HEROES actresses Hayden Panettiere and Madeline Zime (Who co-stars as Gretchen, Claire’s college roommate) share an on-screen kiss in next Monday’s episode, “Hysterical Blindness.”

Hayden, who plays Claire Bennet on the supernatural hit, is actively looking to have a lesbian fling with her nosy college roommate, played by Madeleine Zima in this season’s chapter on redemption, reported the Sun.

Hayden, who finally wants to explore her bi-sexual side, told the press: “I kind of threw it out there. They [the writers] put you in relationships and I was like, ‘Can I just be with a girl or something? Let’s do that.’

“So they took it and ran with it.”
