‘The Flash’ Stars Carlos Valdes & Tom Cavanagh Leaving After Season 7
by Emily Nagle
After 7 seasons, “The Flash” regulars Carlos Valdes and Tom Cavanagh will be departing from the series.
When he first started on the show in 2014, Valdes played Francisco “Cisco” Ramon, who helped create Flash’s super-suit. His character eventually took on the superhero alter ego of Vibe/Mecha-Vibe.
Cavanagh played scientist Harrison Wells, in addition to Flash’s nemesis Eobard Thawne. He was originally supposed to finish the show with season 6, but the pandemic shutdown caused him to stay for the first three episodes of season 7 to wrap up his storylines.
While they may not be appearing regularly on the show anymore, executive producer and showrunner Eric Wallace has announced that the two are welcome to return as guest stars further down the road. “Tom and Carlos have been an integral part of our show for seven seasons, and will be greatly missed,” he issued in a statement. “Both are incredible talents who created beloved characters that fans and audiences around the world have come to love. Which is why we are happily keeping the door open for return appearances.”
