It's Heroes. People die sometimes. I'm used to it.
Of course, there is always a chance she could come back. There are always flashbacks... or alternate futures... or... I don't know, maybe ghosts. Now I'm just spitballing.
It's not Elle's death that really has me upset. It's this:
Tim Kring and Kristen had explored keeping her around longer – and I know Kristen wanted to come back. There were potential storylines about pregnancies and babies…. But the truth is she has a very busy career with a lot of feature films, pilots and much else in the works. We had no official contract with her – and she couldn’t commit to exactly when she could return. And so it was decided that this would be the most exciting way to end her character. She will be missed.
It says to me "we as writers blame Kristen for this storyline, we had no way to write her out of the script sans death, so we lit her on fire."
Like, pony up people and take some responsibility.

And I hope it kills them.
Man, I am so legitamently angry at the work situation that I'm actually unreasonably angry about Heroes ATM.
I can't even spell crap right. MAN.
