Claire's possible father

[emily feist]

I don't know why but I'm starting to think her dad is Nathan. I could see him being with someone seventeen years ago, maybe before he met his wife. We do know he cheats so even if he was married he could've been with someone. Maybe Claire's mother doesn't have powers but because Nathan does, Claire was born with abilities. I'm thinking that Nathan is about thirty six or a little older. Claire could very well be a daughter he doesn't know about. I hope it's not him because when Claire is older I want to see something develop with her and Peter. I know they said they wouldn't be together, but maybe that just means for now. The only other person I could think of who would be a shocking reveal as her father would be if it was Linderman or even the Petrelli's father.

[superhippie2000]

Sounds interesting. I think it may be Linderman. We should be finding out soon.

[MidgardDragon]

Some spoilers said it would be a "soap opera moment" so I'm guessing that it's definitely Nathan. Think of the affair that we know he's had already. It makes sense that he might have had an affair with whomever Claire's mother is.

[Caper 469]

Didn't Linderman have a connection with the father of the Petrelli's? Isn't Nathan always sellings things to Linderrman? He seems to have an unusual relationship with him. I bet Claire is Peter's sister or neice.

[CallMeClark]

Yeah, I immediantly thought Nathan.

[wannalottalana]

Just throwing it out there...

[Bat_Lantern]

They gave a great tease at the end of the episode. I don't know how to hide a spoiler on here so exit now if you didn't see the teaser for next weeks episode!



SPOILER (kind of)
We see the arm of Claire's dad. Wearing a dress shirt with the sleave rolled up, nice watch and I think I saw a nice ring. Looks like someone with money.

So people.. place your bets!

[SuperFan85]

Im guessing Linderman

[Bat_Lantern]

That's one of my top guesses as well.
Did someone mention that it is someone we have seen/heard about thus far in the show?

[SuperFan85]

it would only make sense for it to be Linderman. He's connected to everyone else practically

[Randy G.]

I get the funny feeling that it will be revealed that H.R.G. is Claire's actual father. Meredith (Pyro chick) of course, being her mother.
He took Claire from her mother, when she was 18 months old, after the fire. It is still up for grabs whether or not she really knew that Claire survived. She seemed sincere on the phone, but then again, we see her calling him & blowing the whistle on Claire.

[MidgardDragon]

I'm liking the HRG idea. It might be Nathan too.

[Randy G.]

True, I thought about that. Nathan is my second choice.
He does seem to "share the love" when he's out of town on business. :cool:

[Monkeychow01]

you're right....take a look at the screen capture of the "hand/watch/shirt/veins on his hand" from next week episodes. Then look up a picture of Nathan....you'll find one of him sitting in a chair...arms outstretched. Look at the watch and the veins on his hand. And the pink shirt gave him away immediately to my wife for some reason.

[Monkeychow01]

Screen captures spoil that it is nathan. hopefully this is allowed to LINK to pictures...but :

*hopefully since both are from this site it's not a big deal

Compare the watches and the veins on the hands. If I can find the ring it would completely sink the deal, but I'm positive it's Nathan.

[CallMeClark]

Yeah, but TPTB know we would think Nathan when we saw that shirt. I am sticking with HRG as being her bio dad as well.

I agree with Randy. Cool avatar too!

[mikeacb2007]

I'm thinking it's nathan too.
Iit being Linderman would be a shock but IMO it would make his connections start to get ridiculous & even soap opera-ish. However, nathan it could be the break he needs.
"Save the cheerleader turn her father into a hero".

and on a an audience note it would (i hope) quash the Nathan/Claire for good
now not only can thje actors hook up because of age but they'll be niece & uncle

[STFanatic]

Cool item.

The doctor Sylar killed in this episode was the same person who posed as Claire's father when HRG introduced her to her "Bio parents" in an earler episode.

(I am watching the episode with commentary)


Watch "The Fix" with commentary from "The Cop & The Cheerleader"
http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/video/commentary.shtml

[Chlarkerlover]

i'm thinking its Nathan, seeing as i reconized that shirt from one of the earlier epicodes lol. could be linderman though, or hrg.

[Bat_Lantern]

After seeing the current evidence.. it is looking more like Nathan. And looking at the cast list for the episode when it is revealed.. it's hard to see whom else it could be. I was kind of hoping Ando got lucky as a youngster but oh well.

(just kiddin folks)

[kickarse]

I thought Nathan too...

[superpal1]

I thought Nathan as soon as you saw the arm with the watch. The only other person it could be is Linderman. But for a "soap opera" moment, Nathan is the choice. Then you have Peter saving his neice that he didn't know was his neice.

[Deathcabin]

I kinda just started watching this sow..but given the information so far.. I'm thinking either Sylar or Linderman...
Why was Sylar always asking about Claire?..Just because he wanted to piss off HRG...or something else. I dunno..
Or Linderman because he seems to get around...
Could be Nathan but he seems kinda young to me..if Claire is what 15 or 16..then he would've been pretty young eh?

[spacepixie21]

yeah, nathan looks young, but i just looked at an earlier promo picture, and the ring on "claire's daddy's" hand looks like the same ring nathan is wearing in the promo pic....although they are on different hands...the watch that nathan wears is also the same...hmmmm....stuff to think about...

spacepixie21

[loistickyfingerz]

Maybe they wanted us to think Nathan because that was my first thought. But I don't know, that doesn't seem interesting enough. Linderman would be more interesting to me. But honestly, HRG or Nathan are the only two obvious choices from the picture so far.

[ShadowVessel]

It's gotta be Linderman. Nathan doesn't wear a ring like that and purple or pink or whatever color that shirt was is too "pimp" for Nathan. But... Vegas/Mafia/Tycoon Linderman? Oh yeah.

[loistickyfingerz]

Plus, wasn't Linderman the one who bought that painting of her? I mean, no you didn't get a good view of her, but has he been following her closer than she can imagine?

[STFanatic]

If it does turn out to be HRG, Claire's & the Haitian have been exposed.

[aze]

i took a look back at ep 13..the part where nathan goes back to mohinder's apt..the point where he flips open the folder handed to him..it could be seen that what he had on his left ring finger was nothing more than a normal wedding band..totally not ornate compared to the one on claire's dad's hand..so..i figured maybe HRG..in ep 12..where he was fixing breakfast n claire was there with him..his shirt color matched the mystery dad..but after the scene when claire exits the kitchen..hrg takes off his glasses and rubs his eyes with his left hand..once again..just a simple wedding band..nothing as ornate as the ring in the still shot of claire's dad's hand..

I've yet to check if Invisiguy wears such an ornate ring on his left hand tho..

anyway..either we're looking at another totally new character..or its Linderman..

and given the current situation..i think its Linderman..


ghost..

[STFanatic]

Yeah, the more I have thought about it, the more I think we were being led to suspect Nathan, From a slip of the tounge from the co-producer on the commentary Linderman will be revealed within the next episode or two.
Eric Roberts Joins the cast (did the voice of Mongul in JLA animated) I am betting he will be Linderman.

Roberts also was in the 1996 Dr. Who movie :)

[spacepixie21]

alright...how's this for a ring pic??

http://herosite.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=16&pos=30

make the image bigger and look at nathan's right hand....ring anyone??

the watch is on his left hand and can be seen in some of "The Fix" images i believe...not sure, but someone can check for me...whatever...

possible daddy??

[superhippie2000]

the whole hand thing could have been adistraction when they mentioned claires father. so it would make people think it was her real fathers hand. remember sylars hand when he was in the coffee shop before killing charlie and his hand when mohinder had the flashback of him killing his dad. perhaps sylar is claires father.

[STFanatic]

Thanks for the pic.

I put the hands together to compare.


http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k292/Startrekfanatic/nathanthhands.jpg

The thing is, it is on the wrong hand.

[Hiro's Blade]

Alright, so at first I thought it was very obvious that the Nathan as Claire's dad was a bit obvious at first. I ended up looking for watches during a rerun on SciFi .

At the end of Fallout, when Nathan is getting Peter out of Jail, you see a watch on Nathan's left wrist. It has a white face and no numbers. Just like the watch in the "Claire's Daddy" picture from the caps.

As for the ring: I think it is actually two rings. the silver wedding band below a gold class ring, just like the promo picture of his right hand.

So, I'm pretty sure the person in that shot is Nathan.

Thoughts?

[STFanatic]

But in the Nathan pic it is on the right hand, but on the "Daddy" pic, it is on the left.

I was rewatching "The Fix" and when Nathan was talking with Mohinder, he has the big ring on his right hand there too.

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k292/Startrekfanatic/Cdad.jpg

Closeup of the ring.

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k292/Startrekfanatic/ringss.jpg

It does look like a wedding ring then the big ring.

[kickarse]

^^ Your right... it's TWO distinct rings

BUT, if you look at the hands their different shades of tan. Also the "claires dads" hand is much older...

[cdpittenger]

I'm pretty sure Claire's dad is Nathan. My clue wasn't the ring, but more so the watch. There are a few pics/scenes of Nathan wearing the same watch as Claire's biological dad. Plus, in a few spoiler columns, fans ask if Claire and Peter are going to hook up and every time the columnist says there's a big reason why they never will...maybe because they're related?

[emily feist]

I definitely think it's him now. It makes perfect sense. This way when she has to get away from HRG she has a legitimate place to stay. He is her real father so it's not like she couldn't see him. I could see him hiding her at Peter's until he sorts it out with his wife, who I'm sure will be really upset by the whole thing. It was only a matter of time before his past caught up to him and he had to face his super powered destiny. He is always fighting it but when he finds out his daughter is still alive, and that she was the cheerleader that Peter saved, I think he'll finally step up and do the right thing. He'll realize that Linderman isn't the only connection and see that his destiny is greater than taking public office.

[ShadowVessel]

OMG!!! I think we could all be wrong here. I've been thinking it's too freakin' obvious! It's one of three people from what everybody's been speculating: HRG, Linderman, or Nathan. But it's supposed to be this big shocker, right? Well, what if... and I say IF here... but what if Nikki/Jessica's dad is Claire's dad? I don't have the "6 Months Ago" episode so I don't have a reference to the ring or something I THINK Nikki said at the AA meeting... but didn't she say she was originally from TEXAS?! And he's got money to be dressed like that. And he was a bad drinker and was never home unless he was killing an offspring or something.

So... WHAT DO YA THINK!?!

[Caper 469]

Why is Claire, the cheerleader from Texas in New York in a couple weeks?..... to find her biolgical dad of course! ( Nathan ) It's not too hard to figure out.

[STFanatic]

I was thinking that the writers want us to choose Nathan as the father, or HRG perhaps.
Those are the obivious choices, maybe too obivious ;)

Some say Sylar is the dad.
I don't think so at all. There is no way the mother could have called him since he had just broken out and where could she have called to reach him?

Linderman? Maybe, but Linderman isn't going to be announced yet, unless they don't show his face and just the hand till we get to see him.

The writers have done a great job with this, it is all over the net with "Who's the daddy".
I would almost bet we will be surprised when we find out.

Yeah... I thought she was gonna be in Vegas. I could be wrong, though.

[I-HAN]

It definetly aint Peter or Mohinder !

Reason why i don't think its Nathan:

NBC and the creator of Heroes would've probably made it harder for us to fugure out who it is.

Who else could it be?

1. If Dr. Suresh was somehow alive? (making him and his son 'heroes'?
2. Linderman, who we never saw, but came into multiple characters way.
3. HRG, the love and concern he really shows for Claire might actually be the love of a real bio parent, not just adopt. parent.
4. Hiro's Dad?? You never know?
5. (BTW who does HRG work for? who are the superiors? Is it prob. Linderman?) Or maybe its the real father of claire, who tried to save claire by talking to HRG about it. however, continuety issues would arise.
6. This one will be crazy, but i remember an interview where Mr. Masi said something about wearing watches. Could it be Hiro? ( dont think so, but trying to get people think anyone besides Nathan haha)
I keep on thinking about the ("are you on the) List. Whoever has an ability, their relative seems to have as well. So it could be someone we have seen before like.

[STFanatic]

It can't be Mohinder as the skin color would be wrong.
Nor can it be Dr. Suresh for the same reason.
As well as Hiro or his father, The hair would be a tough hurdle to jump on that too.

As for resemblence, who looks more like Claire than any other?
Well, we don't know exactly what Linderman looks like (unless it is the one I think it is from the spoilers.

[I-HAN]

dr.sureh was white tanned, not like mohinder. + he is a bit old. but ofcourse hes dead sooo dunno what else to say.


just a quick note, i think that girl (whose daddy died, the one peter was takng care off) has an ability that she didnt figure out yet. Because her father, had dreams of peter and such, so if hes a heroe is she??

[SuperFan85]

I think it'd be interesting if Linderman turns out to be Claire's father, and HRG, who I believes works for Linderman, has no idea that Linderman is Claire's father; and then Claire starts leaning more towards being with her real father for answers to her life, and this creates a sort of tension between the biological and foster father of Claire, and could test the loyalties of HRGs to Linderman, since HRG loves Claire so much and would hate to lose her to his boss.

[MetroGirl06]

Please people, the father is obviously David hasselhoff! :P :D

There you go!
I completely missed the Hoff.

I feel so dumb.

::::hangs head::::

[emily feist]

Yeah!! I was right. Nathan is the father.

[Monkeychow01]

I would just like to say for those of you that wouldn't believe me when I slammed this forum the DAY of the last "trailer"....

WHAT THEN??


:) Maybe next time I find some evidence people will take me more seriously.

[STFanatic]

I was 98% sure it was Nathan as well, however I thought the writers were trying too hard for us to guess it was him to surprise us with someone else.

From the screen clips I gathered I was convinced it was Nathan.
Linderman was the wild card.
