Will Shalim Ortiz Return for Season 3?

Let’s face it, when Shalim Ortiz’s Alejandro Herrera took one for the team at the hands of the evil Sylar, didn’t we all wish it was the other Herrera who had been shanked instead? After all, Alejandro was kind of cool, and didn’t endlessly whine and act like a clueless dweeb. In any case, what does Shalim Ortiz have to say about his character possibly returning from the dead in Heroes Season 3? And hey, don’t say it can’t happen. Nathan was supposed to die how many times now, or HRG for that matter?
Shalim Ortiz was attending an event TV Guide threw for their “Sexiest” issue, and someone managed to get him to talk a little bit about Heroes Season 3. He wouldn’t confirm that he was coming back (or not), but he did seem to indicate that the possibility existed, or else why would he be so against talking about it?
Here’s the interview:








Maybe this is the male character “we thought was dead who will reappear and make us wonder whether he is dead or not” (rough paraphrase from spoiler).
Yeah, I would have preferred Maya to die a lot more than Alejandro, but I don’t want him to come back that much. Instead Maya’s story should just continue with Suresh, Parkmen, and Molly.
He was really cool, but he shouldn’t be brought back. No one will take death on Heroes seriously anymore, which will be no fun. Besides, how will he be brought back? He doesn’t have healing powers. The only one who could heal him (that has been previously seen) was Linderman. He went bye-bye. I guess there’s going to be another new character.
Also, why does everyone hate Maya so much? She was kinda cool.
He might be a ghost…
^Yeah, he doesn’t need to come back from the dead (or, you know, miraculously recover from his pin-cushioning in spiteful defiance of Molly’s GPS death diagnosis) for the actor to return. It could be a flashback, memory, hallucination, dream, vision from somebody with the ability to facilitate it, etc, etc, etc. OR he could be undead, stuck between the mortal and heavenly plans due to unfinished business—namely, smacking his sister upside the head. Probably would like a word with Gabe too, but that can wait.
I was so irritated when they came on the air, they seemed completely irrelivant other than a taxi ride for sylar. I’d have preferred them both die. Just didn’t like the characters or the story thats all.
it may be connected with his ability….as we dont know what exactly he had.
