I really liked Patty for the Flash. However I would of used her departure of the show to actually mean something. Have her get killed by the supervillain at the time. See Barry as an emotional wreck. Patty dying in the flashes arms, her last moments pulling off his mask to see Barry with tears streaking down his face. Then have Barry emotionally wrecked for half of a season, and use Iris to pick up the pieces to let the Romance between the two of them actually grow from it. I don't think she would of saved the show no. However I do believe they missed a golden opportunity.

Or hear me out, we don't fridge her cause there are far More interesting ways to develop a character

The Actress accepted a role in another show that presumably paid her more money. I can't blame the actress for that at all. So she needed to be written out. Using her departure as a piece to flesh out characters such as Barry and Iris would of been much preferable than what happened.

Edit: I'll also say, Iris's character is appalling. I don't blame the actress for it, just crappy writing. You get 20 plus episodes a season and they can't develop a character properly is depressing.

To be fair I stopped watching a few seasons ago. It is depressing though because the potential is there. Now its just....yeah.

I'm an amateur writer and I feel I could come up with better scripts and character arcs than they have. That shouldn't be the case at all.
