Heroes Spoilers: The Status of Niki

We just gave you a Heroes spoiler about a new actor coming aboard the show, Jamie Hector.

Now, courtesy of Kristin from E! Online, here’s information about a well-established actor/character on the series: Will we be seeing Niki again?

If you threatened to electrocute me with your lightning powers, I’d say…no. But I’d also tell you that doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of Ali Larter. I’m hearing that the plan as of the last time the writers met up (prestrike) was for Niki to be dead—but for an alter ego to take over.

Not Jessica, not the whipped-cream chick from Varsity Blues, and that leaves…come on, you can guess it! It’s someone we’ve seen before. Of course, all that is subject to change due to the current holding pattern.
