Okay okay, he’s not Flash yet, but he will be, and that’s what Arrow Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg calls character Barry Allen, played by Grant Gustin, in the Producer’s Preview we have for you below. We also have a clip that includes some of what you’ll see in the featurette, but stay with it, there’s more.

Yes, this week’s new episode of Arrow is the one in which we meet Barry Allen, and he’ll be back next week as well, in both episodes of the two-part midseason finale.
