It looks like Adrian Pasdar’s character on HEROES, Nathan Petrelli, isn’t just getting killed. We’ve heard “major character deaths” so many times in this show that we all know they come back sooner or later. At least those whose names are mentioned in the pre-episode credits. But it looks like that’s going to change soon.
Adrian Pasdar is getting fired! At leas that’s the reveal that come from E! Online writer Kristin Dos Santos. And this one has the makings of a nasty end. Apparently, Adrian is pissed.
Adrian Pasdar’s Nathan Petrelli is the major character death happening on Heroes this season, and no, he wasn’t told he was getting fired, he learned about it from a script.
Rumor has it that Adrian will get paid through to the end of the season, so maybe Nathan is really not getting killed for good, at least until the season ends. But even so, none of this should surprise us (or Adrian). I have nothing but respect for the actor as he’s one of the cast who brings depth into his character, but Nathan’s storyline has gone down the drain since the writers thought of killing him last season and then putting him into Sylar. I mean, in all reality (HEROES reality, I mean, whatever that it), Nathan Petrelli is dead. Was dead since months ago. It’s only his mind (persona, essence, memories… whatever) that lives in Sylar’s body. How long can that last, really? Once Sylar gets his mind back from Matt Parkman, that’s the end of Nathan. He just can not exist anymore.
Of course, HEROES can resurrect him and re-make him into another character but… been there done that… he is not Tracy/Niki/Jessica. Adrian’s character also hasn’t grown much since two seasons ago. Nathan hasn’t progressed from being an insecure, selfish power-hungry politician into something better or worse. Most of the other characters have changed (even Hiro) but Nathan has remained essentially the same. And that can get old after four seasons. So, as sad as it is that Adrian is being let go, but it is time to bury Nathan Petrelli.

Thanks for the spoiler without warning. WTF!!!! I don’t mind little tidbits but a major death as a headline. Who’s running this site 14 year olds on mommy’s laptop.
Your bullshit website just lost another pair of eyes. Jackass!!!
Mobetta – if you were paying attention LAST season…Nathan died at Sylar’s hands. So…THIS ISN’T A SURPRISE! Nobody posted anything that was not already well known since LAST SEASON. PAY ATTENTION!! And stop with the profanity! It’s totally unnecessary. The title says it all, too: “Adrian Pasdar’s Cut from HEROES Is Not Surprising” That means it isn’t a surprise…because we already knew that Nathan died LAST SEASON. OMG you are mentally challenged.
lol! if youve watched up to november 4, then u should already know that nathan petrilli was dead ever since sylar rose from the dead! (oohh… actually this seems like a parrallel reference to sylar being like jesus/god because he rose from the dead just like jesus) lol anyway yesh
you SOUND like a 14 year old kid on his mom’s laptop, poster =)
i mean “mobetta”
[...] We heard the news about Adrian Pasdar being cut from HEROES, that Nathan Petrelli was going to die, as in really really really die. But as fans know, no one [...]
I believe that Adrian should COME BACK! I watched last night’s episode, and the tears were FOR REAL! I know they were! Petrellicest is what keeps HEROES in place. It’s probably the only reason that I watch it. PLEASE BRING NATHAN BACK!
[...] What an emotional episode! I know that Adrian Pasdar was going to be cut from HEROES, but it was still heart-wrenching to see him go tonight! What a way for Nathan to go and leave Peter with such a burden to finish the work. Great writing, and emotional acting by Milo Ventimiglia and Adrian Pasdar. Especially for Adrian, who must know how difficult it is to say those goodbyes knowing they’re for real, and amidst what seemed to be controversy behind his departure. [...]
