* CBR has revealed that Eriko Tamura, who played Yaeko in Season Two of Heroes, will be returning when the show comes back. "I really enjoyed working on that show, it’s a great show and I am going back for the third season," Tamura told CBR News. "As soon as I’m back in LA [I'll begin shooting], but I can’t talk about it." She has also revealed that her return appearance will be in the present day. (Please, no more Fuedal Japan scenes!)
* Hayden Panettiere is filming a movie, so the first few episodes of Volume Three might be Claire-lite.
* Despite not being signed as a series regular, Kristen Bell (Elle) is expected to come back at some point and continue her arc.
* Kristin also revealed that Adam Monroe's name was once "Richard Sanders," implying he and Niki are related.
* When the show returns, the "plan" for "Volume Three" will be far different from what was originally conceived before the strike. Apparently some of the criticisms of the first half of Volume Two are being taken to heart....
* Expect to find out what powers (if any) Kaito Nakamura and Angela Petrelli have or had, when the show returns.

I'm glad Kristen Bell is coming back. I love her. Hopefully she'll be back for more than just to "finish her arc." I can't wait for this show to come back already. I'm curious as to which direction they're going to take the show in this season.
