'The Flash' Season 3 Spoilers: Grant Gustin Reveals Barry Will Keep His Optimism

The CW's DC superhero series "The Flash" will return for a third season this fall, but with everything that has happened to its protagonist Barry Allen (played by Grant Gustin), fans are concerned that the character will return in a different mental state.

In a recent interview with Comicbook.com, Gustin responded to Barry and The Flash possibly losing the optimism fans have come to expect from the character, saying:

"We won’t lose it, though, I will be adamant! I don’t know what’s going to happen in season 3, how they’re going to write it, where they’re going to go, but Berlanti and Kreisberg and Geoff – I actually don’t know how closely Geoff’s involved anymore – but all those guys know The Flash better than anybody, and they know that he has to have the optimism. His whole perspective on life is to constantly move forward with his life, and let his past be a part of it, but stay optimistic and kind of live your life."

Gustin also talked about Barry's ability to manage his past traumatic events with his optimism intact, saying:

"He lost his mom at a young age, he saw her right in front of him, then went back in time and watched it again… He’ll find a way to deal with this. He’s not going to let it ruin him. It’s going to be hard to come back from this one, but he’ll stay optimistic Barry."

Gustin further went on to talk about the Season 2 finale but did not offer any real insight into the episode saying, "There's really nothing to even say," he finally uttered after searching for the words. "We literally pick up with the exact moment that we left off in the last episode, so it's just - there's no words."

"The Flash" Season 2 finale will air Tuesday, May 24, at 8 p.m. While Season 3 of the series will continue on Tuesdays on The CW this fall.
