I would say this is the season of Flash where we’re making a conscious effort to turn Grant into The Flash from the comic book—the most confident, incredibly powerful, secure team leader.
It’s really a season for Grant to shine in a way that perhaps he hasn’t been able to shine always, and it’s very exciting.
The question is, how is that wrapped up in his romance with Iris?
[They’re] in a really great place at the end of Season 7, and that will obviously continue, but I think their biggest challenge that they’ve ever faced lies ahead, and it’s going to be tough.
