Heroes Season 3 News: Kristen Bell, Villains, and Production
By Sam | February 27, 2008 (11:45 am) | More: Cast: Kristen Bell (as Elle), Heroes Season 3 Spoilers/News
There are probably only two or three Heroes viewers out there who doesn’t love the addition of Kristen Bell to the show as the unstable Elle. The latest news round-up from Michael Ausiello over at TV Guide is that although Kristen Bell is not officially signed on for Season 3, Tim Kring and company are actively trying to sign her on for another season, and considering how much Bell has mentioned that she loves the show, and loves working on it, this should get done pretty quick, and we can expect to see Elle in Season 3, alright. More Heroes Season 3 news below.
From Ausiello’s column:
Question: I have a Heroes question: Are they going back to work on new episodes in the spring, even if they will not air until the fall? Is that how NBC is able to order more than 22 for next season? — Pat
Ausiello: Nothing gets by you, Pat. Yes, Heroes is tentatively slated to start production on Season 3 on May 1 — more than two months ahead of schedule. As a result, the show could have as many as 10-13 episodes already in the can by the time it returns in September.Question: I’m so sad to hear that Heroes isn’t returning until the fall. Do you have any idea what we can expect for next season? — Holly
Ausiello: Let’s just say that over the next few months the show’s casting offices will be filled with actors who are very good at being very bad.
Tim Kring didn’t call Volume 3 “Villains” for nothing, you know, and if you’ve seen the Jules Verne Festival preview clips, than you know “Villains” is going to be loaded with bad guys. But hey, at least we have Kristen Bell to help us out…

I like Kristen and I hope that she will sign new contract but in my opinion she did not contribute much to the show like people are saying.

I love heroes it’s fantastic, but i wish you wouldn’t mention the writers strike as it reads as though their actions have caused you some great inconveniece. I think that their right to equal pay is thoroughly justified. Furthermore I would rather see fairness and equality observed and wait a little longer for the next series, than have their talents exploited. Whether this be true or not I would be careful as to who you blame for such such setbacks as it seems unlikely that so many writers would strike unless they themselves have suffered some form of injustice.

I think kristen bell was kinda funny and done a great job like all the heroes cast and production staff do but my favourites still remain the bennets. p.s. I don’t trust west 1/ he a pervert and he is not as good of a guy as he seems and I think is related to the company.
Maura on 28 February 2008:
I agree with 311. Kristen didn’t really contribute much more than diva behavior. That is probably not a far stretch from what she is like in real life. Did anyone see the article where Adrian Pasdar is quoted as saying the people hired to play the Irish characters in Cork aren’t from Ireland? They hired people who can do a “hokey enough brogue” because the producers felt the Irish people they auditioned didn’t sound “Irish enough” Sheesh!

im not trying to defend kridtin bell because i dont even watch veronica mars. i only see her in heroes. but how do u know that she is like that in real life. and the diva behavior, ur opinion. plus, she could have had to act like that.

! just want 2 know the exact time and date the show will air. P.S- I think kristen bell portrays her part well
MABK on 1 March 2008:
Agreed that Kristen Bell portrays her role as Elle very well, I kind like her character little by little, at the begining in her debut on 2×05 i kind of hated her, until 2×08 i feel asame of her, in 2×09 we see that she is similar to Claire but opposite, like HRG said, that if Claire was handed to the COMPANY she could be the same as her, in 2×10 is shown truly that she still doesnt differ between good and evil, she is kind a lost child, and finaly in 2×11 a kind of liked her, because when HRG tell her about her as a lab-rat and she doesnt remember, and enters Bob’s office and looks for her file, and is empty, almost if like she doesnt exist, now her quest is to look for woho she is… and i hope the idea of her and Claire being sisters becomes true…
Hope she stays long enought, dont waste her, but bad for her because Pete’s irish girl whant to kill the bit@@ for killing her brother…, hope Elle is forgiven :(.
