01/23 - According to creator Tim Kring, [Christopher] Eccleston's mystery man will "introduce a large element of mythology to the show. You're about to learn that there was a whole previous generation of heroes and that they had adventures of their own." A flashback episode slated for late February will explain much of their history, says Kring, and more older heroes will be revealed as the series progresses. Also factoring into the mix are two supporting players who'll see much bigger action this spring: the mind-erasing "Haitian" (Jimmy Jean-Louis) and "Radioactive Man" Ted Sprague (Matthew John Armstrong). Jean-Louis' character — who works for Horn Rimmed Glasses — finally spoke in December's winter finale. He'll reveal a mysterious agenda of his own when he starts spilling family secrets to Claire. [...] As for Armstrong, he's looking forward to getting recognized for a part he's actually playing; seems the scruffy-faced Sprague has gotten him confused with a certain advertising icon. "For the record," he says, "I am not the Geico caveman." He's also not the Spoiler Guy, either. "I'm terrified of saying too much," says Armstrong. "I'd like to have this job for a while!"
01/22 - Look for more revelations about Claire's heritage, her adoptive father H.R.G.'s ulterior motives and the exact nature of her surprising relationship with Peter. First things first: According to Adrian Pasdar, the prevailing theory about Claire and Peter is wrong. He dishes, "No, they are not brother and sister." Could they half-siblings then? Or are they cousins? Hayden Panettiere says of her character, "She's on the journey to find her biological parents." Meanwhile, we learn that Daddy Bennet (aka H.R.G.) has had more than a little past involvement with those very biological parents. Jack Coleman reveals, "Claire's mother has a power that can be dangerous to her. I'll put it this way, her power created the situation in which Claire came to be my daughter." And what about Claire's bio-dad? "The revelation will be very dramatic." Ali Larter says that, "When we pick up, my character Niki has turned herself in to jail. During that time in jail she battles herself to see which side gains control, but by the time she gets out one of them has definitely taken control." Co-executive producer Jeph Loeb revealed there's a lot of story tied up in Niki's return to the streets. "The circumstances of how she gets out are part of the surprise of what's to come, and then how that collides with Matt is pretty special." Loeb continues, "The two collide in the most unexpected way. What's fun is, how does a cop who reads minds deal with someone whose mind is completely out of control? It's a very special group of episodes where the two of them are running around… They are amazing to watch, and they have a battle that is really, really ugly. She kicked the hell out of him. It's the greatest." Adrian Pasdar dishes, "There is a big union between the [my character and Nikki] in the future. We come together in a huge way, but it's not what you expect. There is something that bonds us together, and it's shiny, it's fast, and it's deadly." Sendhil Ramamurthy told me about his ever-questing character Mohinder Suresh, "Right now, he is on the search for the people on the list… He has 36 names on the list, and he has the city they live in, but that's about it. Sylar is after all of them, and the main goal is to find these people, warn them, and then try and explain to them that there is something that can be done with their powers." And how goes the mission? Sendhil says, "I get in contact with a lot of people in the first three episodes back." As for the future of his character, Sendhil says Mohinder is changing, and for the better. "You will see ballsier Suresh than you have seen in the first half of the season. I think it was a conscious decision among the writers, and I couldn't be happier about it." Tawny Cypress told me about beautiful Simone, "You will see my character start to believe, because she hasn't believed for so long—and she will get to play with the guys a little bit more." Santiago Cabrera told me about his character's art, "There are some great paintings you will see, and Isaac starts getting concerned with the paintings he's already painted, like the exploding man. And we see the dream where Peter starts thinking that he is the bomb, so there is a search for that bomb — lots of searching for clues." Greg Grunberg says, "Ted comes back in a huge way, and the story is about us working together… he's really ready to explode at any time." Source: Kristin on E!
