Word on the street (the ‘street’ being E! Online) has it that D.L. Roberts, ‘Mr. Phase’ himself, will be making a shock return to the series in episode 8! However, don’t get your hopes up D.L. fans, as it appears that this episode is a ‘flashback’, titled “Four Months Ago” (*groan*, how original!). Here’s what E!’s Kristen has to say:

We’ll be getting to know D.L.’s relatives a lot better over the coming weeks, leading up to a return appearance (in episode eight) by Leonard Roberts himself.

Kristen, being the little spoiler digger that she is, also has a few shocking details on my personal favourites, Maya and Alejandro:

I know some of you haven’t been too keen on the pair you’re calling “Nikki and Paolo” (in homage to Lost’s ill-received party crashers last season). But trust me, there’s some insanely good stuff coming up to make you get invested. For starters, Sylar will be all hooked up with Maya for at least a handful of episodes, using her for her power to kill everyone, since he’s currently a powerless puss. And then there’s the jaw-dropping moment where you find out exactly what kind of “homicidio” Maya is wanted for. Let’s just it involves a wedding and is above and beyond anything you’d think this Latina cutie-patootie could be capable of. Prepare to freak.

Wow, sounds interesting..this could allude to the momentary ‘delight’ that Maya showed in “Kindred” just before she purposefully tried to kill those cops. It seems that ‘Maya’-be there’s more to this hottie than meets the eye..
