Left Rachel Melvin        Right: Madeline Zima

I’m starting to get nervous about all these new cast members joining my favorite tv team on Heroes! Though I will have to remain positive because the end of last season was so friggin awesome!

Claire Bennet is going to be heading off for college and will have two roommates in a multiepisode arc. She will be joined by Days of Our Lives star Rachel Melvin and Californication star Madeline Zima.

Zima will play Gretchen, an edgy outsider while THR says Melvin will play “Annie, who also will share sleeping quarters (and maybe more) with Claire.” Is Claire going to be going for the “full” college experience?

Season 4 of Heroes begins filming tomorrow!
