as for the still-alive person: Peter, Nathan, Sylar all fall under that catagory. though contrary to what colette said, I’d bet my left nut that issac isn’t still alive.

and for dead reacurring characters: I dunno…. candace is my best guess… I mean she did take a punch from an angry mom who’s strong enough to rip a fat mobster in half… that punch must have been like getting hit by a bus…. I mean the only other person to take a full power hit like that is sylar… he may have walked it off but lets remember he’s also the one who was shot and thrown into a fridge with enough force to dent it… and shrugged it off…

2. I agree, it’s Sylar that is presumed dead but is not. Also I have a feeling Isaac might not be dead. And Nathan Petrelli looked like he was sacrificing his life, but I don’t think he’s dead either.

3. Totally doomed recurring characters? what constitutes recurring characters, and which of them are left “doomed”? DL and Matt were both shot at the end, so you could call them “doomed” – but i wouldn’t call them recurring, I would call them regular. candice, angela petrelli, linderman, molly – those are some recurring characters, but I don’t think any of them were left “doomed”. So I don’t get this one.

So basically, I’m saying – they’re hinting at Leonard Roberts in the first statement.

The second one is obviously referring to Milo Ventimiglia/Peter Petrelli, as we have already gathered from the promos that he’s “presumed dead” by his family at the start of the season.

So that leads me to believe that the “recurring characters” are in fact RECURRING characters from the first season, which really wouldn’t be accurate if they’re referring to Greg Grunberg and Leonard Roberts, who were very much series regulars.

Also, we’ve already seen Grunberg participating as a major cast member this upcoming season, so he’s obviously not one of the two “recurring” characters either.
