“Death” In Flash Is Never A Guarantee Says Producer
The recent return of Flash brought an important “death” that many fans are still reeling from. Ronnie Raymond, aka Firestorm, was “killed off” in the early parts of the Flash Season 2 premiere. However, speaking with Entertainment Weekly, producer Andrew Kriesberg revealed that Ronnie may not be gone long…and that death is never a certain thing:
“Well, you’re never really dead when you’re on The Flash, a TV show where there are universes and time travel,” Kreisberg admitted. “He was, in fact, killed in that moment, but that doesn’t mean that we’ve seen the last of Robbie Amell on this show. Certainly, Greg [Berlanti], Robbie and I all hope to work together onThe Flash again.”
He went on to note why the decision to do this to Ronnie was made, even though many knew/felt that it wasn’t the last we see of him, especially given his upcoming role in Legends of Tomorrow.
“Ronnie’s death has a major impact on all the characters, Barry, Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker), Professor Stein,” Kreisberg said. “It also gave us a lot of our storytelling as we move forward. Everyone knows there’s a second spin-off coming with Legends of Tomorrow. They know the Firestorm legacy is far from over, so it just gave us a lot of rich storytelling to pursue.”
