According to The Hollywood Reporter, Malese Jow has joined the cast of The Flash as Linda Park. If that name rings a bell it is indeed because she's a character from the comic books. The official description for this version reveals that she is, "a quick-witted reporter for the Central City Picture News. She befriends Iris (Candice Patton) while at work and helps her navigate the fast-paced world of journalism. When she meets Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) at a local bar, the two hit it off and become quick friends." Jow will make her debut in the show's twelfth episode. In the comics, Park is introduced as Wally West's girlfriend and eventually becomes his wife. There has of course been talk of introducing Wally in The CW series, so fans of that Flash probably shouldn't worry too much as we could still see him and Park get together. What do you guys think?

Linda Park marries Wally West, not Barry. That being said Marlese is great. So it will be great to see her on Flash.

I'm going to refrain from the typical fan flip out because it's not sticking with the story- type reaction.. We'll have to see where it goes I guess. I have a little faith in the show.

Well, [frick] CW and [frick] this show.
I like the show but they can take all their crappy teen romance bullshit and [frick] themselves with it...

Iris is not a very interesting potential love interest for Barry. Hopefully Linda Park is a better character.

The Flash has a girlfriend and suddenly it becomes a soap opera? Really??

There is a time-travel element to The Flash so it's quite plausible that this girl has a brief fling with Barry and ends up with Wally. Either that, or they're going to stray from the comics as far as character's identities and love interests go in the same way that Arrow has (Sara Lance is Black Canary first, The entire Merlyn family situation, Thea potentially ending up as Speedy, etc.)

Not every comic book adaptation needs a love interest/woman in fridge. I'd rather see more platonic opposite-sex relationships than romantic.
