I wave the flag for Jay, Barry, Wally and Bart... but I think it will be interesting to see how they handle the focus of villians with the new status quo... will they simply revert to the old cast of villians? Will they focus on using the "updated versions" and new baddies that Wally came to take on regularly...like Zoom, Savitar, Vandal Savage (though he is not a new one but more of a Wally regular foe it seemed) etc... The old Rogues will definitely be there but they can't remain the center of attention all the time.
How about the cast or friends and supporting characters? Obviously Barry has a wealth of old characters to draw from that I'd like to see resurface not to mention a lot of catching up to do in the DC universe outside of the title - but I certainly hope we don't see the complete loss of characters like Chunk and the like just because Wally isn't at the helm in the main title... I doubt Wally's orbiting cast will fall into Titans...
A lot of people are rooting for a 2nd title featuring the Flash family... this would allow some villians to remain visible as direct nemises to particular Flash characters and facilitate covering the life andd times of some of the more extraneous characters. Though I'm not certain sales could support a second title.
thoughts?

Unfortunately, I dont think Wally's supporting cast (Chunk, Chyre, McGee's, Morillo, etc) will get much if any attention in the first couple of years after Rebirth. Even if theres aFlash Family title, that will probably have to include Jay, Bart, Max (assuming hes back), Wally, Wally's family.... it just doesnt seem like theres room for many other supporting cast members. Maybe in a few years once everythings settled down, but I dont see most of them in the near future.

agreed on the supporting cast... they'll probably start by fill supporting cast with JLA folks - ie heavy hitters that provide crossover to draw in new readers. They have enough "catching up" storyline potential to bring in anyone and everyone.
But where they go with the villians will be more interesting since there is so much to draw from.

Chyre, Morillo, and Ashley Zolomon would fit in well in the Barry Allen, CSI side of things. Assuming there's a degree of cooperation (or even competition) between the Central and Keystone police departments.
That said, I'd like to see the Rogues, but I'd also like to see new villains. Not just the ones Geoff introduced in Wally's series, but entirely new ones that we've never seen before.
