Jessica Parker Kennedy Talks Why Nora Prefers Barry To Iris on 'The Flash'

It’s probably safe to say that Nora West-Allen is a daddy’s girl.

Jessica Parker Kennedy, who plays the new series regular role, opened up to Newsarama about her relationship with her mother and father in the new season of The Flash.

In the sneak peek, you could kind of pick up on some tension that Nora brings to Barry and Iris’ relationship, which hints that Nora prefers Barry over Iris. But why is that?

“Something has obviously happened for me to feel much closer to my father than my mother,” Jessica shared.

“It’s something you’ll find out relatively early on in the season.”

Jessica adds that Nora is a lot like Barry in a lot of ways, too.

“Personality-wise, I think she’s a lot like Barry. Certainly, the way Barry was early on. She’s finding her footing. She’s goofy, she’s dorky, she’s very young spirited,” she shared. “She is prone to making mistakes and other people needing to clean them up. That’s just sort of where she’s at right now. She’s in the experimental phase of her life.”

The Flash returns in October on The CW.
