THE FLASH To Get A New Love Interest In Season 2; Description Compares Her To 'Felicity'

Does Felicity annoy the crap out of you on Arrow? Well, I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you! Season two of The Flash will feature a new love interest for Barry Allen, and the official character description points out that she'll basically be this show's Felicity...

Who knows what Barry Allen's life will look like when he emerges from the singularity in season two of The Flash, but regardless of any changes to the timeline, we now know that he's going to have a new love interest. It sounds like romance between Barry and Iris won't be happening just yet!

TV Line reports that The CW is cuurently looking to cast Wendy, a "spunky, fun and funny" character who is a a cop for Central City PD. She's described as bright and scientific minded, and worryingly, the casting call states that those looking at the role should "Think ‘Felicity Smoak’ from Arrow". One Felicity is arguably more than enough, but here's hoping this one cries less.

Anyway, this sounds like a newly created character for The Flash rather than anyone from the comics, but do you guys have any theories? As usual, share your thoughts in the usual place!

She's the blood expert for the CCPD in the comics and works with Barry, she makes the most sense.

I think Felicity is sweet and funny. But then, I'm not straight, so I could be way off here.

I like Laurel better than Felicity at the moment. I never thought I'd say that in my life.

Sigh.
Before I comment there is a clear difference between poorly executed writing and just laziness. And while we don't know if the new love interest will accompanied with well executed writing (I doubt it :/ ), the fact that they're using her as a Felicity replacement is LAZINESS!!!!

I feel the writers have written themselves in the corner by having her be in love with Oliver (no thanks to "Olicity"). They should just had Felicity LEAVE Team Arrow after being fed up with Oliver's bullshit. Then went to Central City as drum roll please....... the new love interest for Barry Allen. There you go writers, no Felicity-lite or any BS, just have Felicity be in Flash (which is a better show at the moment).
