You tell me.
Here is what we know from www.heroestheseries.com:
So what’s Ali Larter’s Niki/Jessica Sanders (or is it now Tracy Strauss?) character been up to on Heroes? It’s probably not a stretch to say that the entire Sanders clan didn’t exactly have a lot to do in Season 2, with Niki mostly spending her time in New Orleans daydreaming about her dearly departed hubby D.L., a man with the power to phase through any object, but for some reason forgot to use it when someone shot him. (Yes, that was very convincing, writers of Heroes.) Of course, we can explain away Ali Larter’s lack of activity in Season 2 to Ali’s burgeoning movie career, as she had roles in not one, not two, but four movies in 2007 alone. So what can we expect from Ali Larter and her characters in Season 3? Let’s see what we know already… SPOILERS BELOW.
Niki Sanders is gone, metaphorically “killed” in that fiery inferno we saw at the end of Season 2. She has since been replaced by a new personality — Tracy Strauss.
What do we know about Tracy Strauss? Rumors indicate that she has no awareness of her previous life, or other identities, and has since become the mistress to the New York Governor (played by Bruce Boxleitner).
We also know that Tracy Strauss won’t just be a sexy toy to the NY Gov, she’ll also be something of a political confidant. Or maybe just a very good manipulator, because future storylines will include Tracy trying to get Nathan Petrelli a cushy Government job. We already know that Nathan and Tracy will be working very closely together in future episodes.
But Tracy won’t be the mastermind here — that role will belong to the supposedly departed Mister Linderman (Malcolm McDowell), who is scheduled to make his return in the Season 3 premiere. I suppose it was too much to hope that a man who can heal anything and anyone could be killed by a punch through the skull?
Speaking of Linderman’s healing powers, what exactly is Tracy Strauss doing to this rose…? I seem to recall in a previous Season 1 episode where Linderman demonstrates his power to Nathan Petrelli by performing something similar to a dying flower…
So what awaits Tracy Strauss? Will Ali Larter finally be brought back into the Heroes fold and made important again? We’ll have to wait and see.
Then this.....
Emma in Cedar Rapids, Iowa: Can you tell me anything more about Ali
Larter’s character’s powers on Heroes?
You know the
reporter played by William Katt of
Greatest American Hero who confronts
“Tracy Strauss” (Ali Larter) with evidence
that she’s actually “Niki
Saunders”? Well, there’s a reason he’s only in one
episode, and that reason
is that someone kills him by accident. (Wait a minute,
could Ali be playing
a character with a lethal power? Noooo!) Also, after Tracy
begins to believe
the reporter might be right about her real identity, she sets
off to find
the doctor who delivered her, in hopes that he can tell her more
about her
origins. She finds out at summer camp she has an identical twin, and
they
set off on a mischievious but adorable mission to get their parents to
reunite. Or wait, that last sentence may have been from another story.
Okay, now I’m really confused. This bit of spoiler would seem to indicate that Tracy Strauss is NOT simply another personality of Niki Sanders, as previously believed, but is instead Jessica Sanders, Niki’s long-thought dead sibling, now going by the name Tracy Strauss. Which would not really make sense. If Jessica is in fact alive, and has always been all this time, then where has she been keeping herself, and why does her sister and family believe she died as a young girl? Also, if Jessica has always been alive all this time, why did Niki create an alter ego named Jessica to defend herself in times of stress?
From a purely storytelling perspective, it makes sense to give Ali Larter more to do in Season 3, and certainly having her “kill” off her Niki personality and replacing it with “Tracy” would provide plenty of drama, as well as the mystery that has been sorely lacking in the Niki department. I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

Then THIS from spoilerfix.com...and Ali herself:
According to Ali Larter, there is "something of a scientific basis" for the explanation of how Niki (who was killed in a fire in the season-two finale) and Tracy Strauss (her current character) appear to be identical.
Remember when the Oprah-esque head doc said that Niki had a "classic" case of MPD? Rule #3 of anything dealing with sci-fi...when ever something is called "classic".......it ain't it.
So let me cut to the chase here: if you remember ANYTHING about s1, then adding the stuff in S3, then here is the question.....and keep it in mind as "Villians" procedes: What id Linderman is Niki/Jessica/Gina/Tracy's REAL dad???
Just a thought.
