“I said goodbye to The Flash and my Flash family on Saturday. Very special day, with moments I will cherish for the rest of my life. My family got to see my last shot as The Flash – that’s something I could’ve never imagined nearly 10 years ago when I started this journey,” Grant shared on Instagram.
“This first shot here is moments before my final set up(which was Flash running). I got a chance to thank the crew, who have worked longer hours than anyone can image and are the reason we were able to accomplish 184 episodes of The Flash. More than anything I’ll miss chatting and laughing in between takes(and sometimes during takes) with so many of them. Regardless of how challenging this journey was at times, I know I laughed every single day at work for the last 9 + years,” he continued.
“I made lots of mistakes and did a lot of growing up on this journey. Forever grateful to @davidrapaport @ziking11 (#DavidNutter) #GeoffJohns #PeterRoth & @gberlanti for the opportunity of a lifetime – one I tried to never take for granted. An opportunity that I honestly didn’t feel like I deserved at times. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you to the cast, old and new. Series regulars over the series and guest stars that popped in and out. Our guest stars are the unsung heroes of this show, that really made it special over the years.”
“I made a lot of friends, and I’m sure many of us will be in each others lives forever. THANK YOU to the fans who remained passionate about our show through 9 seasons. The show went through lots of changes but so many people stuck with us through it all. I look forward to hopefully continuing to meet some of you out in the world in passing and maybe even at conventions in the future. Thank you to @chipeyt (#ToddHelbing) for taking the reins and guiding us and to #EricWallace for getting us across the finish line. Honored to have had the chance to play this iconic character. I gave it absolutely everything I had. That’s all for now. ⚡️❤️”
Grant‘s co-stars Danielle Panabaker, Kayla Compton and Jon Cor have also shared posts after wrapping filming. See all of their notes below…
The final season of The Flash is now airing on Wednesday nights on The CW.
“End of an era. I cannot begin to express the gratitude I have for this show, this experience and these people (and many not pictured). It’s been a great privilege to play Allegra Garcia for the last 4 seasons. I’ll carry with me, her courage and strength as I step into the next era of my life. I’ve said it before, I love The Flash because he believes in “the impossible”. When something good feels like it can not be done I’ll lean on the magic of that belief because of this little wonder-filled show. Thank you & I love you!” Kayla wrote. See her post on IG here!
