So why can't Barry keep his hand off Iris again? Canonically, they are supposed to be together, but this isn't the case for the TV version. I don't like drama like this and it paints Barry in a bad light. It makes him seem like a teenager with raging hormones who just can't control himself.

I thought it was quite obvious that changing the future would mean that the Iris who reciprocate his feelings is gone as well. I believe this is a major flaw in the TV version. It isn't a soap opera, so I don't think we really need to have him trying to steal Eddie's girl every single opportunity he has got. Barry's got his chance when Eddie wasn't introduced, so trying to do it now isn't fair for any of the characters involved. Please, just move on and get on with Linda or some random girl. Watching him hurts me.

I guess it keeps his character consistent, but it definitely will be good for him if he learns to move on. We all have went through the phase and understood how it feels, but watching that is like reliving your own painful memories of being an immature kid. >.>
