Death of Major Character on Hayden Panettiere's 'Heroes' Described
It seems that Hayden Panettiere and the other cast ensemble for "Heroes" have to say goodbye to one of their co-stars on the hit NBC show. Some sources from the TV series tell E! Online that the production team is currently working on a scene which will show a major character on the sci-fi series dying.

Hinting at the character which will be killed off on the show, the site claims the leading role is a male and one of the original cast. However, E! Online refuses the mention the name of the character who will no longer appear on the show.

As of late, a still from "Hysterical Blindness", the October 12 episode of "Heroes" season 4, has been released. In the shot, Hayden Panettiere's Claire Bennet is snapped making out passionately with Madeline Zima, who stars as her college roommate named Gretchen.

Commenting on the same-sex kissing scene, Hayden told In Touch Weekly, "It's very exciting!" She went on detailing "When you are young, you experiment and you have fun. It truly is a person that she just falls in love with, because she fulfills her and she is her best friend and confidante."
