07/24 - Lyndsy Fonseca is out as Claire's gay cheerleader pal. She's out as in, off the show. According to Heroes creator Tim Kring, Fonseca's role had to be cut short after she landed that series-regular gig on Desperate Housewives . "She wasn't a pivotal character," Kring says of Claire's pal, who will now appear in just one episode. "The idea was that that part would grow, but it never got a chance to." New Hero Dania Ramirez revealed that when we first meet her character, Maya, "she's on the run from the cops." Source: The Ausiello Report

You'd think it would be easier for a popular, good-looking cheerleader, but I guess you'd be wrong.

I'm glad to hear this news. If I wanted to watch a show just driven about the character's sexual orientations I'd watch "Ellen", "Will & Grace" and all of those other ones which have to make being gay or straight such a BIG thing that really isn't so big anymore. ;P

I think that heroes is about real people discovering they have extraordinary ablilities. and weither or not some people are ready to admit it, or accept it, it is a fact. The numbers say that 10% of people are homosexual, and even if that is a high estimate, there should be at least one character who is gay. Your comment could be construed as "I dont want to see a black person on heroes, if I wanted to see a black person I would watch BET." |

Gay, Straight, Black, or White we are all human so lets just be happy the show is still on the air. Hot Lesbian Chearleader or not.

OMG, a lesbian cheerleader would've been sooo hot.
Just think of the fics that would follow! sigh yet another gay character bites the dust I have a feeling they'll keep trying to bring one in to add diversity that link isn't showing what it needs to be showing... does anyone have a picture of the girl? --------------------   |

I think a gay super hero would be great. Maybe they can have a super-keen fashion sense, or a really strong-gay-dar. Mostly likely they will have the ability to change the weather like storm from x-men, cause nobody likes a rainy day. and she could make rainbows all over the place.

Your comment could be construed as "I dont want to see a black person on heroes, if I wanted to see a black person I would watch BET."  That isn't what I was implying. What I'm saying is that I don't see the big deal about the big deal made about a character's sexuality on shows, especially Heroes. We live in a day and age where all sorts of sexual orientation have more or less become the norm thus they aren't controversial as they once were. I'm just tired of, when there is a gay character on a show, that a great big deal is made about them being gay. The character is gay. Fine. This character is straight. Fine. This character is black. Fine. This character is white. Fine. So, do you get what I'm trying to say?If a gay character is being added to Heroes for shock value it isn't working on me since tons of shows before it have had gay characters. And if you're going to say I'm a homophobe, think again. One of my best friends in high school was a gay man and I was perfectly fine with who he was.

They just need to make one of the regulars gay that way there's no chance of the actor getting out of the series. Maybe make Claire a lesbian or something. As for gay stories, I don't see why it should be any different from a straight ones. Just put the love story in the background and do not make it the focus of the series.

I think Claire has been pretty well established as strait, so for the writers to all of a sudden "make" her gay would be inconsistent with her character. If you HAVE to have a gay character in the show, then atleast make it one who's sexuality hasn't already been confirmed on screen...like Mohinder or Sylar. |
