Hayden Panettiere, who stars as invincible teenager Claire Bennett in NBC's Heroes, told fans that the show goes back into production for its second season on June 19—and that her character may get a new boyfriend. "I am so excited, I can't tell you" Panettiere said in a panel discussion at Philadelphia Wizard World on June 16. "People ask if it's fabulous to be on a little break for hiatus and getting some time off, but every single actor cannot wait to get back to the show. It's more stressful not being on the show than being there every single day, all day long."
With fans keen to know what's to come with Claire and the other characters, Panettiere offered a few tidbits for the audience to savor. "I may get [a boyfirend] in the second season," she said coyly. "I was like [to the writers], 'Dudes, OK! That's it! Everyone else on the show has a love interest, and I don't get one? I killed my first one ... unfortunately."
While Claire was left standing in the season finale, the superpower-sucking villain Sylar (Zachary Quinto) was mortally wounded, yet disappeared. "I had someone say something so ridiculous to me the other day after the finale," Panettiere said with a laugh, referring to the epilogue in the finale, where a trail of Sylar's blood leads to a manhole cover, on which a cockroach rests. The scene is meant to recall the pilot, which referred to the insects as evolutionarily superior. "They said, 'So Sylar turns into a cockroach?' I was like, 'Wow. Wow.'"
During the hiatus, Heroes: Origins will fill the gap between new seasons. "They are creating that show, which will be four to six episodes," she said. "When you see the map [that documents the whereabouts of others with superpowers], there are pictures of people on it, so that show will be telling their stories for a little while."
As for Claire’s journey in season two, Panettiere said: "This past year has been a growing year for me. She started off as this very naive girl, and she's learned to stand on her own. I'm looking forward to seeing her somewhere new, with different people and continuing her growth and development. I'm sure she'll dodge every curveball that comes her way. What [the producers] said to me about the show was that the first season was what happens when ordinary people discover extraordinary abilities. This season is what happens when extraordinary people try to be ordinary again." Heroes returns to NBC this fall in its regular timeslot, Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT. —Tara DiLullo Bennett
