The Flash Season 8 Brings Back Dead Season 1 Character In Unexpected Way
The Flash season 8 is set to include more of Rick Cosnett than originally planned, as the season 1 cast member will be featured for several episodes. As The Flash has been running for almost a full decade, multiple characters have joined and left the series since 2014. One of the first characters to leave was Eddie Thawne, played by Cosnett, who had family ties to Eobard Thawne, a.k.a. the Reverse-Flash (Tom Cavanagh.) However, in a surprise twist during The Flash season 1 finale, Eddie shot himself to make sure that Eobard would never be born.

In Cosnett's case, the Australian actor has made some guest spots since Eddie's passing in The Flash season 1. Despite the DC drama having numerous timeline changes, Eddie's death has always remained intact. However, Cosnett was announced earlier this season to come back in another guest appearance, but it turns out that The Flash has more in store for the fallen Thawne.
