So who do you guys think JWS will be playing in The Flash? It seems that Barry's dad or Jay Garrick are the prevailing expectations, but maybe they'll throw a curveball and have him playing someone else.

I remembered that Bee Louise retweeted a tweet a few months ago by JWS when asked who he was playing on the show. His answer was something like "Hm, let's see. mummm..." I don't know if those are the exact words, but I think he's playing Barry's father. Yeah, I guess he could be playing someone else. As much as we all want him to play Jay, it seems really unlikely, but we'll see!

JWS Will likely play Barry's father, but we can all hope that Jay Garrick will have some sort of cameo in the show >_<

Ok, now I'm wondering how JWS as Barry's father would work. Would he be in prison on the other side of the glass? Maybe he could help Barry to stop any breakouts in motion.
I don't know, but if he just sat there, it'd be boring. They could have flashbacks too, I guess. JWS doesn't look that old.
If he is Jay Garrick, I'll be so happy.

I'm guessing he will be behind the glass, perhaps he saw what happened to Barry's mom like what Barry saw.

I am not sure they would introduce two speedsters so early in the series. |

I think he'll play Jay. Only because having Barry run constantly to the prison to take to his father is a bit much, but also what could his father give him information on besides knowledge of his mother's death...which clearly has been spoken of between the two or Barry would have his answer (or lie).
However it's possible that it could be one other old dude.
Captain Darryln Frye. It's possible he is retired, leaving Singh the Captain's position, for whatever reason. He'd act as a buffer to Barry's Quest to figure out who killed his mother, but also an outside of Police Influence force...Still, that police/detective aspect is being covered by Detective West. Which leaves only him being outside of Police Influence and as a buffer to Barry's quest for answers.
Still he is a possibilities.
I like Jay as he can act as a vigilant father figure, but also because he's speed would draw Barry's curiosity. He'd want to know either why Jay has similar abilities to the man who killed his mother or why wasn't he there to stop it. This all depends on how he is introduced and what approach they take to bring Jay into the world.

Captain Darryl Frye is replaced by Detective West, at least as a father figure.
JWS as a vigilante who draws curiosity is interesting. It would be like the Dark Archer from Arrow, but the good version. Though, I want Jay Garrick to be on Earth-2 instead so Barry is the 1st Flash.
I'm still wondering why they're keeping JWS's role a secret.

I don't think JWS will be playing Jay Garrick. He's in the pilot episode, so unless they've decided NOT to do a "Flash of Two Worlds" story (which would really disappoint me) and kept Jay around as just some random guy who gives out fatherly advice I don't think it will be him. There are a few possible guys he could be though. He could play Mason Trollbridge (who was a friend of Wally's during his first few years as The Flash) or an entirely new character created just for the TV show.
I think if they had used the season finale as a "Flash of Two Worlds" story and introduced Jay then it would have been an awesome way to end the first year. They still might, but we'll have to see just how far they're willing to take the time travel/alternate dimension adventures that have been a part of Flash history since the 1940s. They may tone it down quite a bit, meaning that we won't get to see Jay Garrick at all or if we do he won't have super-speed.

They did say they were considering using Time Travel in the first season. Though that was way early, in an interview that happened just before Barry's appeared the Three Ghost episode of Arrow.
Marc G. said that they were interested in exploring Time Travel and that it will come up in the 1st season. Sadly I'm having trouble find the interview where he said that. I'll edit this post when or if I find it.
