Fans of The Flash will have a nice surprise in season 8: the come back of Rick Cosnett. The actor who played Eddie Thawne in season 1 and came back twice, has signed for at least 3 episodes according to a Deadline information. The American media specifies that the character will be reintroduced in an unconventional way without giving more details.
Eric Wallace, executive producer and showrunner of the series says about this return: “Rick’s been such a fantastic part of our Flash family since S1. And we have been looking for ways to bring him back to the show ever since. Fortunately, we’ve been able to do so now in Season 8. And Rick has been fantastic in bringing an exciting new side to his portrayal of Eddie Thawne that honors the character’s past but also takes it somewhere unexpected.”
Deadline adds that Rick Cosnett could play different characters in this season 8 and could also return in the ninth season if The CW were to renew The Flash.
