As always, much has been said here and there about the upcoming, much-anticipated season of Heroes. Thankfully, Kristin over at E! was able to throw us a bone this past week.

She confirms that former Veronica Mars star Francis Capra has signed on for at least three episodes on NBC’s hit show as a thug… with (of course) a power. Sad but as always, Kristin (nor anyone else for that matter) is keeping his power under wraps.

Many fans of Veronica Mars are excited to see Capra and former co-star Kristen Bell on the small screen again. E! does confirm that the pair will share at least one scene together.

MONDAY (10/22)
**No new episode of Ellen today.  She’s still recovering from all the doggy drama**

• Live With Regis and Kelly (ABC, syndicated):  Jimmy Kimmel will be pulling double-duty this week as he fills in for Regis Philbin in NY and tapes his show in LA.  (I’m guessing we’ll still be seeing him on Dancing With The Stars as well.)  If we’re lucky, Guillermo will fill in for Gelman too.
• Prison Break (FOX, 8pm):  The show returns tonight after being preempted by baseball last week.  What?  You don’t care either?
• Heroes (NBC, 9pm):  Many fans have been waiting for Kristen Bell’s debut tonight.  Unfortunately, she’s one more new character I’ll have to ignore.

‘Heroes’ Welcomes Veronica Mars

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, NBC, The CW, Heroes, Lost, Announcements

Kristen Bell, star of the now-defunct Veronica Mars, has found a new home on NBC’s Heroes.  She accepted the role after weighing another offer to be on ABC’s Lost.  Is she that good?  Apparently she smartly realized that it was best to join a series that was still on an upswing.

While Bell’s character, Elle, is still a bit of a mystery…we do know that she has ties to Peter, H.R.G and Claire.  We also know that she will have a power.  Having never been a viewer of her old show, I really know nothing about Bell—aside from her horrible rendition of ‘Fame’ on the 2005 Emmys.  Here’s to hoping her presence will not come with an equally loud thud.

Expect to see the addition of Elle this October.
