 Billions Alum to Play Cheryl's Long-Lost Love Heather

We’re finally going to meet a very important person from Cheryl’s past.
 Caroline Day (Billions) is joining the Season 6 cast of the CW drama as Heather, Cheryl’s middle school girlfriend. She will recur, starting with next Sunday’s episode (The CW, 8/7c). Cheryl has mentioned in previous seasons that she was in love with a girl named Heather when she was younger, but her mother Penelope forced them apart. This week, a repentant Penelope — who’s now a nun — showed Cheryl a collection of letters that Heather sent her but Penelope kept from her, bringing Cheryl to tears. Heather is now a librarian in the neighboring town of Greendale, and Cheryl tracks her down on social media, though
  Nana Rose disapproves. “When Heather re-enters Cheryl’s life, she does so with secret knowledge that may help Cheryl understand her emerging powers better,” per the official description. (Cheryl has discovered this season she has
 🔥pyrokinesis🔥, or the power to control fire with her mind.)
