Traditional Wednesday News from Ausiello, first thing is first..
We have an another female hero. Yep, She’s not Jessalyn Gilsig or Stana Katic, and probably she’ll be “the most beautiful thing” in Heroes. Missy Peregrym casted as Faith -not Buffy the Vampire Slayer Faith- , who is a temptress with a “great sex appeal”..
Although unconfirmed by NBC, multiple sources confirm that the Stick It actress has been cast as Faith, a female temptress who, according to an earlier casting breakdown, “wields a tremendous amount of sex appeal” and is willing to “get her hands dirty” for her employer. Peregrym will first appear in Episode 18, likely airing in April.

I am very sorry this has caused concern for the readers of your website. It was certainly not our intention to confuse the issue of Zach’s character being gay. We have too much respect for our audience to do that intentionally. However, it has simply become too complicated behind the scenes to push this issue further with this particular character.
