Heroes rumor: Is Hayden Panettiere leaving the show?

One of the “Heroes” cast apparently want to leave the series before the third season reaches its conclusion. According to E! Online (h/t SYFY portal), the actor was upset about not having enough screen time this year. The season 1 veteran actor is supposedly popular and “has more name recognition than others in the cast”, hence NBC is not ready to let this actor go. A death scene has supposedly already been written for this actor’s character, BUT there is a way to bring that character back from the “planned death”!

Names that come up include Hayden Panettiere, Masi Oka, and Ali Larter.

In this scene from “Heroes” episode 3.2, Claire Bennet leaves her family to explore the idea of being a freedom fighter, instead of being a victim of injustice. Sylar had taken Claire’s powers prior to this scene. Peter tries to stop her and blames himself for what happened to her.

Do you want or think for Hayden to leave “Heroes”?
