Jessica Collins Joins Heroes as the Mysterious Sophie

The latest cast addition to Heroes Season 2 comes via the Hollywood Reporter, who reports that actress Jessica Collins has joined the growing cast of Heroes. She will play Sophie, described as “a mysterious woman with powers who works at the organization that is tracking all heroes.” Hmm, I wonder if she used to work with HRG, and if so, what kind of history does she have with him? Or maybe she’s Thompson’s replacement?

Or, more importantly, does the fact that Tim Kring is introducing a new attractive female with powers, and who also works for The Company, mean that Missy Peregrym will definitely NOT return to Heroes?
