Jordan Strauss/WireImage.com, AP Photo/Kristie Bull/Graylock.comYep, it's true. Sources confirm that Francis Capra has been cast on Heroes. I've also exclusively learned that Veronica and Weevil—I mean, Elle and Jesse, do share at least one scene. Francis Capra and Kristen Bell together again? Hallelujah!
My sources tell me Francis is doing a three-episode guest arc as villain Jesse Murphy, a thug who runs with a gang of two-bit criminals. However, Jesse is more than just a meathead. He does have a power. When and where will it be deployed? You'll have to watch to see.

FYI, I'm hearing good things about the larger picture on Heroes this season: In particular, the Bennets and Petrellis are staying front and center, and they are totally up in each other's bidness—just the way we like them.
Someone somewhere is definitely paying attention to the fans, and the resulting twists are so good it's killing me not to talk about them.
Suffice it to say, there will be some shocking alliances and the appearance of at least one long-lost relative. Any guesses on which family member makes a surprise return? Post your pick in the comments!
