09/11 - According to Tim Kring, all the new characters fold into existing main character storylines, rather than having their own stories right off the bat. Hiro and Ando are together again, on a quest for the mysterious "Formula" (the significance of which will be explained in episode five). According to Lee, their mission takes them to Bora Bora, Zimbabwe and lovely downtown Bakersfield, Calif. According to Ali Larter, there is "something of a scientific basis" for the explanation of how Niki (who was killed in a fire in the season-two finale) and Tracy Strauss (her current character) appear to be identical. According Malcolm McDowell, it was Linderman who recruited the Speedster to be a minion of evil. Source: Kristin on E!Online

09/09 - Matt Parkman's future is drawn for him by an African bushman, and in the world's future, the sky is full of people who can fly. Source: Kristin on E!Online

09/09 - [Zachary Quinto] confirmed that [his pre-evil alter ego Gabriel] Gray will return this season, revisiting the "shades of that character as you first saw him." [...] In "Volume 3: Villains," creator Tim Kring intimates that by using Gray, the show will continue to "peel the layers off of that onion as long as this character exists on the show." Source: TV Guide Online

08/26 - According to Zachary Quinto, Sylar's baby mama is "silver-tongued and alive." [... Peter and Nathan will find out they have another relative and] it is someone we know, and here's what I just learned that's even more shocking: Peter and Nathan will discover they have not one but two living relatives they weren't aware they had. One shocker will come earlier in the season. The other a little later. Source: Kristin on E!Online

08/24 - I'm hearing of not one, but two scorchingly hot new hookups (one platonic, one not) among the characters we already know and love. [...] According to insiders, producers are forging a new über-couple between two Heroes regulars in season three-Maya and another Hero-which will serve as a major story arc and which will prove to be a powerful combination. [...] Mr. Bennet is forming a surprising, platonic partnership with a certain head-splitting baddie who may or may not go by the name of...you got it... Sylar. [... Jack] Coleman revealed that Clairebear will be "a little more clued in as to what I'm up to. She actually sees what it is I do, and it gets pretty gnarly." [...] I can tell you that the huge reveals in the first few episodes include Sylar can-opening the head of a Hero we love, Sylar revealing definitively whether he plays Hannibal the cannibal with those brains, Mama Petrelli revealing something that changes the entire dynamic between many of the main characters (this is what I'm most excited about), Nathan Petrelli finding God and Peter is so not being himself. [...] [William Katt]'ll play a villain of the worst kind: A...I hope you're sitting down for this.. reporter . Actually, his character's name is "Reporter," and from what I hear, he has no special powers to speak of, other than his awesomely spherical 'do. In the second hour of the season premiere, we'll see Katt's character harassing Ali Larter's new character, Tracy Strauss, asking her about photos he found of her on lasvegasniki.com (back when Ali was Niki and Niki was a stripper). Tracy denies any connection, and my sense is, she honestly doesn't know of any. Source: Kristin on E!Online

08/24 - The season premiere kicks off with future Claire trying to shoot future Peter to stop him from going back in time and committing a murder. Explosive events at the Company land matriarch Angela Petrelli in a new and powerful position.

"He injects himself with the serum he developed to cure Maya and doesn't know hot to control it," reveals [Sendhil] Ramamurthy. "It becomes a real Jekyll-and-Hyde thing." [...] Mohinder and Maya will have some extremely steamy encounters this fall -- a first for the show. Source: TV Guide

08/24 - In [an] episode's glimpse at a possible future, our favorite villain [Sylar] is living a pretty normal life. [Zachary] Quinto explained, "What was the Bennet house is now inexplicably my house." He also went on to drop this bombshell, "My son's name is Noah. Isn't that interesting?" That's right -- Sylar has a son in the future and he named him Noah! Quinto would not say who his son's mother is, but when asked if the spawn of Sylar inherited any of his father's powers, he did have something to share. "My son actually is a gifted child. He's very subdue and cool both as an actor and a character." Source: Comic Book Resources
