Hayden Panettiere Was Shocked She Wasn't Asked Back For Heroes: Reborn

Hayden Panettiere recently chatted with Cosmopolitan.com, and the 24-year-old starlet opens up about how she was not asked join the upcoming miniseries, Heroes: Reborn.

"It was a shock to me," Hayden tells the site. "In fact, I believe I became privy to that through my cousin. She sent me a text message and told me about it." It was a shock to us too -- what the heck is NBC thinking?

"I mean, we had nothing, nothing to do with it," she added. "It will definitely be interesting to see how they reinvent that." When asked about the fate of her character, the superhuman cheerleader Claire Bennet, Hayden replied, "Who knows?" She added:

"It's a little bit of an interesting feeling because you go, 'That was our show, our home, our family,' something that we had a major part in creating. I mean, I hope that they don't have somebody else playing our characters ... That would be a little dagger in the heart. But, you never know. I wish them success in it, for sure."

As far as we're concerned, no Hayden, no Heroes! And if Zachary Quinto isn't on board, we're definitely not watching. In the meantime, we can get our Hayden fix on ABC's Nashville...
