Larter Reveals Heroes Secrets
Ali Larter—who plays Heroes' troubled Niki Sanders and her kickass doppelganger, Jessica—revealed that one of her personalities takes over—or perhaps the two merge into a new one—in the March 5 episode, "Parasite." "One of the things that [series creator] Tim [Kring] was saying that we're kind of letting out was [that] one of the characters definitely takes control of me," Larter said in an interview over the weekend at San Francisco's WonderCon. "You'll see Monday."
Larter remained coy about which personality prevails, but squealed when asked if Niki dies, as rumored: "I don't know! You have to watch on Monday!" Larter added: "[One of them is] definitely the one that's taking control. And we're really moving into a merging of the two characters."
Larter also revealed that the first season's final episodes will bring everything to a head, with a convergence of the main characters. "We're going in to shoot the finale, which I can't believe it; I mean, we're going to start shooting it in a couple weeks," Larter said. "The two-hour finale, and all the characters are going to be coming together and meeting each other, and, you know, there's definitely, like, a desperate tone in the air, and ... the stakes are really high. So people are taking on different powers. Milo's [Ventimiglia] character [Peter Petrelli] is taking them [on]. Sylar's [Zachary Quinto] [is] taking them [on], and, you know, it's definitely going to be good versus evil."
Meanwhile, Jeph Loeb, co-executive producer of the hit NBC series, told an audience at WonderCon that the season's final episodes will wrap up the arc of the first season and answer all the questions raised in the pilot. The finale will also seal the fates of some characters, while raising new questions and leaving open a number of cliffhangers leading into the second season, for which the producers are already preparing, he added. Heroes airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT. NBC is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM —Patrick Lee, News Editor
