Danielle Panabaker Talks The Flash Season 2 Six Month Time Jump And Killer Frost

When The Flash returns in October, the team’s story will have jumped forward six months…and it’s been a heck of a change for most of the players.

“The season premiere will address some stuff from the finale; it’s not like there’s some title card that just says, ‘Six months later,’” promised actress Danielle Panabaker during a panel at DragonCon this weekend (via Collider). “We will deal with the singularity and everything that’s going on.”

Asked about the possibility of Killer Frost appearing soon, Panabaker said more or less the same thing she’s said for months, albeit with maybe a few extra details:

“No one is more excited for Caitlin to become Killer Frost than I am,” Panabaker said. “Unfortunately I don’t know when that will happen on the show. The writers will say, ‘Well this is what’s going to happen. We’re looking forward to this. This is what we’re thinking.’ And then scripts evolve, sometimes they don’t make it into the script as soon as you hope, sometimes we shoot things that don’t even make it into the show. I think our season finale was [an extra] 20 minutes long, so that’s 20 minutes of stuff that they cut out of storylines. Little things, like they explained how Caitlin asked Barry to go get her wedding dress, and they explained the toilets in the pipeline, and that sort of thing. But since we only have 42, 44 minutes, some stuff just sort of falls to the cutting-room floor. Long story short, I’m useless in terms of Killer Frost. I want it to happen very, very badly. Unfortunately I don’t know that it’s happening yet.”

The Flash returns to The CW at 8 p.m. ET/PT on October 6.
