When Pushing Daisies was cancelled last year, fans of the show were crushed. Meanwhile, Heroes' faithful audience jumped for joy; Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller returned to Heroes as a writer, and hopes to provide a badly needed jolt to the wayward program.
As a bonus for Heroes, Fuller isn't just bringing his own talent, he's tapping some of his friends for some help. EW.com is reporting that Swoosie Kurtz, who played the eye- patched Lily Charles, has been signed on for an upcoming episode of Heroes written by Mr. Fuller himself.
"Bryan wrote the part specifically for [Swoosie]," a rep for Kurtz told EW. "It's a really fun role."
In the episode, which is scheduled for April, Kurtz plays an old friend of Angela Petrelli (Cristine Rose) who comes back into her life.
Sure this won't take away the pain of Pushing Daisies going belly up, but it's a start. Right?
