Greg Beeman leaves Heroes, hints at returning characters

Greg BeemanDirector/Producer of Heroes Greg Beeman confirmed in his last blog post that he is leaving Heroes for financial reasons. “[NBC] no longer wants to have a Producer/Director position on the show, ” described Beeman as he said goodbye to the cast and crew members of the show.

Greg has been part of Heroes since Season 1. He directed many episodes, most notably “Homecoming”, “Dual”, “Shades of Gray”, and the season finale “An Invisible Thread.”

He leaves behind a few hints of possible returning characters: “To the other cast, who have left the show (at least temporarily???) Santiago Cabrera, Tawny Cypress, Noah Gray-Cabey, Leonard Roberts, Dania Ramirez, Brea Grant and Kristen Bell…”

UPDATE: Bryan Fuller has also stated that next season will focus on new and old characters.

I wish Dana Davis’ name was there. Monica was a great character. But don’t go so far as to assume some of the characters will be brought back to life. Keep in mind that Heroes’ storytelling is not linear. A flashback episode can bring Simone or Elle back easily. We would certainly be more than glad to see them again.

Good Bye Greg. You did a great job in Heroes. You and Nathan will be missed.
