Toronto radio station Z103.5 announced this morning that Ali Larter has reportedly been asked to leave Heroes at the end of this season (Fugitives).

Producers apparently feel there’s nothing left to do with Larter’s newest character, Tracy Strauss. They don’t necessarily want to release her from contract, but will potentially kill off Tracy at the end of Volume IV.

Previous to Tracy, Ali Larter’s character (Niki Sanders) was already killed off at the end of season 2. Tracy Strauss emerged as a twin of Niki, but she wasn’t given enough screen time this season. Her powers and personality were much more lame compared to Niki/Jessica’s superstrength and villanous vamp. So it’s no surprise that the producers are going this route for Larter.

But what does it mean “not to be released from contract”? Are we going to see Ali Larter on another NBC show?

Meantime, a reader at ODI mentioned that Kristin of E!Online said something about Hayden Panettiere wanting out of the series too…
