The Flash was shooting scenes for episode 515 or 516 (I think 16) in an alley just off Granville Street in downtown Vancouver. It's an alley they have used OFTEN. So often, I knew exactly where they were going to bring cast in, and hold them etc. They've been in this alley pretty often.

While they were setting up the scene that would be shot first, Chris Klein dressed as Cicada, and Danielle Panabaker dressed up as Killer Frost showed up, and almost walked right thru the crowd of lookie loos, before being turned around by a crew member towards where they were supposed to go. I always can tell what type of "fans" there are at a set by who they recognize.... and this was a perfect example. Danielle, in full KF wardrobe got within about 5 feet of a crowd of 20+ people, and NOT ONE noticed. Clear example that these weren't fans, as much as they were clubbers, stopping by to gawk at all the Hollywood magic going on so they could get instagram likes later.

The crew then worked on a car for about 10 minutes, quite literally sawing thru it, so that when they did a stunt later, it would have the desired effect wanted for it. That stunt, saw The Flash stunt double Cody Laudan dropped from about 30-50 feet in the air, into the car, blowing out all the windows, and leaving a massive person sized dent in it. Cody then shot scenes where he just stayed in the dent, almost motionless, as Cicada does his little up, up & away move with his dagger and leaves. During breaks, you would sometimes see the Cicada double talking to Chris, and seemingly showing him how moves should be done. You see this type of stuff a lot on sets, but this time, it seemed like he was doing it a LOT more than others.

For a brief while, Danielle was on set as Killer Frost, but I never really saw what her role in the scene was. For much of the evening, the main stars were not really around when I saw them shooting. It was primarily the stunt team, and Chris Klein shooting.

A little later, Danielle took off from set, and stopped to take photos with the half dozen or so fans who actually KNEW who she was. A little while later, Grant Gustin showed up in his Flash attire. He then took over from the spot Cody had been in for the last hour. I always feel a little bad for Cody & the other stunt people when I see them do things like they did for Grant, where they had a ladder brought in for him to get up onto the car with, while Cody just had to climb up onto this just recently smashed up car, and climb off it on his own. The crew then shot the same scenes, this time with Grant laying there.

A little while later, Grant would leave, and Danielle would come back to do her work. The set up in the alley made it tough to see anything, so I called it a night at that point, and headed home. So I cant really say what happened between Killer Frost and Cicada in this scene.

The Flash airs on The CW in the U.S. on Tuesdays.

The Flash was shooting scenes for episode 515 or 516 in downtown Vancouver for 3 days this week. While little could be seens Wednesday or Friday because the locations were up on parkades. Thursday, the crew was right out on West Georgia Street shooting scenes for the episode.

When I first got there, I instantly hear the director blurting out instructions in the scene that had no cast at the time. What caught my attention was the part of "and thats when/where King Shark lands". That is right, he is back. King Shark will be in this episode..... but thats not where this spoiler ends.

After what seemed like forever, they finally did a couple more takes, with another tidbit getting dropped shortly after as I heard "Grodd is fighting, and thats when/where King Shark lands". It took me almost no time to realize... this is the King Shark VS Gorilla Grodd fight Nora had alluded to earlier this season.

The evening didnt produce a lot of action to see. In fact, I cant even be entirely certain if there was any actors taking the places of Grodd & Shark. I THOUGHT I saw one for Shark on the first take, but I never confirmed it in later shoots. They also didnt do a lot of takes of the scene, even though there wasnt a lot going on in it. Probably a mistake on their behalf, as not long after, a torrential downpour would come

A little while later, Grant Gustin as The Flash and Jessica Parker Kennedy as XS were on set doing a scene where they were clearly engaging with 1, or both, of the mutant animals. The speedsters came prepared for a fight with Grodd it seemed, as they had some device on their heads that had ear muffs, and 2 red lights on it.Again, like the earlier scene... no action really took place, just the pair of speedsters standing in the street staring in the same direction saying something.

A little while later, Grant left the set for the evening. Signing a few autographs for people, and taking a couple photos with, before going home. Unsure if JPK was still working. The weather was so miserable, I felt it best to call it an evening at that point. They proceeded to film out there for a couple more hours. No clue what/who might have filmed afterwards.

The combination of terrible weather, darkness, and filming on 1 of the busiest streets in downtown Vancouver made taking photos very challenging. I quite literally only got 1 set of shots of Grant facing me in the hour or so I stood out there, and the 1 I posted was really the best of the bunch as I was shooting between a passing truck and bus, so the camera didnt really have time to focus fully in on him.

The Flash was shooting scenes for episode 510 in downtown Vancouver a couple months ago in front of the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. When I got there, I realized quickly there was no main cast on set. Instead, I got 1 mystery woman (at that time) doing scenes where she steals a car from a man who is being questioned by a cop. In the scene, she simply just walks up behind the car owner while the cop is right there questioning him, and gets in and drives away before the owner pointlessly tries to chase after her.

I asked on twitter if anyone knew who the woman was, and got no solid answers.... so it remained a mystery, until the episode synopsis came out.

I now know the woman to be Gabrielle Walsh (The Vampire Diaries, Shameless), and she is playing the character Silver Ghost, who has meta tech abilities that make it so she can operate motorized items. She had a stunt double to do all the driving scenes.

A little later they moved to another location down the street. The car was there when I got there, but they had not yet started filming. A little while later Cody Laudan, the double for The Flash showed up. They set up for a scene where he was going to be chasing after the car. It was kind of cold that day, and I wasnt feeling up to waiting it out, so I left before they actually shot any of the scenes. A bit later in the day Grant Gustin arrived to film, as I found out from a post a fan put on twitter of him meeting grant there.

After the winter hiatus, The Flash will be back next week January 15, 2019 with this episode.
