About
Vivian Cross is TV Flash's lead gossip columnist. She treats premieres like crime scenes and cast interviews like open-mic therapy. Her lane is heat: who ghosted a table read, which showrunner's 'creative differences' were actually a meltdown, and why that 'amicable' exit never is. She is allergic to prestige-only takes — and unapologetic about it.
