Hayden shot to fame in the 90s as she landed roles in soap operas One Life To Live and Guding Light, though she is more famous now for her role of Claire Bennett in Heroes.

“At school I was teased a lot because I was an actor. They used to be awful,” Panettiere explained. “I went through a big period where I was tortured at school. Absolutely ripped apart. Read more & comment »

US TV network NBC is planning to air original webisodes of Chuck, The Office, and Heroes. Variety reported that once these are rolled out, more shows will follow suit starting with 30 Rock.

NBC Digital Entertainment’s Vivi Zigler stated, “We’re incredibly lucky to have such collaborative writers, producers and actors to work with.” NBC have tried the web format before and The Office ran a successful series of webisodes until the writers strike put an end to the concept.

NBC’s Ben Silverman stated, “The strike did resolve our issues with our chief creative partners. Now we have terms of business with them, we can do webisodes, integration. Read more & comment »

Heroes actress, Eriko Tamura, who played Takeo, Hiro Nakamura’s love interest in the 16th century has given up some great series three spoilers over on Sci Fi Wire.

Eriko revealed that Takeo was supposed to be transported to the present during the last series, but those scripts were never filmed due to the writers strike. However, she will be in the 21st Century this upcoming season.

“I am going to be in the present, yes,” Tamura said in the interview. “I actually had a few episodes of the script then,” Tamura said. “Suddenly, the strike happened, so we had to stop the shooting.”

Heroes stars, Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia are rumoured to be setting up house together in the near future.

Hayden has been house hunting in LA for a while now, and is said to have asked Milo, who plays Peter Petrelli in the hit Sci-Fi show, to move in with her.

A source told In Touch Weekly: “Hayden and her mother looked at several condos, mostly in the Beverly Hills area. Hayden really wants her own place.”

Heroes actress, Hayden Panettiere has revealed the reasons behind her split from Laguna Beach star, Stephen Coletti in September of last year.

She told Seventeen: “I just knew I wanted to breathe. I wanted to be single at the time. It just hit me like a tonne of bricks - this is the time I need to be with myself.”

That must be why, just a few months later she hooked up with her older, and infinitely sexier co-star, Milo Ventimiglia!

The most awful thing about series two of sci-fi TV show Heroes, is the terrible Irish accents. I have caught quite a lot of the series on youtube etc, and at the start of the second season, Peter Petrelli finds himself in County Cork, Ireland with a bunch of local criminals.

I may have been more aware of the accents, due to the fact that I myself am Irish, but they were dire and unconvincing and seriously amateurish for such a huge TV show that airs worldwide.

It seems now that the decision to hire American actors to play Irish men was a conscious decision made by the Heroes bosses, because they didn’t think the Irish actors sounded Irish enough. Read more & comment »

Heroes star Leonard Roberts revealed he’s a fan of the London Underground on GMTV this week.

The actor, who plays D L Hawkins in the sci-fi series, said he loves whipping out his Oyster card while travelling around the Capital.

“Public transport is the best way to see a city - it’s the best way to learn it. It’s my first time here and it’s been great.”

While the rest of us would rather walk through walls to get to work, Roberts, who’s staring in The Viewing Room at London’s Arts Theatre, said: “I Keep it real.

“I see people on the tube every morning asking me why I’m here?” Adding if anyone spots him, then “someone could help me with my Oyster card.”

Die hard Heroes fans had hoped that with the end of the US writers strike in sight, we may be treated to further Heroes episodes at some point this year.

Series Two is due to hit BBC Two in the next few months, but it was cut short, as the writers strike stopped the series midway.

We had hoped that once the strike ended, the missing episodes would be rushed out, there completing series two.

But Heroes actress, Hayden Panettiere revealed to Ain’t It Cool News that new shooting for series three will begin in April. It is now expected that Heroes series three will air in the US this autumn, and therefore hit our screens sometime in 2009. Read more & comment »
