There’s a great interview over at comicbookresources.com, with Hayden Panettiere, where reveals some insight into what her character has in store for season 2. In particular she comments on her own personal hopes for ‘Claire’ and how the character has evolved.

As to how Claire has changed between Season One and Two, Panettiere said, “I think she really grew up. If you guys don’t have kids or haven’t noticed, teenagers are selfish, and I will vouch for that. She wanted what any teenager would want, she wanted to be normal, she wanted to be popular, she wanted to date the quarterback of the football team. And over time she realized that by dismissing her power like that, that she was risking a lot of people’s lives, and that there was so much more she could do if she just came to terms with that. And she just really evolved, really grew up, learned to stand her own and stick up for herself. She matured, and hopefully she’ll keep doing that.”

In other news Syfy Portal report that Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura in Startrek, will be a recurring character for about 5 to 6 episodes in Season 2 of Heroes.

This all explains what Tim King, the program’s creator and executive producer, meant when he recently told E! Online he was looking “for another face that will have a very similar impact” on fans as Takei’s casting did.
