Heroes

Heroes producers Joe Pokaski and Aron Coliete recently spoke about characters and storylines to come.

Here's a summary of the main plot points we took from their latest interview:

• Rebel has a phone and can text. (Thanks, guys!)
• Claire and Sylar will have a talk in the finale of Fugitives. The topic? Immortality.
• We will see another use of Ando’s power by episode 20. 
• Two Pushing Daisies alums will appear this season: Swoozie Kurtz will be appearing as a new character and Ellen Green will be reprising an old one.

While last night's episode of Heroes focused almost entirely on one storyline - a very welcome change, in our opinion - next week will fold a few other characters back into the mix.

Based on the latest from E! Online, here's what fans can expect next Monday:

• No appearances by Hiro and Ando again;
• The return of Rebel;
• Rumblings of a divorce between Noah and Sandra Bennet;
• New memories for Sylar, as he recalls details of his childhood before he was given up for adoption.

Who would divorce HRG? We love this guy!

On the March 2 episode of Heroes, Claire takes her relationship with Alex to another level... literally!

Following their introduction last week, Claire and this comic-book geek will grow closer over the next couple episode.

When asked by E! just how close his character gets to Claire, actor Justin Baldoni said the burgeoning couple will take advantage of his gill-like abilities via an underwater kiss on the episode "Exposed."

"I can breathe underwater," Baldoni said of the make out session pictured below. "It's every guy's fantasy to have a superpower, and I'm so happy I got this part."

As Heroes viewers witnessed last week, Claire has a friend: a comic book store employee named Alex (Justin Baldoni).

Alex was wanted by HRG because of his ability to breathe underwater. Fortunately, he escaped with Claire - and will soon use this power to exciting use!

According to E! Online, Alex and Claire will share a steamy underwater kiss in the March 2 episode, "Exposed." Check it out below.

"I can breathe underwater," Baldoni said. "It's every guy's fantasy to have a superpower, and I'm so happy I got this part."

Let's take a look ahead to Monday's new episode of Heroes.

The installment is titled "Cold Wars" and it focuses on the interrogation of HRG by Parkman, Peter and Mohinder.

Here are a series of pictures from the episode. Click on each for a larger image:

The following rumor seems like a wild Heroes spoiler - but, hey, the show has put Hiro through far less logical storylines.

A casting call has reportedly gone out for a (very) young actor to take on the role of Matt Parkman... as a baby.

The following photo lends credence to this possibility, as Hiro and Ando supposedly go back in time and rescue their friend. Sigh. We hope we're wrong about what this image depicts...

On next week's episode of Heroes, Parkman interrogates HRG and Peter comes face-to-face with The Hunter.

Here's a clip from the installment, which is titled "Cold Wars."

Two Heroes producers, Aron Coleite and Joe Pokaski, recently answered a handful of questions from fans.

Among the storylines and spoilers they revealed, the producers said...

• Micah will return;
• Daphne's fate will be focused on next week;
• Regarding Peter's new, different, confusing abilities: "He’s still trying to get a handle on his powers. Just like during the first season, it’s gonna take him some time to get a handle on these powers."

Last night's episode of Heroes introduced viewers to a new friend for Claire - and, sadly, yet another drawn out, unnecessary trip around the world for Hiro.

Still, we maintain hope for this volume. Don't give up yet, readers!

Thanks to E! Online, here's a look ahead at next week's episode, which will include a special interrogation and news about a not-so-dead character...

• Forget water boarding. Next week, we'll see what sort of interrogation techniques Matt Parkman possesses when he works his magic to pull secrets out of H.R.G.'s head;
• Is Daphne really dead? We're about to find out;
• First, New York City almost blew up; then Costa Verde was meant to explode in the future; Now, Washington D.C. is in danger. On Monday, we'll learn more about why and how our nation's capitol is in trouble.

Relax, Parkman. Rumors point to Daphne actually being alive (this is Heroes, remember?).

Tracy Strauss is in serious trouble.

Viewers that watched the conclusion of last week's Heroes episode - the second installment of the fairly promising fourth volume of the series - saw Ali Larter's character bound, gagged and possibly drugged.

Things don't look to be getting much better for Tracy on Monday night, as the following image is taken from the show's upcoming episode, "Building 26."

Are Ali Larter's days on Heroes coming to an end? Find out the answer to that question and more via this set of Heroes spoilers!
