NBC’s Heroes was packed with shocking twists and turns that still have fans reeling, years after the show’s 2010 finale.
The show, which ran for 4 seasons from 2006 to 2010, followed seemingly ordinary people who discover that they have supernatural abilities and are forced to band together to prevent life-changing disasters. The successful NBC series – which received 14 Emmy nominations during it’s time on air – starred several notable stars including Hayden Panettiere, Jack Coleman, Milo Ventimiglia, Kristen Bell, Leonard Roberts, Ali Larter and more.
More than a decade after the finale’s end, Roberts opened up about his post-Heroes experience and described “tension” between him and Larter, his on screen wife.
“I was tarnishing her brand,” Roberts alleged in a lengthy Variety essay, recalling the day he found out he was being written off the show. “In a short voicemail message, [creator Tim Kring] said that due to ‘the Ali Larter situation,’ when the show returned for Season 2, audiences would learn that [my character] had died, and that I was free to call him if I wanted to talk. I was stunned.”
Larter later issued a statement in response to Roberts’ allegations, noting that she was “deeply saddened” and “heartbroken” by his description of their working relationship. “I am truly sorry for any role I may have played in his painful experience during that time and I wish him and his family the very best,” she told Us Weekly at the time.
