“In order to facilitate this, I will continued to find Black and Brown writers, directors, actors and producers of all genders to help tell FLASH stories,” Eric continued. “Their stories are part of the American narrative, too, and must be heard.

Hartley Sawyer will no longer be on The Flash.

The 35-year-old actor has been fired from the CW series after a string of past tweets resurfaced, THR reports.

“Hartley Sawyer will not be returning for season seven of The Flash,” The CW, producers Warner Bros. TV and Berlanti Productions and executive producer Eric Wallace, said in a statement. “In regards to Mr. Sawyer‘s posts on social media, we do not tolerate derogatory remarks that target any race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, or sexual orientation. Such remarks are antithetical to our values and polices, which strive and evolve to promote a safe, inclusive and productive environment for our workforce.”

The tweets resurfaced in the past couple of tweets and many fans and non fans called him out, causing him to delete his Twitter account entirely. He has since issued an apology, posted on his Instagram account. See it here!

Hartley was promoted to series regular on the show back in 2018 ahead of the show’s fifth season.

The CW has just announced when all of your favorite shows will be coming back!

The network unveiled the schedule for the Fall 2020/2021 season, which will actually kick off in January 2021, Deadline reports.

CW President Mark Pedowitz shared that the late start won’t affect the number of episodes, and the episodes that weren’t able to be filmed due to productions being shut down, will be filmed and included in the new seasons.

Most shows will continue with the same dates and times, with a few changes.

New shows Superman & Lois and Walker have been inserted into the schedule. Superman & Lois will air on Tuesday nights after The Flash, and Walker has taken over Supernatural‘s Thursday night time slot.

Another notable change is Charmed, which will move from Friday nights back to it’s original Sunday nights, taking the place of Supergirl, which is being put on hold, likely due to Melissa Benoist‘s pregnancy.

Supernatural‘s final episodes will also be filmed and those will air this fall in it’s regular time slot, Thursday night at 8/7c.

No word yet on when just announced Kung Fu and Republic of Sarah will air.

Candice Patton is opening up about the season six finale of The Flash!

The show’s finale was moved up a few episodes like many other shows, due to the pandemic shutting down production.

Candice recently opened up about the final episode, “Success Is Assured”.

“I mean, it’s bittersweet I think for everyone. I think the writers, and the actors, and the crew, and everyone involved saw what it was going to end like and, obviously, that’s the version we wanted to give to the fans who love this show,” she told ET. “But just given the current global situation, that’s impossible — so we kind of have to do the best with what we’ve got.”

“Fortunately our show, kind of, always ends on a cliffhanger. I have no idea actually how they plan to kind of tie it up with a bow — that’s thankfully something I don’t have to deal with — but it’s hard,” Candice continued. “It’s not how we intended it to be, but we’re gonna make the best of it. And I think, hopefully, the intention is to come back and resolve the story and pick up season 7 resolving everything that’s happened in season 6.”

In the finale, Barry (Grant Gustin) considers a risky plan to save Iris (Patton) from the Mirrorverse.

Ralph (Hartley Sawyer) attempts to stop Sue (Natalie Dreyfuss) from making a grave mistake that could destroy her life.

The 16-year-old The Flash actor, who portrayed a young Barry Allen, suddenly died on Thursday (April 2), according to his family.

His mother Marlyse Williams confirmed his passing to The Tri-City News, saying the family is “absolutely devastated.”

Logan was also remembered by his co-star Grant Gustin, who paid tribute to him in a touching Instagram post.

“This picture was early in the filming of The Flash pilot episode back in 2014. I was so impressed by not only Logan’s talent but his professionalism on set. My thoughts and prayers will be with him and his family during what is I’m sure an unimaginably difficult time for them. Please keep Logan and his family in your thoughts and prayers during what has been a strange and trying time for us all. Sending love to everyone. ❤️,” Grant wrote.

In addition to The Flash, Logan also appeared in the Hallmark series When Calls the Heart, as well as guest spots on The Whispers and Supernatural.
