1. THE FLASH Actor Keiynan Lonsdale Reveals Kid Flash Exit Was His Choice As He Bids Farewell To The Role (Date: 08 June 2018)
   1. It was recently announced that Keiynan Lonsdale who plays Wally West in the CW’s Arrow-verse shows would not be returning as series regular for season 4 of the network’s Legends of Tomorrow, the news came as a surprise for some while others had expected it after feeling the writers had little left to do with the character. In a Twitter post, Lonsdale revealed that the decision to depart the DC adaptation was his, revealing that this wasn’t a total goodbye as well explaining to fans and thanking them for their support. “I’ve changed a lot in the past year (as you’ve probably notice lol), and for infinite reasons, my perspective on life & what I want from it now is just completely different. Because of that, my heart told me it was the right time to continue my journey on an unknown path.”
