Kristen Bell Joins Heroes Season 2

Yes, you read that right. Kristen Bell, the former star of the popular (but cancelled) Veronica Mars TV show, has joined the cast of Heroes Season 2 for what Variety calls a “key multiepisode arc”. This is a major Heroes coup, as the guys over at Lost were also trying to snag Kristen for their show, but it would appear she has chosen Heroes instead of getting lost on an island with some smoke monster or whatever it is is going on over there at the moment.
More about Kristen’s character:
Bell will make her first “Heroes” appearance in October. She’ll play Elle, a character described as a sexy, mysterious young lady who has ties to the supposed death of Peter, H.R.G.’s past and the future of Claire. Elle will kick off her arc by committing a serious crime, though it’s unclear whether she’s good or bad.
Wait a minute, a “supposed death of Peter”??? So I guess Peter will be missing for a couple of episodes when Season 2 begins, which will take place four months after the ending of the Season 1 finale.
I love this serial ..it is the best I ever saw ...lost,prison break.... are nothing against Heroes!! It is like ...
looks awesome, but 133 days is too long... 
I WANTED TO WATCH THE EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!P.S NATHAN DOES NOT HAVE ISSUES! 
Sorry I disagree and so do the people here, that's why 39% voted that it was HRG who shot Nathan. ...
Wasn't HRG or Peter.
Peter has loves his brother why would he do it, yes he can be influenced but his ...

Heroes snags a good (and pretty hot) actress from the clutches of the “Lost” boys.

I really don’t care about her but…
what the hell?! Peter’s “supposed” death?!
Noooooooooo~
I’ll bet big brother Nathan won’t hear of that…
Matthew on 20 August 2007:
So Heroes is now trying to get as many big names in as possible, by the looks of things. I really would like them to stop doing that, as I would hope they don’t need to…

Oh Happy Day!
Its a damn shame Veronica Mars was cancled, but at least Kristen will be back on TV!!! (instead of just narrating a trashy teen soap)
Lilithia on 20 August 2007:
I’m so happy she chose Heroes over Lost. I mean I watch both shows however I reckon Heroes suits her more. I hope people end up loving her & making her permanent cast.
Kelley on 20 August 2007:
While I’m excited about the casting news, I can’t help but think that because the role on LOST was made so public this is going to incite unnecessary LOST-Heroes comparisons. (Your snarky comments didn’t help.)
soulsteelgray on 20 August 2007:
Personally, I would’ve rather seen her on LOST than Heroes. The character she would’ve played on LOST has the possibility of becoming a series regular starting in season five whereas this character on Heroes sounds like it might be a one-shot deal.
Oh, yeah, I also echo Kelley’s comment about the LOST-Heroes comparisons. At least be mature about her choosing Heroes over LOST. She didn’t take the LOST offer because it would’ve required her to move to Hawaii.
heroes/mars fan on 5 September 2007:
I think that Kristen will do justice on heroes. She’s a great actress. just wait until she comes out. I watch both heroes and vmars religiously. I hate dat mars was cancelled. CW totally suck. Its a win win situation 4 heroes and kristen. Heroes is d best show on TV and Bell is the best actress of her generation.
I hope there will be a fight scene between elle and sylar.
SYLAR RULES

I was so excited to read this! I love Bell and since hse herself is a self-proclaimed “geek” and comic book gal, I think she will be superb (not to mention I loved “VM” and think she is great). Also, I think it is a good thing that it may only be a temporary role. She wants to get into all areas of film/tv and this is a good chance and step for her.
Bite it “Lost”…you lost big this time!

This is Awesome. Veronica Mars was a great show, and Kristen is incredible. If I wasn’t a huge fan of Heroes before, I sure am now.
