Just as Heroes was gaining some creative momentum comes word of another setback: Bryan Fuller has vacated his post as consulting producer.

The acclaimed Pushing Daisies auteur tells me that he left to focus on developing new projects for NBC, and not (as some have speculated) due to creative differences with series creator Tim Kring.

“I’m crafting two pilots right now and it’s a lot of work,” admits Fuller, who has an overall deal with NBC. “It was just too hard to [juggle] Heroes and my development; something had to give.”

Fuller returned to Heroes last December, shortly after ABC dropped the ax on Daisies. Many credited him with the show’s end-of-season creative rebirth.

So, that poses the question;  Just how bad will the new season of Heroes be without Fuller?  Let us know what you think in the comments below!
