More about Nichelle Nichols’ Character on Heroes

Here are the details about Nichelle Nichols’ character in the upcoming Season 2 of Heroes, courtesy of TVGuide. The character will show up on the fourth episode of Season 2, and she will play “Nana, a New Orleans doyenne whose daughter died during Hurricane Katrina.”

“Nana is tough and undaunted and — like the blues — she just keeps rising to the occasion,” Nichols says. The character, who is in dire financial straits, has moved back into her once-flooded home, where she cares for her two grandchildren. One of them, new hero Monica (The Nine’s Dana Davis), is an avenging angel intent on bringing justice to the corruption-plagued Big Easy. Nana is also a great-aunt to Micah, the junior hero played by series regular Noah Gray-Cabey. “Micah is sent to New Orleans to live with the family,” Nichols says. “It’s a quite marvelous, magical story, with wonderful things emerging.” Does Nana have a superpower? “Well, that remains to be seen, now doesn’t it?” coos Nichols.

So Ali Larter has mentioned that you’ll be seeing “less” of her (here), and now young Micah will be sent to New Orleans to live with his great-aunt?

Yup, it’s not looking good for D.L….
