Heroes shocker: Original cast member will die soon

\<i\>Heroes\<\/i\> shocker: Original cast member will die soon

For those of you still watching, there's big news about NBC's Heroes: Someone will die!

At least that's what E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos reported:

Sources over on NBC's Heroes confirm to me that a major death is in the works, and this is not one that will go unnoticed by even the most casual fan.

It is huge.

Well ... we've heard this kind of thing before. Haven't all them died at one point or another? Only to be brought back to life? Claire? Sen. Petrelli? HRG? Peter? Matt? Niki/Jessica? She really was killed, but Ali Larter is still in the show as another character?

Who are they kidding?

Dos Santos says that the character facing the big dirt nap is male and is one of the original cast.

We're putting our money on poor Greg Grunberg's Matt Parkman, as much as we like him, as he seems to have less and less to do. That, or Zachary Quinto's Sylar, as Zack's got bigger fish to fry these days (hello, Star Trek 2?).

What do you think? Do you even care?

It's Hiro...they've been saying he's got a brain tumor all season...it's a no brainer...no pun intended.

By Joe B. at 3:06 PM ON 10/13/09

It better not be Syler...I for one would quit watching if he was gone. Same with Peter...they are by far the most interesting characters.

By OurPrecious at 3:08 PM ON 10/13/09

It's going to be a cop-out and be Ando

By starwarsfans at 3:12 PM ON 10/13/09

Have you noticed Suresh hasn't been in ALL season? It HAS to be Suresh.

By sparrows at 3:13 PM ON 10/13/09

ZQ's not part of the original cast, so it's not him. He came in in the middle of the first season as a guest star. I'm going with Adrian Pasdar.

By tbone0726 at 3:17 PM ON 10/13/09

It's Sen. Petrelli ... I just know it!!! In an upcoming clip the Senator dies and wakes up as Sylar.

By Pete at 3:20 PM ON 10/13/09

If it's the same "well respected" male regular from Ausiello's column, I would go with either Jack Coleman or Adrian Pasdar.

I don't really care for the show anymore, but I'd hate it if they made a point of killing a well liked character just to get people to tune in. Then again, they've done immensely stupid things on that show before.

By johnnyjay at 3:33 PM ON 10/13/09

Didn't Nathan already die (this time seemingly for good)? Does that count?

By Hercules40 at 3:38 PM ON 10/13/09

Umm...

This show is still on?

Wow! I totally missed that fact...

By David Dvorkin at 3:43 PM ON 10/13/09

I don't know who it is, but put me down as one fan who does care. I think this season's episodes have been engrossing.

By Eventually at 3:53 PM ON 10/13/09

Put me down as a don't care. They officially lost me as a viewer. Who cares if a character dies when none of the characters has been stable in their characterization... For example, I think they've invented a new Nathan every half a season or so. Which one will they kill? Kill em all, I say.

By lostrekkie at 3:54 PM ON 10/13/09

As long as its not Greg Grunburg. He's my favorite character on the show. He wasn't at first, but his arc with Sylar in his head has been really interesting. I could stand for Suresh, Peter, or Hiro to do though. My hope is on Suresh. He was interesting in season 1, but after that, hes annoyed me to no end.

"IM NOT A BAD GUY"-Suresh

"We're not really all that bad. Just a little bit"-Bad Guy

"Oh, well then ok. Ill help"-Suresh.

By VichusSmith at 3:57 PM ON 10/13/09

I think it'll be Noah. Really, where does he have to go from here? Hiro is too obvious.

I would like Sylar to die, even if I love him in the show. He's WAY too powerful, and there seems to be nothing that would ever stop him.

By JT at 4:06 PM ON 10/13/09

Best thing outta this season was Hayden giving tongue to Madeline Zima.

Otherwise; Meh

By Kevin at 4:14 PM ON 10/13/09

All of them.

By John-Video at 4:34 PM ON 10/13/09

They're going to kill a cast member????? Wow, I could see killing a character, but this is pretty extreme.

Seriously though, It will likely be a cop out. It could be Sylar. They could always resurrect him later if needed.

Other likely (cop out) candidates:
Suresh - Fine, who cares
Ando - Meh
Nathan - Already dead, big deal
Matt - Fine, character seems lost
Tracey - Cop out, there's still a 3rd sister for Ali Larter to play

Not likely:
Hiro - Too popular
HRG - Too popular
Claire - Too cute
Peter - They seem to really thing that the little moron is good for the show.

Man, I was really hoping this season would turn things around......

When is NBC going to shot that dog of a show? That should be the big death.

By Byron at 4:49 PM ON 10/13/09

I think this season has been really good so far. Much better than Villians. The end of last nights episode really put a good spin on where this carnival group is going and made Claire's story line much more interesting.

By byron at 4:53 PM ON 10/13/09

And to clarify, the kiss scene is not what made Claire's story more interesting, but the girl who can disappear and is working for the carnival, I did not see that coming.

By Curt at 4:54 PM ON 10/13/09

It's Hiro. Has to be. As a backup, though, I'm going with Parkman. Nathan is already dead; Ando is *meh*. Suresh is already gone - why bring him back to kill him? HRG is on the sidelines, but he's still very actrive with Claire, Ms. Petrelli and Tracey. And, to top that off, Hiro has become BLAH and only comic relief.

By creno at 5:15 PM ON 10/13/09

Dear God, please let it be Claire. Last night's episode was unbearable because of her.

By spinner at 5:41 PM ON 10/13/09

Kill the SHOW is what I say. I was a big fan until the jump the shark Claire kisses girl episode. In fact I deleted it from my DVR without even bothering to watch it. They should have made it a mini series and stopped at Season One.

By VirgilsDiner at 5:55 PM ON 10/13/09

Oh, Heroes ... will your shark-jumping never end? Still, I can't quit this show and this particular Dead Pool has me intrigued. I won't bore the uninterested with the details, but lay out odds here: http://tinyurl.com/yfo3q5u
Let the games begin!

By TrickiMicki at 6:04 PM ON 10/13/09

I think it's Hiro because of the brain tumor. Claire is way to bouncy this season and she should've known her roommate wouldn't do suicide. Suciders don't make plans.

By DarkWarrior at 6:32 PM ON 10/13/09

I agree the the girl-on girl kiss was stupid.And a huge waste of screen time but the arc is really good.The Invisible Killler girl arc which links to the Carnie story could have came across much better without questioning/challenging Clair,s sexuallity.

By Gill Avila at 6:44 PM ON 10/13/09

Can't be Hiro or Ando. In the future Hiro outgrows his accent and Hiro and Ando duke it out.

By graypilgrim at 7:38 PM ON 10/13/09

Heroes shocker: it's still on!

By bookwy12m at 7:48 PM ON 10/13/09

I for one hope it's Hiro. He is so ANNOYING! The incessant "Ya-tas!" and "I must fulfill my destiny as a hero." My hatred of him is such that I think Claire is a more interesting character! How wrong is that?!?!?

By LT at 8:50 PM ON 10/13/09

It will obviously be Matt. With Sylar in his mind, it will be a true battle of wills. On the other hand, the true death scenario will always be between Sylar and Peter. They are the same, they both collect and store powers gained by physical(Sylar) and closeness to(Peter). The true death would be with whomever is caught between them.

By Cyrus at 10:03 PM ON 10/13/09

what's sad (and one of the things that was so exciting about the show) is that this was a norm Season One. now this news sounds like it's just a pathetic death reaching out for something to do. this show was so good. what the hell happened. it's so damn disappointing. i just don't care about it anymore.

By Praetor ShinzonII at 10:24 PM ON 10/13/09

Kill them - KILL THEM ALL!

By supergurl17 at 11:40 PM ON 10/13/09

I think it's Matt: check out the twitter from Greg Grunberg:
My actual POV during shooting right now on set!! Sshh!! #Heroes http://twitvid.com/324A3

I wish it would be Claire. How you actually kill someone who is indestructible could be cool to watch. But so could have the fight at the end of last season between Peter, Sylar, and Nathan.

By Someone at 4:04 AM ON 10/14/09

Please be Peter, please, please, please!

By spda242 at 4:37 AM ON 10/14/09

Yeah, better to kill someone than try cheap tricks like girl-on-girl action. Several castmembers are insanely annoying atm so Peter,Claire,Matt,Sylar all would be good choices.
It feels like they have slowed down the tempo of the show, s4 episodes feel like Star Trek slow :( I just want to hit FF. If this is intended it's not working for me atleast.
So far s4 has been worse than s2 :(

By Robonerd at 5:56 AM ON 10/14/09

it's interesting how this is one of the longer comments lists on this site today, which seems to indicate that Heroes is still generating a lot of healthy interest in it's audience. as a viewer I, too, went through that 'i hate all these characters' phase, and i still believe I know a better way to write this show (but then i believe that about almost all the shows on at the mo, so it's probably just me), but hey, guess what? i'm still watching it! the question is: why? probably because there's so few decent Genre shows on out there with any glimpse of quality in them, I tend to hang on grimly in the hope of seeing an occasional flash of genius - like last week's Brian Fuller scripted episode was.

By Soren B at 6:41 AM ON 10/14/09

I also agree the the girl-on girl kiss being a stupid idea. I mean - /why/?...it was the most unsexy and uninterresting thing I've even seen.

They could at least make an effort if they want it to be sensational, but making an effort and being sensational is something they gave up years ago.

Kill the series.

By nate91111 at 7:33 AM ON 10/14/09

JUST KILL THE ENTIRE SHOW.
NUFF SAID

By S0mus at 8:28 AM ON 10/14/09

Nobody cares about this "channel", go back to selling cereal ya marketing whores.

By Fudgins at 10:17 AM ON 10/14/09

Kill Claire or Ali Larter's incarnation-of-the-moment. I think nikki/jessica was the worst part of season one and when she cracked into a million pieces last season I rejoiced. Letting her come back to life YET AGAIN was unforgiveable.

By elfletcho at 10:36 AM ON 10/14/09

Please god let it be Claire. I fast forward through every scene she is in. GOOD GOD PLEASE KILL CLAIRE.

By Pimenta at 11:09 AM ON 10/14/09

Kill the Cheerleader, Save Heroes!

By Pimenta at 11:12 AM ON 10/14/09

I gave up on Heroes last season. I'll start watching it again only if the lucky winner is claire.

By goddogx at 11:00 PM ON 10/14/09

why not kill the shark the next time he jumps lol.

By KeyBorg at 12:47 AM ON 10/15/09

Syfy is wasting space polling on TV vampires and they wonder if we care about this? I sure as hell care more what happens on Heroes, but since when are vamps scifi?
Anyway I say Parkman is a goner...his story arc is pretty pointless now.

By thekatwoman at 11:41 AM ON 10/15/09

JOHN-VIDEO
Thanks for the best laugh all week.
(They're going to kill a cast member?)
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

By MaryAnn254 at 8:39 PM ON 10/16/09

I hope it is Sylar. At the end of the first season, I thought he was dead and cheered. I can't stand the character, and stopped watching the show when he continued to be featured prominently. If it is Sylar, I will start watching again. If it is Peter or Matt, I will be extremely disappointed.

By wildbuf at 4:11 PM ON 10/17/09

If it's Sylar or Claire remember: "If they still have their head, they ain't really dead!"

By Yarazin at 9:56 PM ON 10/17/09

In my opinion, the #1 biggest issue with this show is that they didnt kill Sylar at the end of the first season and move on.

So, lets hope they finally kill him, but I doubt it.

By Saturn at 5:45 PM ON 10/26/09

You should be careful, I'm a strong Sylar fan. I don't want him to get killed of yet, or I will stop watching the show. I will be like so pissed off if he dies
