Ali Larter – who plays Heroes’ troubled Niki Sanders and her kickass doppelganger, Jessica – revealed that one of her personalities takes over – or perhaps the two merge into a new one – in the March 5 episode, “Parasite.” “One of the things that [series creator] Tim [Kring] was saying that we’re kind of letting out was [that] one of the characters definitely takes control of me,” Larter said in an interview over the weekend at San Francisco’s WonderCon. “You’ll see Monday.” Larter remained coy about which personality prevails, but squealed when asked if Niki dies, as rumored: “I don’t know! You have to watch on Monday!” Larter added: “[One of them is] definitely the one that’s taking control. And we’re really moving into a merging of the two characters.”
Larter also revealed that the first season’s final episodes will bring everything to a head, with a convergence of the main characters. “We’re going in to shoot the finale, which I can’t believe it; I mean, we’re going to start shooting it in a couple weeks,” Larter said. “The two-hour finale, and all the characters are going to be coming together and meeting each other, and, you know, there’s definitely, like, a desperate tone in the air, and … the stakes are really high. So people are taking on different powers. Milo’s [Ventimiglia] character [Peter Petrelli] is taking them [on]. Sylar’s [Zachary Quinto] [is] taking them [on], and, you know, it’s definitely going to be good versus evil.”

Tim Kring, creator of NBC’s hit series Heroes, told SCI FI Wire that the upcoming second season will constitute a new volume in the multi-volume series, with new characters and an entirely new storyline. “If you remember, the opening of the pilot pronounced the episode as the beginning of Volume One,” Kring said in an interview. “Volume One comes to a conclusion at the end of episode 23, and Volume Two starts with the opening of season two. And Volume Two is a different story.” Kring added: “We could have new people and new storylines and new ideas and new threats and new bad guys and new heroes. So I would prepare the audience for that idea, that it’s not just a continuing serialized storyline about only these people. It’s a little more the 24 model than the Lost model.”
The first season of Heroes is exploring what happens when a disparate group of ordinary people discover they have extraordinary abilities and attempt to save New York from disaster. “Heroes needs to evolve, and if we are positing an idea that this is happening all over the world to many, many people, then we get to see some of those people and see how their story fits in.”
Kring also confirmed that some of the current heroes just might not survive this season, but added: “Many of your favorites will live to fight again.” Heroes airs on Monday nights at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Stan “The Man” Lee is set to make a cameo appearance as a bus driver in the Monday, February 19 episode of NBC’s hit drama Heroes. The episode, titled “Unexpected,” features a scene in which Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka) encounters the legendary Lee.
Tim Kring, creator of NBC’s hit SF series Heroes, told SCI FI Wire that the show’s first season will end in a cliffhanger that tees up season two, which was recently given a green light. Kring, speaking in an interview at the recent Television Critics Association winter press tour, added that the first season will resolve the current apocalyptic story arc, in which Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka) foresees a nuclear detonation in New York.
“Yes, absolutely,” Kring said. “That will be resolved in the first season.” As for the cliffhanger? “It’s not necessarily a cliffhanger in terms of what has been set up so far storywise,” he added. “It’s more of a cliffhanger as to the welfare and well-being of several of our characters. … Obviously it plays into where we kick off at the [beginning] of season two.”
Eric Roberts has joined the cast of NBC’s breakout hit Heroes, says The Hollywood Reporter. Roberts is set to play Thompson, a new associate of Claire’s father H.R.G. (Jack Coleman) on Tim Kring’s superhero drama. Roberts is joining another new addition to the Heroes cast, Christopher Eccleston, who made his debut as Claude on Monday’s episode. Monday’s episode also featured the URL PrimaTechPaper.com, which can be accessed with the code “MT36″.
