>I do wonder where Caitlin would've been now if Johns hadn't changed course in season 1 and she was paired with Barry as originally planned.
Is there any source of that? Or it's just some meme?

Was season 1 the karaoke date? Dunno they might have been setting them up to date for awhile, but I'd have thought Iris was always the intended endgame.
Barry and Caitlin were going to be paired together in season 1, although Iris was always meant to be endgame. Caitlin's fiance would've been the Mist, too. This and a few other storylines (Hartley being part of the team, Eddie's dark past, Iris being a psychologist, etc) were changed after the show was ordered to series.
Geoff Johns advocated for the Firestorm storyline and because of it Barry/Caitlin was axed.

Whoa! Where can I read about it? Is there an original script or article/interview?
>>87956512
Just scattered articles then and there. The "Pilot" script with Hartley is online, though. From what I remember
>Joe was going to die in the pilot episode
>Iris was a psychology student interning at CCPD as a criminal profiler.
>Caitlin's fiance was the Mist and she'd date Barry.
>Eddie accidentally killed his partner back in Keystone City, covered it up and transferred to Central City. He'd also be an asshole who often takes credit for the Flash's heroics.
>Hartley was part of the team and a sassy gay man always with the verbal putdowns.
>The "Pilot" scripts also sets up Albert Desmond (Doctor Alchemy in the comics) as Barry's childhood friend, and Solovar and Nmandi as gorilla test subjects that got zapped by the particle accelerator explosion alongside Grodd.

There was also a Green Lantern reference in the original pilot script.
The actual pilot has a cut scene confirming that Aquaman exists in this universe. It's on the DVD I think.

I'd love it if they made that old Aquaman pilot cannon.

This one should have happened. I'm really disappointed it didn't.

They should have kept this in at any rate, it would have given Iris something to do other than live at Star labs and give speeches..

I agree, a profiler would also add a new dynamic to the team.
