E! News is reporting that The Flash has cast Ashley Rickards as Rosalind "Rosa" Dillion a.k.a. The Top and she'll make her debut as the extremely dangerous DC Comics villain in the fourth episode of the upcoming third season.

Rickards' iteration will be a new take on The Top, a male character in the comics, but she'll retain the same metahuman abilities, which are to make people's heads spin. Her version will also likely share a fairly intimate relationship with Grey Damon's Mirror Master as she's being teased as the Bonnie to his Clyde.

Rickards is best known for her lead role as Jenna Hamilton on MTV's comedy drama series Awkward and has also guest-starred on episodes of Zoey 101, Ugly Betty, One Tree Hill, Entourage, and American Horror Story: Murder House. Her film credits include Fly Away, Sassy Pants, A Haunted House 2, and Behaving Badly. She can be seen next in the comedy The Outskirts.

Additionally, episode 304 is shaping up to be a big one for the series as not only will it introduce one of the Scarlet Speeder's most formidable foes in Mirror Master, it will also feature the return of fan-favorite Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold. "It's kind of the origin of Mirror Master...We're really excited," teased executive producers Aaron & Todd Helbing, "It's the origin story of him, but it's this struggle between Mirror Master and Captain Cold and you get to see who comes out on top." Sounds interesting enough and while the duo wouldn't reveal anything more, they did enthusiastically express their excitement on working with Miller again.

So, what do you guys think? Excited for the upcoming season? Sound off with your thoughts below!

Blinded by anger, Barry unwittingly plays into Zoom's game and uncovers the evil speedster's true goal: to destroy all the earths in the multiverse. In the face of his life, Barry ultimately gets the upper hand against Zoom and defeats his nemesis. But unable to celebrate victory, Barry makes a world-shaking decision and speeds back in time to the night his mother died to stop Reverse Flash from killing her, irrevocably changing his past and redetermining his future.

The Flash features:
Grant Gustin as Barry Allen/Flash
Candice Patton as Iris West
Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow
Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon
Tom Cavanagh as Dr. Harrison Wells
Jesse L. Martin as Detective Joe West
John Wesley Shipp as Henry Allen/Jay Garrick
Michelle Harrison as Nora Allen
Keiynan Lonsdale as Wally West/Kid Flash
Violett Beane as Jesse Quick
Tom Felton as Julian Dorn

The Flash returns October 4

She's decent on Awkward. Haven't seen in her anything outside of it. It's for sure inspired casting.

I hope she says that hilariously homoerotic line from Flashpoint.

cbostont102 - 8/18/2016, 12:14 PM

I wouldn't mind her on top...

0bstreperous - 8/18/2016, 12:29 PM

DarkArrow19 - 8/18/2016, 12:29 PM

Okay well this makes me more relieved that it's an "origin story type of episode" for mirror master which means he can always appear next season as the real big bad

ManDeth - 8/18/2016, 12:33 PM

The name 'Rickards' is not welcome in these here parts.

mitchellhenrysp - 8/18/2016, 1:02 PM

@ManDeth - that's not funny

ManDeth - 8/18/2016, 4:17 PM

@mitchellhenrysp -Then you got what I said. Who said I was joking?

mitchellhenrysp - 8/18/2016, 6:42 PM

@ManDeth - it sounded like a joke

BloodyBed - 8/19/2016, 8:16 AM

@mitchellhenrysp - it is funny

mitchellhenrysp - 8/19/2016, 4:28 PM

@ALostCause - go back to the stone age where you came from

BloodyBed - 8/19/2016, 4:58 PM

@mitchellhenrysp - what's your deal dude?

mitchellhenrysp - 8/21/2016, 8:39 PM
