... we'll always find a good excuse to post photos of Eliza, eh?

:-D

 There is always Natasha Lyone

But that, of course, has been done before... there is also Summer Glau but I´m not sure I could see her as... well... sane.

Honestly, I just don´t know. I´m not so erm... into the whole young wave of actresses at the moment.

Can´t wait to find out what you all think!

Summer Glau would be a pretty good choice. The cheerleader could be a bit insane.

And Eliza can play a teenager, as long as she plays a cheerleader. And even better, a gay cheerleader. Besides, Missy was SO gay.

But I'm sure Olivia Wilde would do a great job . Besides she would look hot as a cheerleader.

Except Missy Peregrym is already a recurring cast member on Heroes. Maybe Candace was once a cheerleader?

Tina Majorino. Alona Tal. Alia Shawkat, for extra snark.

oooh, you got me With Eliza, Mandy and Missy there already lol

I don't even watch Heroes.  I decided after the pilot I would be watching it on DVD all in one shot.  I couldn't take another Lost type epic show at the time. 

However, Kristen Bell could kick ass and take names.  I'd tune in.  Again kind of old if the cheerleader is indeed a highschool student.  Any chance the cheerleader could be a college girl?  Or is she a classmate of the original cheerleader?

Why is there going to be a gay cheerleader?  It's good but I don't see how it fits into the storyline unless they create a sub-story for her.  I'm down with Eliza Dushku.

I can't wait until Season 2.  It's gonna be awesome!

Does this mean there going to make up for Zack by Bi-ing up Claire?

A lesbian character on my favourite show. That’s the best thing that could happen. On the after Elton post it does say they were going to add an actual character, so I’m confident it’s going to be more then just a one off thing. 

I know there was a bit of a furore on Zack supposedly being gay and then he wasn’t, but really, how many other prime time non comedy shows can claim to have Asian, Indian and African American characters in their main cast, with significant story lines. I think even without a gay character they’re doing an exceptionally good job of representing minorities, especially if AfterElton is correct about the Latino, African American, Japanese and Irish characters Heroes is planning on adding. 

Hmmm, how about Kristen Bell? She might be a bit old but I totally vote for her to be the gay cheerleader.

Wait, are there even more rumours about SoN getting less gay?

And yeah it'll be nice if Heroes cleans up their image a bit with a real gay character but gay cheerleader sounds pretty damn sweepsy to me.

I like is probably too old to be considered. If they've got to be a teenager (because you know, what's wrong with a 40-year-old reliving her youth) then I'd go for someone unknown. Or I'd go for Renee O'Conner.

Sounds like a job for Kristen Stewart.

 I have to wonder too, is this lesbian character for permanent? or just a one show deal?...and when they say "lesbian"...how will they portray such a characteristic in the person in the show? like...a kiss/love- scene? in her clothes? in her manner?

...someday, I'm going to meet the woman who's going to look at me, and say to herself: "she's the one for me..."

i love heroes. i'm so hooked to it (as i was with the uncanny xmen series) i do hope they put a good storyline and not just for sweeps. i knew that hayden p. has some gay vibe in her since her ally mcbeal days (character-wise) so maybe or hopefully she'll hook up with the lesbian cheerleader. 2 cheerleaders together, hmm... seems like fodder for the male crowd. but i'm remaining optimistic.

so is it gonna be, save the lesbian cheerleader, save the queer world?

You know, these TV rumors are usually false with an element of truth to them. I think there will be a lesbian character, but not necessarily a teenage lesbian cheerleader.

I mention Clea DuVall as someone who's already on Heroes as FBI agent Audrey Hanson. Don't know if the character isn't gay. And the actress has played a lesbian and a cheerleader.
