Actor Teddy Sears who plays the role told EW: "We're going to see what happened to Hunter as a child look almost exactly like what happened to Barry when he was a child. One man went one way and one man went the other... Which of course gets into some really exciting stuff when Hunter and Barry begin to interact, because there's a lot of stuff that bubbles up to the surface for Hunter that he didn't realise was there."
Chatting about the character and the direction he'll take, he added: "There was a really wonderful scene that I did with Grant [Gustin] where that opportunity for the audience to experience an understanding or a pathos for Hunter exists - at least that's what we were attempting.
"Honestly, just as an actor, that began to happen in the shooting of this scene. I think there's this whole other thing here. We all agreed that that was a really fun way to go."
He also explained a little more about Hunter's 'genuine' feelings for Caitlin: "That adds a really interesting dynamic to this moving forward. He essentially is one gigantic liar who has played them all, but he never played her. There are real feelings there. There's even an under-layer based on where he came from in his life - his origin story - that plays a big part in why he wants her, why he needs her, why he loves her."
The Flash will return from its short hiatus in the US next week, Tuesday April 19 on The CW.
