Oh, relax. It’s only for one episode, and it won’t affect Glee at all. In fact, had the actress’ whimsical Fox series not already wrapped production on its initial 13-episode order, she wouldn’t have been available to do it. But it had, so she was.
Anyway, back on Heroes, Mays will reprise her role of Charlie, Hiro’s ill-fated love interest. As the dying time-traveler zips back and forth through the ages to accomplish his bucket list… well, isn’t it safe to assume that saving his almost-sweetheart would be pretty high on the list? That’s what I thought.
What do you think? Does the thought of Mays back on Heroes make you Glee-ful? Sound off below. (Additional reporting by Andy Patrick)










love her
Holy crap, so Masi Oka would really be the one to leave the series??? Oh my…
Way to kill off EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER NOT NAMED PETRELLI/BENNETT/SYLAR (and stay dead).
Ironic, since Nathan-proper died in the season finale. And given the body turf-war this season, I bet Pasdar is done after this season.
I can’t see how it would happen, but I hope Nathan/Adrian Pasdar stays. It’s my guess too that he’s the one being killed off this season. But I hope I’m wrong. He’s my favorite character!
for serious!!!
Oh please Cookie, you know that noone ever dies on Heroes
But I really love this spoiler
I always had the feeling, the story of them didnt really end well … also it gets back to something from season 1 almost everybody loved so well done Kring (for the first time in 3 years)
I loved Hiro and Charli’s short lived relationship and I hope he gets some closure. I hope he doesn’t die. I love HIRO!!
Great News! Jama was fantastic as Charlie on the first season of _Heroes_. Glad to see that see will make a return appearance.
the only episode of heroes i will be watching this year
ditto that
Totally Agree. Though I have to say it does display everything that’s wrong with Heroes. Charlie’s death in Season 1 was so heart breaking because the character had so much potential. Not seeing it fulfilled hurt. So them bringing her back as a cheap stunt, to me, shows the short sighted thinking that has led Heroes to where it’s at today.
i agree
Fantastic news! I really loved the brief romance between Hiro and Charlie.
He’ll finally get to kiss Charlie. Awes. Happy
all they need is kristen bell back and then its back to that 1st season magic
Ironic, since Kristen Bell wasn’t in the first season. But I do love her, too.
seriously? do you have to use the word “ironic” in every response?
Not only do you use Ironic in your posts, but you also use it incorrectly. Why is either of those things ironic?
ha ha, thank you both for calling him out on the ironic thing. i think someone has been taking lessons on irony from alanis.
@Bdoll
It’s situational irony, i.e. something happens that is greatly different from what we expect to happen.
Actually, to be precise, situational irony is irony in which the character can’t see the “something happening that is greatly different from what we expect” but the audience can — in other words, the audience is in on details the character him or herself is not. Just sayin’.
I have a good feeling about this season, not that cluster-F of last season was anything to brag about.
You gave me a heart attack! At least, until I read the sentence beneath the headline. I love Jayma Mays but have never seen Heroes, so maybe this will be just the motivation I need to check it out…
If you’re going to become a Heroes fan, watch the first season and then skip right to the new one. The second and third seasons are the biggest waste of your time pretty much ever.
I’m one of the Season 2 supporters, the visual effects were the best of all seasons. And the photography was cooler, in my opinion.
Her character on Heroes was named Charlie? Wasn’t her character on Ugly Betty also called Charlie? Kind of weird for someone with such a limited tv career.
Yes, having the same name in both series was very weird, especially since they were quite close together.
I wish that anything about Heroes made me feel anything. I so loved Season 1. The decline of interesting stories is the most stunning since 1990-91′s Twin Peaks.
Heroes?
Who cares?
Wasn’t that her character’s name when she did an episode of ‘Pushing Daises’?
Nope. On PD, her name was Elsita.
It was on Ugly Betty. Her character’s name is also Charlie.
Good, they should never have killed her off. While her death wasn’t the main thing that caused Heroes to go off track, it was a mistake that presaged a bunch of other mistakes so I’m glad to see them rethink it.
