The main attraction of superhero movies and TV series is the action and grandeur of how strong the main character can be, among many other things like the character’s origins and personality. But there’s always been room for a dynamic where two people love each other, andThe Flash’‘s Barry Allen and Iris West’s relationship is one such dynamic that has fans going crazy.
Of course, a relationship like that of Clark Kent and Lois Lane is the gold standard here, at least for the DC lovers. But there’s no other relationship in the DC world that fans would argue is better than the love that Grant Gustin and Candice Patton have for each other, and they mean it.

The Flash’s Barry Allen And Iris West: A Brief Throwback
To make things clear, and as every dedicatedThe Flashfan would know, Iris West and Barry Allen’s relationship is not one of two lovers but that of two best friends who are in love. Let’s have a little throwback to how the love started and grew between the two popular characters from the TV series who have been the subject of many fandom shipping debates.
Grant Gustinand Candice Patton’s characters first met when they were just children and continued to remain friends ever since then. Fans would know that Eddie Thawne came in between the two when Barry Allen was in a coma, but the former’s honorable death at the end of season one paved a way for the relationship between Allen and West to grow once more.

One thing leads to another and the relationship between Allen and West kept growing as the seasons forThe Flashkept coming out. A significant milestone in their relationship came about when the two finally got married in Season 4 of the TV series despite a brief interruption by Nazis.
It’s truly a relationship that has been well-written and thought out with many interesting moments in the TV series that further strengthen the love that the two characters have for each other, and it’s beautiful.
