Would the show survive?

It's hard to continue any show when there is a clear main character or focus. Kid Flash can't replace Barry, and bringing in a different super hero is not the same. Or bringing in a different actor to play the same character rarely works. Only in a true ensemble cast can one show survive, like Law and Order where main characters came and went. Grey's Anatomy has survived with many characters leaving, but it's been said Meredith is the show (by Shonda R), so when Ellen P leaves, the show is over.
I think that only Legends could survive if someone leaves. There is no clear cut major character

in theory wally could take over like in the comics. But it might not work on this show

On a character level, it would be possible for Wally to replace Barry as in the comics, but on an actor level, there is no way this show will work without Grant. He is the beating heart of the show.

Under the right circumstances.
Wally probably couldn't carry the show, but if they sent Bart back from the future, or introduced cousin Wally, or let Jay handle the lead while they try and make Wally or Jesse a capable lead.
The Emperor has no clothes.

Probably not.
Why do you ask? Is he thinking of leaving?

Not for me. Grant is the reason i started watching and he will be the reason i leave

Yes actually not Grant's fault but many fans don't like Barry to begin with

Who doesn't like Barry? Plenty of Wally and Iris haters. Lose either of them and the show will survive. Lose
Barry and it won't.

Bring on Joel Gretsch as future Barry.

Nope! If Barry goes the show's ratings will drop as fast as Trumps popularity. Wally is obnoxious and can't carry the show on his own. Besides, people are fed up with blackwashing white characters.

Then why is it continuing to happen? I will probably never watch an all-white tv show again unless it's a rerun.
All white shows stink.
Good job Oscars! Hopefully Asian and Hispanic nominees in 2018!
