'Glee' star Jayma Mays returning to 'Heroes'
Twitter
As a love story, it's not quite "The Time Traveler's Wife." But the time-traveler's crush is returning to "Heroes."NBC confirms that Jayma Mays, who played Charlie, the object of Hiro's (Masi Oka) affection in the first season of "Heroes," will reprise her role on the show this fall. Mays will also star in FOX's "Glee" this fall, but as that show has already finished shooting its initial 13 episodes, she can get away to do "Heroes."
When we last saw Charlie on "Heroes," Hiro was traveling back in time in a frantic prevent to prevent her death at the hands of Sylar (Zachary Quinto). It didn't work -- Hiro, at least at that time, was unable to change the past -- but it didn't stop fans from pining for the return of the sweet-natured waitress, who made a strong impression in her three-episode stint.
They'll get their wish in the fall; NBC says the episode featuring Mays' character will likely air in November. And given that teasers for the new season hint at Hiro falling under the sway of Robert Knepper's Samuel, we're guessing that her return may not be all for the good.
"Heroes" premieres on Monday, Sept. 21.

Didn't she play a character named Charlie on Ugly Betty as well?
wow - on two TV shows and neither has much promise for lasting long-term. maybe she should join Leno's new show and make it a three-pot
Glee is supposed to capitalize on the High School Musical craze! The same way there are vampire shows coming out to capitalize on the popularity of True Blood and Trauma and Mercy are supposed to replace ER and take away fans from Grey's Anatomy....like that will happen...we'll see!
the pilot for Glee had great writing, very funny, how the arch translates into a season we will see, people who did not enjoy this show must also not get the legends like Woody Allen and Tom Green. It has Jayma Mays!!! Sure Panetierre is cute but Miss Mays can act. She is Johnny Depp on a budget. big kisses and praise for Jayma
I thought Hiro did prevent Sylar from killing her...she just ended up dying from cancer or something.
glee isn't supposed to "capitalize the high school musical craze." the two shows are totally different--glee is a great show and hsm is not. i mean if you don't understand some of the stuff(like if you're a certain age, like maybe 12) then it's not as funny.
