If you’re still scratching your head over Henry’s sudden leave of absence on The Flash,
you’re not the only one. The cast of the CW series is just as puzzled
by Mr. Allen’s hasty exit from his son Barry’s life mere hours after
leaving prison.
“First
of all, I was shocked that happened that quickly, like a lot of the
viewers were. It was like, ‘I’m out! Gotta go!'” star Grant Gustin says.
Jesse
L. Martin, who plays Barry’s surrogate and last remaining father figure
Joe, is just as perplexed. “I didn’t realize it was a competition!” he
says with a laugh. “I’m still grappling with the fact that the dude just
left. I don’t get it. You’re finally free to have a relationship with
your son, and he felt like he had to leave. I don’t know how much me,
Jesse, understands that decision.”
Although
Henry is “still a part of [Barry’s] life,” Gustin speculates that the
two are “talking less right now than they probably even did when he was
in prison.”
From
Gustin’s perspective, “Barry was not really understanding why, but
trying to just give it to him and be supportive of him needing space, I
guess, even though it’s kind of confusing to Barry. He’s not sure if
he’s supposed to reach out or not right now, but he’ll be there again
when Barry needs him.”
Adds
Martin: “Maybe he has things he needs to do with his own life, and
Barry’s a grown man — and also a superhero! Maybe he felt that getting
out of his way would be a better thing. I still don’t get it, though.”
