Two THE FLASH Characters Promoted
According to Deadline and TVline, Hartley Sawyer (Ralph Dibney) and Danielle Nicolet (Cecille Horton) have both been upped from recurring roles to series regular roles on The CW’s The Flash. Ralph was rescued from The Thinker’s brain when we last saw him. We aren’t quite sure what the results will be from him being merged with the other metas, so that will be interesting to see if he deals with other powers than his stretchiness. Cecille had just given birth to her and Joe’s daughter, Jenna West at the end of the season. We’ll see her and Joe grow together as they return the epics of diapers and pacifiers. What…
