October 23, 2008 - We've got some more casting news for Heroes. According to EW.com's Michael Ausiello, Aliens in America's Dan Byrd is set to join the cast of Volume Four: Fugitives as...well, someone. It isn't exactly clear which character Byrd will play, but it will either be "David, a dark and twisted kid who tells lies easily and has a cruel streak, or Alex, a Southern California surfer dude who works at a comic book shop."

Last week we received news that the amazing Zeljko Ivanek, who won an Emmy for playing the tragically flawed Ray Fiske on Damages, would be joining Fugitives as "The Hunter." Could Byrd be playing one of the "fugitives" that Ivanek is hunting? Let's just say "yes." If we believe it, it's true enough.

They should have made this one of those "vote online" things. You know, for the kids. Every actor that gets cast from now on will have their roles chosen by the Heroes fans. Sorry, Peter O' Toole. It looks like you get to be "Flatulence Man."

October 17, 2008 - As reported by Eonline's Kristin Dos Santos, NBC's Heroes is adding a bit of Emmy-Award winning classiness to its third season. Amazingly gifted Damages actor Zeljko Ivanek, who won the Emmy for "Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series", will be appearing in a ten-episode arc as a character known only as "The Hunter." Who or what he will be hunting is still something that one can chew away at on message boards.

The Hunter will appear in episode 14, which will officially kick off the next volume of Heroes...Fugitives! I can only hope that Zeljko's character is after the richest prize of them all - a believable character development. Or, if not that, then maybe a coherent plotline. Man, those are some dangerous lions to net there.

By the way, most of you will be watching Heroes anyway, so I'll use this space here to implore you to watch Damages: Season One on DVD. He really was fantazgreat. Also, it all made sense.

quote:

John Stamos once told me (after I gave his old show Thieves a, um, not so flattering review) that "judging a series by its pilot is like judging a movie by its opening credits."

So, question: Is it fair to judge a TV show's season based on the first three to four episodes?

That is the question we're presenting to you fans as Entertainment Weekly's highly controversial Heroes critique/cover story hits magazine stands today...

Writer Jeff Jensen asserts that the series is in need of major healing and retooling—an assertion some of you fans have voiced over the past few weeks, while others of you have defended the show and insist you still enjoy watching.

We've done some research among sources connected to the series and can tell you that some of the issues pointed out by E.W. appear to have already been ironed out in future episodes for which scripts have been written. The action settles into the present (no more time travel), two of our fave Heroes get intimate, and certain, less popular characters depart. Plus, as a former fan of Aliens in America (one of the few but proud), I'm pleased by my frenemy Michael Ausiello's new Heroes casting scoop today about Dan Byrd coming to the show.

Still, what I'm most curious to know is how you the fans truly feel. Is E.W.'s cover story fair? Too harsh? Too gentle? Too soon? Too late? Are you enjoying the current season or planning a Heroic breakup via your DVR?

We did notice the fan comments in this week's Heroes Redux were overwhelmingly positive compared with those from previous weeks, including, "I'm glad I stuck with this season," "This show just keeps getting better," and "I'm totally shocked at all of the nonnegative comments this week!" So maybe there is still faith to be found?

But please, take a moment to sound off below. I have a feeling people who work on the show would love to know what you're thinking right about now...

It's official. The Hayden and Milo rumors are out of control.

After multiple outlets reported the Heroes couple broke up because of their age difference (she's 19 and he's 31), the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting the two called it quits because of a pregnancy scare.

And yet, when we reached out to our own sources who work on the show, one of them told us, "They're still together." And a second insider, who was on set when they shot a scene together recently, insists, "They seemed very happy together. Actually, there was never a time when I saw them unhappy."

So what's the real story? And who's Hayden kissing now?

According to a source close to the couple, "Milo and Hayden are an intensely private couple, so everything out there in the press is speculation and hearsay. Only they know what's really going on. They never acted 'together' on set, and they still aren't acting 'together' now."

So that settles that, right? Of course not. And the rumors will keep on keeping on.

Still, as Heroes fans, we're still much more intrigued by the new hottie who's playing tonsil hockey with Hayden on the show...Aquaboy!

Last week, Clairebear (Hayden) put her own life in danger to save comic-book geek/sexy surfer boy Alex (Aquaboy), played by former Everwood hottie Justin Baldoni. We just checked in with Baldoni himself, who dished that he and Hayden will share a steamy underwater kiss in the March 2 episode, "Exposed." (Check it out in the photo above.)

"I can breathe underwater," Baldoni explains. "It's every guy's fantasy to have a superpower, and I'm so happy I got this part."

Breathing underwater is every guy's fantasy? Hello, you're making out with Hayden Panettiere!

Last week, there did seem to be a little Bonnie and Clyde-like energy. They weren't robbing banks, but they were escaping from the Man, and Baldoni told us this crisis is going to bring the two together. "There was definitely some on-screen chemistry," he said. "She's the best actress I've ever worked with, and we really connected."

Hmmm...Could there be a real-life love connection that led to the rumors of Hayden and Milo's breakup? No way. Baldoni told us he has a longtime girlfriend. So you can officially cross that theory off the list.

As for how long Fishface (Adam) will be sticking around, Baldoni said that's up to you. "We'll see what the fans think, but it's definitely a show that I would love to be a part of." So if you're digging the new Aquaman, hit the comments to keep him around. (And if you really can't resist, we suppose you can share your theories on Milo and Hayden, too.)

June 3, 2009 - It'll be Heroes: The College Years for Claire Bennet (Hayden Panettiere) this fall, as the indestructible cheerleader begins the next step in her education. The Hollywood Reporter says a new piece of casting has fallen into place for this plot turn, with Madeline Zima joining the series in a new role as Gretchen, "an edgy outsider" and Claire's dormitory roommate.

Zima is familiar to Californication fans for her regular role on that series as Mia Lewis. Zima will appear on Heroes in a recurring capacity.

Californication Star Joins Heroes

June 5, 2009 - You've gotta love our readers. As soon as we posted the story about Californication's Madeline Zima joining Heroes' Season 4 as Claire's (Hayden Panettiere) roommate – in came the comments hoping and praying for some college lesbian experimentation.

Well, true believers, you might just get your wish. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Days of Our Lives actress Rachel Melvin will also be joining Season 4 playing a character named "Annie." Annie "also will share sleeping quarters (and maybe more) with Claire." So, of course, it's the "and maybe more" in parenthesis that intrigues us.

Could they really be gearing up for a lesbian storyline for Claire?
