According to Oliver Grigsby, there was some discussion about Simone's last name before production began. "Devere" and "Devereaux" were considered, and "Deveaux" was chosen just before production began. [1]
Isaac's love interest was originally written as a bohemian white woman named Stella. However, after Ali Larter beat out Cypress for the role of Niki Sanders, Heroes creator Tim Kring offered the role of Stella to Cypress. The character was changed from a bohemian to an art dealer, and the name was changed to Simone Deveaux. The writers had discussed several storyline possibilities for Simone, such as pregnancy and becoming another "Horn Rimmed Glasses" like Mr. Bennet. Cypress believed Simone to be "the Lois Lane of the Heroes world." In the end, however, the creative staff could not decide what direction to take Simone. Kring informed her of Simone's fate in December 2006. [2], [3], [4]

When Simone first enters Isaac's apartment, she is carrying a painting of a woman and a cat (Genesis). The painting she carries is called Kitty. It is a serigraph created by Tim Sale for the Saint-Germain branch of the "Album" comics store in Paris.
