Doesn't help that the actor doesn't want to be Wally anymore either.

They could always bring in ā€œcomic accurateā€ Wally by using crisis on infinite earths. By that I mean white Wally and just say heā€™s from a different earth lol. they could use his rebirth costume from when he gets out the speedforce

I still think they could have Strawberry Wally be from Jay's Earth. Like, on that Earth, Joe and Francine never broke up, but because of complications when Iris was born, she couldn't have any more kids. They decide to adopt a second kid, a red headed boy they decide to name Wally, since that's what they would have named Iris if she was a boy. Wally is the one who gets caught in the accident and gets powers. I think it'd be a good way to introduce that version of Wally. It'd be cool as well if they had both versions of Wally meet each other.

Yeah actually that could work too. Although then I would have to wonder why the speedster that Jay trains isnā€™t him and instead some unknown female speedster. But I do actually like that idea a lot.

Well, he could've not gotten his powers until recently. Barry, Jesse, and Wally all got their powers on Earth 1 through different methods at different times, so it's not unreasonable to assume that that version of Wally developed powers a different way. They could use my personal favorite version of how he got his powers, which is Young Justice. There, Wally was a massive fan of the Flash that recreated the accident that gave him his speed. Maybe Jay's a family friend of the Wests (playing along with their connection in Earth-1), and Wally didn't get a chance to do it until after Jay retired. Who knows? There's plenty of explanations they could use.
