‘The Flash’: Carlos Valdes Previews Meeting Between Cisco & Ray

Ray Palmer is headed to Central City and he’s got an appointment with S.T.A.R. Labs’ star employee on “The Flash,” Cisco Ramon.

“Ray Palmer comes to Central City and he wants to get feedback on his suit and potentially work on some upgrades, so obviously this guy [Cisco] is gonna be the guy to go to,” Carlos Valdes, who plays Cisco, told AccessHollywood.com at WonderCon of the April 14 episode of “The Flash.”

And meeting the tech giant will be a real thrill for Carlos’ character.

“So it’s not just getting to meet Ray Palmer, who’s like an idol, he’s doing amazing work at Palmer Tech and he’s like a huge role model for him, but it’s also the fact that he is asking me, Cisco, for help,” Carlos said. “That’s Cisco’s mindset, it’s like, ‘I get to help him with his suit!’ so there’s all sorts of mind-blowing things happening.”

Next week’s episode will also see the introduction of metahuman Brie Larvan, played by “The Walking Dead” alum Emily Kinney. She’ll be working to unleash robotic bees as part of a revenge plot against her former co-workers, including Dr. Tina McGee (Amanda Pays).

“Cisco does not mess around with bees,” Carlos said. “It’s like the Indiana Jones snake complex, it’s like he doesn’t do bees!”

As the show begins its march toward the finale, there will be more crossovers on the way, including Cisco heading to Starling City on a future episode.

“I think the highlight for Cisco in Starling City is meeting the Black Canary ’cause it’s just like the Ray Palmer complex where I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I’m getting to meet not just my favorite celebrity, but I’m also getting to work with them and help them,’ and on top of that, Cisco gets to learn from his experiences — he gets to learn from his heroes.”

“The Flash” is all-new next Tuesday night at 8/7c on The CW.
