Danielle Panabaker, who plays Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost/Frost/Khione on the show, was interviewed by EW in May 2023. She was asked how she managed to play so many different characters who had different character arcs.
"That's the work of an actor. You do that even when you're not playing multiple characters. We don't shoot in sequential order, so it's important to know the script and to have done your homework, and even 184 episodes in that was something that I still took seriously, trying to make sure I knew where we were coming from and going to," the actress said.
She continued:
"When we're filming multiple episodes at once, it can get confusing, but that's why it was helpful to have writers on set, and our script supervisors were stellar at helping us keep track of stuff. That's why it's also important to have a strong director as well."
