The Flash cast & crew filmed scenes on Friday night/Saturday morning in downtown Vancouver. I was not expecting a location, as I didnt find any info of filming anywhere earlier in the day. But thanks to a tweet, I got the heads up, and after a bit of recouping (I had already been outside for several hourts going for hockey autographs), I went out at night hoping there would be something.

When I first got to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre (you may recognize it as the place where the 6 Godspeeds Vs Barry scene happened, and Frosts death scene last season), they were still a couple hours from filming, but I did not know it yet.

This night, 3 actors were on set for scenes. GRANT GUSTIN was on set as The Flash, as you would expect. But who else was with him? One, that I didnt notice at the set, I just thought it was a background person for a bit, then realized they were in the scene, but never really knew when I was at set who it could be. It wasnt till today when I looked at all my photos, I noticed, it APPEARS to be PAUL ANTHONY, who played Roy G Bivolo, aka Rainbow Raider in season 1.

But as big of a shock as that spoiler is. The OMG! spoiler of the night featured in the title. JAVICIA LESLIE, who we all know as Ryan Wilder, from Batwoman, was on set, but not in her Batwoman attire..... as RED DEATH.

Yes, you heard that right. Red Death is coming to the final season. The scene had the three of them on set doing a scene where Flash is standing at 1 end of the courtyard, Rainbow Raider was standing more near the middle, and Red Death near the other end of the courtyard.

Flash walks slowly towards the other two, before stopping. Some dialogue is exchanged between them, before Rainbow Raider is standing over him forcing The Flash down to the ground, eventually laid out flat on his back. Red Death then walks over, stands over The Flash, and then does some type of clap motion, then they walk away.

A bit later, they did a scene with JUST Red Death standing in the courtyard. Spectators running around screaming, and she yells out to The Flash to come & get her.

That was it for the time I was there. There was also a scene they were going to do after I left, up on a rooftop. So I dont know what happened in that scene. After they wrapped, I talked with Javicia shortly, and told her I was sorry with how the network treated her show, and she answered it with a pretty relaxed "its ok", I also asked her if shes here for a guest spot, or recurring, and she basically said "I dont know", as if to say "I cant say".

There will be some video from scenes from this episode to post in the next few weeks, so come back to find those then, or you can subscribe to my Youtube channel and get them there when they drop. Some from the first part of the cross over is already up there. You can find ALL of The Flash videos I have shot since right back to the pilot episode HERE on Youtube.

So, as everyone reading this likely knows. Episode 8 of season 3 of Arrow, and season 1 of The Flash will be a cross over episode in which characters from both shows will be featured on each episode, starting with The Flash next Tuesday night & concluding the night after on Arrow.

A few weeks ago, several scenes were shout downtown for The Flash episode, titled "The Flash VS Arrow". I intended to have some of these up sooner, and put up the final batch this week...but I got sidetracked. So, heres 1 whole megapost of pics from the 3 days of shoots.

The 1st day was the only day I saw any members from Arrow on set shooting. Of course, it happened to be THE ARROW. Stephen Amell and his stunt double Simon Burnett were on the set shooting a scene with Grant Gustin & his stunt double Cody Laudan for the episode. I never really got a chance to SEE much of the scene, but it seemed to be some type of confrontation between the two heroes, which makes me think Flash VS Arrow is going to have some friction between the masked men.

The next day saw scenes done in a building that featured Jesse L. Martin as Joe West. I also saw the stunt doubles of Grant Gustin & Stephen Amell around that day, but not sure what the scenes entailed since they were all indoors.

On the final day, they had multiple scenes happen.

First off was a scene where they had The Flash star Grant Gustin running into what seems to be the ONLY bank in Central City (and 1 that seems to have a lot of bad luck). They filmed a couple other scenes in & around the bank with guest star of the week Paul Anthony (aka Roy G. Bivolo aka - Chromo) who did a solo scene a block over earlier in the day that I'm guessing was of him getting ready to enter the bank....then he moved over to the actual bank set where he enters the bank and soon after scenes were shot where a scene like something out of the WWE Royal Rumble took place where everyone in the bank just started fighting each other. I honestly don't know what the scene will look like on camera, but from outside it looked pretty wild & funny.

After the bank scene was shot. Grant Gustin poked his head out the door in his Barry Allen attire, waved at the fans standing across busy Pender Street. Then, in what has so far in the time The Flash has shot here, been a rare occurrence, a few seconds later, came back out and came across the street to meet the handful of fans before he headed off to lunch.

After lunch, the crew & cast returned to a side street around the corner from the bank scene for a night stunt scene involving Grant Gustin, Rick Cosnett & Candice Patton and their stunt doubles.

The scene seems to have The Flash using his body to slow down/stop a car from hitting Eddie Thawne who was standing in the middle of the street. After Eddie jumps out of the way, The Flash comes over to him to confront detective pretty boy as Iris comes running in from the distance. This scene was an interesting one for me, because I never really thought Grant could muster up a menacing volume of speaking, but the verbal tongue lashing he put on Eddie there was quite intense. Needless to say if Iris was close enough to hear his conversation with Eddie, she would HAVE to know its Barry now after what he said, and as loud as he did.

During 1 of the re-positions of the scene and equipment Grant came over to a couple of fans still waiting at the set in the early hours of the morning. He briefly chatted with them, but said he couldn't take photos while in the suit. I asked him if he could once the show airs (it had not aired yet) and he said "maybe".... so far, I haven't had the chance to test that. Shortly after, we were moved back further & I felt there was not much more I probably would see worth sticking around at such a late hour & went home.

The Flash is currently up for several BEST OF TV AWARDS 2014 going on right now HERE.

The Flash airs Tuesday nights on The CW in the U.S. and CTV in Canada. The Flash/Arrow cross over episodes will air December 2nd for The Flash, December 3rd for Arrow.
