WHAT LIES AHEAD: Sylar holds the Bennets hostage. Get ready for a squeal-worthy, edge-of-your-seat episode next week, because Zachary Quinto (Sylar) is not messing around. And Mama Bennet is gonna have a rude awakening about what her beloved Rim Job (aka Horn-Rimmed Glasses, aka Mr. Bennet) has been up to all these years.
Radioactive Guy is coming back.
Rena Sofer (Nathan's wife) is also coming back. She told me at the Fox party (doing press for that other amazing show she's on, 24) that "they just called," so we see her closer to the end of the season. She also said cryptically of her character's future, "Next time you will see me in a wheelchair, but who knows?"
Something tells me Eric Roberts is playing Linderman. Call it a hunch.
As for the biggest reveal coming up in February sweepsthe identity of Claire's fatherwell, let's just say that, just like mommy, her daddy also has an ability. And it is truly an amazing twist!
BEHIND-THE-SCENES TIDBIT: By the way, there's a reason Leonard Roberts (D.L.) is wearing long sleeves in every scene. He told me he recently went on a crazy, high-speed bike ride in Malibu with his good friend Adrian Pasdar and had an accident that almost killed him. Yikes! His forearm and elbow are still a sight to behold (yes, he was kind enough to show me). It's pretty obvious Adrian is a "work hard, play hard" kinda guy (remember my story of Masi suffering dehydration after going on a hard-core hike with him?). And his castmates love him for it!
