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.
