General Spoilers: (newest at top, and marked with a )

Elle is an operative for The Company - the shady group that bags and tags heroes - and will first pop up in the Oct. 22 episode in Ireland, where she’s willing to kill in order to locate Peter. “Elle is capable of heinous things and manipulates her power to no end - it brings her a lot of pleasure, ” Bell says. “Unlike the other heroes, she’s been living with special abilities her entire life and never had a childhood. She was exploited by her parents and trained like an animal - so she’s kind of a misfit and a bit of a lunatic.”

No worries Mars fans. Kring promises to take full advantage of Bell’s trademark humor and sass. “The character is quippy and flirty, and Kristen plays her in a very sympathetic way,” Kring says. “But make no mistake: Elle will be a cautionary tale to all our other heroes. This is what can happen if you live with these powers too long.”

Question: Can you give us any more scoop on Kristen Bell's character on Heroes? Like, which of the actors she'll be filming with? — Karen
Ausiello: First off, let me say how much it sucks that I failed to connect with my BFF at the Emmys. We were like two beautifully coiffed ships passing in the night. Luckily, I did catch up with her costar Jack Coleman (HRG), who revealed that he would be shooting his first scene with Bell the morning after the Emmys — and we're talking the wee hours of the morning. His call time was 7 am. Of course he had it better than Bell, who was due at work at 5 am! That probably explains why she skipped the after-party circuit.

++ Bell will be introduced in the fifth episode on the season as Elle, a 20-something who's lived with her power her entire life (it's rumored to involve electricity and confirmed to manifest itself in either productive or destructive ways, depending on what she wants to accomplish). The other heroes will scratch their heads in puzzlement when they cross paths with her.

"She's a cautionary tale to all of other characters: what could happen to you if you live with this for a long time and how it messes with you," Kring says. "Elle's a little off-kilter and plays by her own rules. She's not very socially adept, she's a bit of a loose cannon, a little inappropriate - a little flirty at the wrong times - a little quick to anger."

Bell says the best way to describe Elle, is that "she's just a vixen."

++ How many episodes are you committed for?
Bell: I think I'm doing 13 as of now.

Is it possible that could be extended?
Bell: I don't know. Technically, I'm on for the first half of the season, but who knows?

Anything you can tell me about your character Elle that wasn't in the press release? [We know that Elle has ties to the supposed death of Peter, H.R.G.'s past and Claire's future.]
Bell: I know a a lot. I think I know everything. But I think the only things that are allowed to be [out there] are what was in the press release. It's going to be a really, really fun character — that much I can tell you.

There's buzz that you might be the show's new baddie since Zachary will be taking off to do Star Trek.
Bell: That is a possibility. It's going to be fun for me to see where she goes. I kind of hope so. It would be really nice to play the bad guy.

++ Bell will make her first “Heroes” appearance in October. She’ll play Elle, a character described as a sexy, mysterious young lady who has ties to the supposed death of Peter, H.R.G.’s past and the future of Claire. Elle will kick off her arc by committing a serious crime, though it’s unclear whether she’s good or bad.

wait.. so back to the last thread, Elle gets shot??!

**the echo fades** · 11-13-2007, 09:50 AM

It looks like it!

It just seems like her arm though, so I'm sure she'll be fine.

motylik20 · 11-13-2007, 01:47 PM

It looks like her arm. Poor Elle. *sigh*

**the echo fades** · 11-13-2007, 03:16 PM

I love the way Elle and Claire pass each other though

hee.

Spoilers from Kristin.. there's a pretty big one in there so I'll just bring over the bits that relate to Elle's storyline:

Quote:

1. Next week, HRG and West are going to buddy up. (I know. Kooky.)
5. Elle asks if Suresh's superpower is to be a punching bag. Ha!
6. Bob and Claire-bear meet up. This is not good.
9. You're gonna love it.

Hee, number 5!

silvercrystal · 11-13-2007, 04:13 PM

I read 'Elle gets shot' and almost freaked out! Poor thing

I cannot wait for the Elle/Sylar showdown. ^___^

motylik20 · 11-13-2007, 04:33 PM

5. is so true. We watched ep 7 right now and we're calling him a wimp and various other not so nice things. *lol* Elle is awesome. I really hope it's just a superficial wound. Poor thing.

Kirsty, thanks for not spoiling me more than I need to be! You rock.

**the echo fades** · 11-13-2007, 05:10 PM

Elle/Sylar showdown will be awesome! I love how Elle totally gets off on her powers, because you know Sylar would too, unlike Peter who finds it kinda weird

And yeah, people are always mocking how Mohinder has no real purpose (at least before Molly anyway) so I love that Elle says that

**Periwinkles** · 11-13-2007, 07:17 PM

I'm trying to remain as unspoiled as possible, but I couldn't help myself. That picture looks like it's going to be a great episode.

The punching bag line seems funny too. Can't wait to see her delivery.

loveelle25 · 11-13-2007, 09:27 PM

Oh wow I def didnt notice Elle being shot in the preview!! Do we know whos holding her? Bob? I cant wait for Monday!!

**the echo fades** · 11-14-2007, 01:25 PM

Yeah, I guess it's Bob!

I hope she's in the EPK clips when they come out

motylik20 · 11-15-2007, 04:58 AM

I think it's Bob judging by the clothes. Hopefully she'll be in the EPK clips.

Quote:

Meanwhile, Elle (Kristen Bell) decides to play hero to get back into her father’s (Stephen Tobolowsky) good graces.

**the echo fades** · 11-15-2007, 08:36 AM

I'm kinda glad that she plays hero to get back in Bob's good books, rather than her just deciding that she wants to be a hero.

motylik20 · 11-15-2007, 08:59 AM

Yeah, I'm curious to know what she thinks playing hero is. Because with how crazy she is, this can be anything.
