USA Today Article re last night's Heroes

[heidi]

From the article:

The 30-year-old actress has been in tears on and off ever since show creator Tim Kring informed her in December of Simone's fate. "My story line just wasn't there," she acknowledges. "They just couldn't figure out where to go with Simone."

Several possible story lines for Simone were discussed but never materialized. "They tossed around the idea of making Simone an evil HRG (horned rim glasses), just like Claire's father, Mr. Bennet. At another point, I was going to become pregnant," she says.

No storyline. Fan predictions got that right.

I'm glad they didn't take the pregnancy approach, although it would have meshed well with the Linderman Breeding Program theories. It would have reduced her to being a walking uterus and there would have been a huge subplot about whether Isaac or Peter were the father, and one Petrelli siring kids out of wedlock was probably enough for the producers, and had they done that plotline twice we all would have been shaking our heads - you shouldn't reuse the same plot twice in the same season, right?

So long, Simone - maybe you'll end up on BSG someday.

1) Is that Forehead Garner in your icon?

2) I already miss Simone. Simone & Peter FOREVER!

3) Stan Lee last night - cool. Cooler than 'X-Men 3' 'Spider-Man,' 'Daredevil...' 'Who Wants To Be A Superhero?'

I'm glad Simone didn't turn out to be evil/affiliated with HRG like Eden.

I'm sorry she's dead, but if she had been pregnant there would have been huge issues about the father. Of course, Peter and Isaac will have terrible issues now anyway. *shrugs*

She would be awesome on BSG or SG: Atlantis or something.

Poor Simone. And the actress really seemed like she could have handled meaty material, but alas it never materialized. But the ideas they were throwing around, I'm not too impressed by, so in the end maybe it is better that she passed on. But I liked her and I am sad to see her go anyways.

Yes, go to BSG.

I'm glad they didn't go those other routes. At least her death sets up some nice potenial man-angst (mangst!) for both Peter and Isaac. As if Peter needs more reason to act emo, but still. :)
