The Flash: Why are Tom Cavanagh and Carlos Valdes leaving The Flash?


The Flash season seven continues to air weekly on The CW and fans have enjoyed seeing the title character (played by Grant Gustin) return. On May 4 it was announced two of the original characters – Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh) and Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes), would be leaving at the end of the season. 

Valdes is leaving the series due to his contract expiring. The standard contract length for a network show like The Flash is seven years, and Valdes chose not to renew his contract, according to Newsweek.

Cavanagh’s initial exit took place at the start of season seven, when Harrison Wells sacrificed himself to save Barry Allen. 

Fans were heartbroken, but showrunner Eric Wallace confirmed the actor would return at some stage. 

In the next episode, Cavanagh returned as a “reconstituted” version of his character, who left the show to be with his wife.

He is due to make another appearance on May 11 as Barry Allen goes in search of the Timeless Wells.

Cavanagh’s character was due to leave the show at the end of season six.
