Heroes Actor: We Make Too Much Money To Get Cancelled - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Despite falling ratings and rumors of cancellation at the end of this year, at least one actor from NBC's Heroes isn't too worried about looking for a new job next year. Her reason? DVD sales. Well, it worked for Dollhouse...

Dawn Olivieri, who plays Samuel's carnie right hand Lydia in the show, told Digital Spy that she's unconvinced by talk of the show finishing this year:

Everybody talks about it losing momentum and not being so great in the ratings, but honestly, this show makes so much money for NBC that I don't see it gong anywhere. It's had No.1 DVD sales every year it's been on - internationally - and I don't think it's going anywhere. I think it'll keep going.

She also has some ideas about how the fourth season of the embattled series might end:

I think [the writers are] trying to change the show a bit - everyone gets hurt or semi-dies - and they wanted to shock fans as we get near the end of the season... There's definitely gonna be a few surprises that we've been filming recently and it's gonna stir up some trouble. There'll be a lot of buzz, for sure.

A lot of buzz is just what Heroes needs at this point, but we're not sure about this "everyone gets hurt or semi-dies" idea. If Nathan's death didn't get people sitting up and paying attention, what's left to bring back those of us who've abandoned the show by this point?

This reminded me of the cliffhanger for Dynasty

if they want to shock fans, why don't they just bring back some of the intensity and excitement from the first season?
