Supergirl star Nicole Maines on her The Flash guest appearance and why a character like Dreamer still matters so much right now.
With The Flash concluding with season 9 and the futures of shows like Superman & Lois uncertain, there’s much about this final outing that feels like a goodbye to something much bigger than a single show. So the fact that it’s managing to include characters from across the small-screen superhero universe feels both important and incredibly satisfying.
In “Wildest Dreams,” Supergirl’s Nia Nal arrives in Central City, disturbed by a dream that featured Iris’s death and frustrated by the loss of her own powers. And the end result is a guest appearance that actually has something satisfying to say about the characters we’re watching and the journeys they’re both on.
“She’s so intertwined with my identity at this point,” actress Nicole Maines, who plays Dreamer, tells Den of Geek when asked about returning to her Supergirl role. “And it felt, honestly, like I never really left because …I’ve been writing her in the comics since the show wrapped. So I’ve stayed in that headspace of Nia Nal, and it was very easy to step back into that [onscreen]. Exciting nonetheless, though, because it’d been a minute since I wore the suit!’
