Former ‘Heroes’ Sign on For New Pilots
It’s pilot season in Hollywood and every day we are hearing about another show that has added cast. Several former Heroes regulars and prominent guest stars are among the names that have been mentioned. Here’s a rundown:
Dania Ramirez (Maya Herrera, seasons 2 and 3) has been added to cast of ABC’s untitled Daniel Cerone drama which centers on a detective who gets help from his brilliant 11 year old brother. Brad William Henke and Patrick St. Esprit will also star.
Tawny Cypress (Simone Deveaux, season 1) has joined CBS’ drama House Rules. The show will tell the story of the freshman class of Congress. Cypress will play a former servicewoman who was stationed in Iraq. Sean Bridgers will also star a congressman from Georgia who won a recount.
Jayma Mays (Charlie Andrews, season 1), Jessalyn Gilsig (Meredith Gordon, seasons 2-3) and Dianna Agron (Debbie Marshall, season 2) have all joined the cast of Fox’s Glee, which has already received a series order. The comedy series focuses on Will (Matthew Morrison), a thirtysomething Spanish teacher at an Ohio high school who has the daunting task of taking over the school’s glee club, which has become a haven for outcasts.

Guess this means Maya and Meredith aren’t coming back

Lame. Glad they’ve found opportunities elsewhere, but logically speaking, there’s a very probable chance Meredith would have actually survived that fire (being immune to fire and whatnot). I’d have loved to seen her come back.
