The more the merrier.

Days after "Californication" co-star Madeline Zima was cast to play Claire Bennet's (Hayden Panettiere) college roommate Gretchen in a multiepisode arc, Claire got herself yet another roommate.

"Days of Our Lives" co-star Rachel Melvin has been tapped to guest star and potentially recur on "Heroes" next season, playing Annie, who also will share sleeping quarters (and maybe more) with Claire.

Melvin, who left "Days of Our Lives" in March after four years, recently earned her second Daytime Emmy nomination for her role as Chelsea Brady on the daytime drama.

She's pretty!

She kinda looks like Rachel Bilson

The "maybe more" thing seemed to be hinting that her character's gay well at least that's how it came across to me, which could be cool, but I don't get why they are so desperate for Claire to have a gay friend, I mean Zach was meant to be gay, but they dropped it, April was supposed to be a lesbian and they dropped it, it just seems like they want a token to me.

They probably want to do that whole "gay person and super powered person coming out of the closet" parallel that they were hoping to do with Zach.

So she changes into a superhero outfit in the closet. Interesting.

Um, I LOVE THIS WOMAN.

After not watching for over a year, I finally have a reason to start watching again.
