I knew she would do well outside of Days and no longer dating her uncle.

Now if only Blake Berris could wind up somewhere, I miss him so much.

i would care about this if i was still watching heroes. i gave it up last october when i decided it had jumped the shark one too many times. it's just *awful* now, which saddens me because i loved the show in season one.

that being said, i really think rachel melvin has superstar potential, and i'm not suprised she booked a primetime gig so quickly after leaving DAYS. good for her!

I don’t know what it is but something about the way Rachel Melvin looks just annoys me. Is this the one Jamey refers to as “the snapping turtle”?

Dang I just broke up with heroes last year after they killed off Kristen Bells character I guess this means they've were going back out but I refuse to go steady!

I hope her character runs down Claire with her car. Damn, I forgot she can't die.

I don't watch Days, but I hear she's good so I'm excited to see her on Heroes!

Hey season1217 maybe her character will somehow cut Claire's head off and keep it that way she can never come back!

Oh wow this is great!! I love Rachel on Days and I love the show Heroes! I am not surprised Rachel got a job right away...she has such superstar potential. She is a great and very talented actress as well as just an awesome human being! I am so glad that another show saw that.

I've hoped that Rachel would return to Days at some point as I loved her paired with Shawn Christian as the couple Daniel and Chelsea. And while a part of me still hopes that she will return and Days will return back to Daniel and Chelsea (I always will be a Danseas fan), I am very very happy for Rachel! She deserves all the sucess!

This is great news! I love Rachel and I've always thought she was an amazing actress. I was so sad to see her leave Days, but I knew she would do well! She deserves this and I wish her all the success in the world!

The first half of last season's Heroes was dreadful, but the second half improved a bit. Good for Rachael for getting a prime-time role, but Heroes has too many damn useless characters as it is!
