As previously reported, Ali Larter WILL return for Heroes season three.

However, Kristin from E! Online has made it clear that the explosion Niki Sanders was caught in to end season two put an end to that personality.

This fire killed off Niki. But fans should get ready for... Tracy?

So, who will Larter be portraying? A whole new personality we haven't seen before: Tracy Strauss.

No details yet on the character - but we bet she's blonde and beautiful!
