character now after pulling double duty for so many years?
Did you take any of her wardrobe or accessories home from set?
Maybe I should have.
Maybe I’ll regret that.
What are you going to miss most about playing Frost?
She was a little fearless, so I will miss that.
What was it like reuniting with Robbie in such a different dynamic these last few episodes?
It was great to have Robbie back.
Personally, it’s a joy to work with him.
I think he knew from the beginning that the fans were going to be pretty unhappy with him.
And he did such a great job.
We have to talk about that final scene when Caitlin breaks down.
What was it like filming that moment?
I think it just made sense.
The script they gave me had such good material and grief is such a complicated thing.
I think it made sense for her to have this release.
How did you get into the moment to film that scene?
I’m an actor; that’s my job.
It’s a combination of things.
She’s lost a lot and has to lose someone so important to her.
It is pretty devastating.
How is she going to be handling losing her sister moving forward?
There’s all the different stages of grief, denial, anger, bargaining.
Now that Deathstorm is gone, what’s next for Caitlin and Team Flash?
As we close up graphic novel No.
2, there’s a little bit of an interlude before they head into graphic novel No.
3, and you will see a little bit less of Caitlin.
But by the end of the season, you’ll see where Caitlin is headed.
And there’s a big cliffhanger at the finale.
Of course, you would expect nothing less.
What was it like getting to direct another episode?
Every episode has had its own flavor.
This was a new one for me.
What can we expect to see from that episode?
I’m most excited for fans to see Kayla’s performance.
This season’s finale is going to be huge.
There’s a lot of returning faces, familiar faces, which is always fun to have.
It’ll be an interesting end of the season.
It’s a doozy, for sure.
The Flashairs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CW.
