Given that this season has been dealing with the Flashpoint story from the comics, several events have been altered from the show's timeline, which may in fact result in Eddie coming back from the grave, or his return could happen during another time travelling episode. While he was there, Barry managed to coax Eddie Thawne into a recording a 'goodbye' message to Iris West ( Candice Patton), who was still mourning her late fiancee's death. In The Flash Season 2 episode 'Flash Back,' which aired last March, Rick Cosnett's Eddie Thawne returned again, when Barry Allen ( Grant Gustin) traveled back in time to consult with Eobard Thawne. The actor made the announcement on Twitter earlier today, although this isn't the first time his character has come back. Rick Cosnett was a series regular on the first season of The Flash, but in the Season 1 finale, the Central City detective sacrificed himself to prevent his evil relative Eobard Thawne, a.k.a.

While no details have been given about this surprising return, Rick Cosnett, who starred in the first season of The Flash as Detective Eddie Thawne, will return to the hit series at some point this year. While we'll still have to wait a bit to see what the back half of The Flash Season 3 has in store for the fans, one of the show's former stars revealed that he is actually coming back.From the dead! Just a few weeks ago, The CW helped ring in the new year by issuing early renewals for The Flash, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl and more, ensuring they'll all back for the 2017 fall TV season. In just eight short days, The CW's The Flash will return with its midseason premiere on Tuesday, January 24 at 8 PM ET on The CW.
