THE FLASH Casts Original Series Star Amanda Pays for Guest Spot

THE FLASH is bringing in another familiar face to the new CW series, a rep for the show has confirmed: 1990 THE FLASH star Amanda Pays. (Original THE FLASH star John Wesley Shipp is appearing on The CW version as Barry Allen father.)

Unlike Shipp (who played Barry in the original series), Pays is set to reprise her role of Tina McGee on CW’s version of THE FLASH.

“When we decided to bring Tina onto our version of THE FLASH, who better to get than the amazing actress who originated the part?” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told Variety, who was first to report the casting. “Like with John Wesley Shipp, we are so proud and excited to have another actor from the original series join us on our new adventures for Barry Allen.”

Pays is set to appear in episode 9 of the show’s freshman series.

THE FLASH premieres Tuesday, October 7th at 8 PM on The CW.
