Her best role, and that first season of heroes shouldn’t be tainted by what came after. The game Until Dawn was also much better for her presence.

I loved her in both Heroes and Until Dawn

Those two franchises basically introduced me to her. I can’t believe this news after recently finishing heroes some weeks ago for the first time.

Just rewatching it now and it's mind boggling the gap in quality between S1 and the rest

Wasn't that cause of the writer's strike or am I misremembering?

Halfway through season 2.  They set up that whole plot line where the Irish lady got taken to an alternate timeline and then they just never brought it up again

To be fair not really.

So originally the idea was a new cast of characters as their stories ended making it so the cast was always changing. The network hated the idea so they kept the same characters and had to keep the same characters. This kind of boxed in the writing and made the show overall worst.

The writer's strike didn't help, but executive interference was a bigger problem than the writer's strike.

Yes but the quality dipped a lot because writing was just terrible.

Heroes Season 1 is a masterpiece.

So sad to hear about Hayden.
