Anyone guessed Jatoro yet? He jumps from one group of bandits or adventurers to another, so I wouldn't be too surprised if the next one he wants to join is ours.

If the topic of the thread is now the actual next hero as opposed to what you wish, it's Keiran as a Paragon. Between public Dev and Krewe "hints" I'm completely convinced of this.
You mean todo with WoC. This hero sure as hell has to do with WiK, you get them when Hearts of the North is finished (which requires WiK).

Personally I'd love a Ghostly Togo, but the TK has been hinting as something completely obvious - why would togo be obvious?
Makes me think it is not him.

While a variable primary would be cool - how would you deal with profession specific runes on him/her?
My money is on Thakery.

I'm honestly at a loss of what the new hero is. Stumme said it will be something very unexpected, yet the TK also say it's someone or something we're very familiar with.
Argh, I'm so eager to see the new content!

Jatoro would be cool but we haven't seen him since nf.

I know we're not familiar with Gwen's baby...at least, not in GW1, but the lore that bridges us between GW1 and GW2 does contain lots of information about Thackeray's descendants, right?
I doubt it will be Logan Thackeray unless he is 250 years old in GW2, but maybe Logan's grandfather?
dts720666
So here's my theory.
The new hero will be Gwen and Kieran's baby, and it will in fact be Logan Thackeray. How does he live to be 250 years old and survive until GW2?
When Ebonhawke is established in 1080 AE (current day in GW 1), Gwen Thackeray is sent there (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ebonhawke). She is present when the Foefire (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Foefire) comes. The humans become ghosts, but a band of charr survive and become the Fireshadows.
The article states that
I think GW2 will begin by revealing that one did in fact survive, and it was Logan. When he returns, it will be with the Sohothin (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sohothin).
Somehow, Logan will be one of these ghosts and will obtain the sword from unded Rurik, and will return with it 250 years later at the beginning of GW2. All of this is why Logan

@dts720566:
That seems like a pretty long and winding road to have to travel just so that they can make the GwenChild into a Hero. Especially when your tale involves Logan being a ghost, when he's most certainly flesh and blood, and working as a guardsman in Kryta during "Ghosts of Ascalon".
When you look at the complexity involved in doing that, and compare it with something simple like Hayda meeting you in a field or Khamu meeting you in Gunnar's Hold and saying "o hai, i'm ur new hero nao" -- I don't think that Logan will be the new hero in GW1.

I hope it's a Paragon so everyone will rant and rave.

I hope it's Blimm as a rit.
He ends up buried in a tomb under Divinity's Reach, which I hope means he still has an important role to play before it's all over.

@dts: That's a pretty interesting idea for a new hero. Though as Ghull mentioned, it does seem a bit complicated for them to introduce Thackery in such a way.
It would be neat to see if they did implement a hero with an intricate story that spans time. But I feel the Dev team are going to choose someone with a much simpler past and relation to our characters.
@Para: Do the new books they released mention Blimm getting buried alive?

There's no one in the game that we're more familiar with than Rurik. My bet is on him

I say that it's Shing Jea Sherman. He has a pre-set skill bar of shouts and chants and echoes that he uses to make enemies cry like little school children.

I don't care who it is as long as we get another necromancer hero. We do not have enough necromancer heroes. I want seven of them in anticipation of the update that will allow us to have seven hero parties.
If I had to guess, I'd say Necromancer Munne would be a good choice.

Why does no one think about Langmar? She might become a gosthly hero!

.........Dammit, now I want Salma as a hero. |
but ya ever notice that Salma is in 2 places @ once. Quite a feat if you ask me. After doing the WiK stuff she can still be found in ToA. Which to me is just kinda wrong.
Another thing is i would suspect with this update.....the neat liltte trick of hero's calling targets for you will be a standard option on your hero's, as i imagine this would carry over as a feature for GW2 or is one already and implemented here as a test. Personaly, i like the idea....but it does get a bit tricky trying to time Thacks Sniper Shot with her calls. ran the the HoN line only once and by the end i still hadn't masterd the timing for that Sniper shot.
I would look for a lot of skills similar to that in GW2. Signs that they are going in a differant direction for sure.
As for new Hero's....we only have 1 Asuran hero @ the moment......
So i'd look for Oola, Blimm &/or Zinn.
And after 5 yrs we still don't have a charmable Griffin....Pheonix...Rainbow Pheonix...but no griff. :-(
What I'd really like to see is A ghost of some kind. Or a Male Norn to go with Jora.
And it wouldn't surprise me if at some point we see a female char. they will be in GW2 for sure.
aspi
Female charr? I think I read somewhere that we already met the new hero. I cant remember meeting any female charr in gw1.
Ayuhmii Shanbwa
well, if its a rit, i'd like to see http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Chiyo 
if (really if) we get another ele hero: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Elementalist_Aziure
just for her armor, lol
if a sin i'd like to see chiyo's sis http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Emi
now that i mention it, if we get 2 more heroes with the prof of which we have less than 3, those 2 sisters would do
a female charr? would be fun
i hope its either 1 of those, or at least another race than human
what has been said before, an all-prof hero, i doubt it, but would be cool, i just hope they will succeed if they do it

I'm guessing.. Blobby the mesmer!
Or why not The Lost (margonite) as a third paragon hero?

they wouldn't give us more than 3 of a profession, so it must be an paragon, an ritualist, an mesmer or an assasin, and the most of the characters you are mentioning are kinda dead, i don't think they will make an return

I'm tossing out the idea, with many others here, that Keiran Thackery as a paragon. It seems obvious he would become a hero if we get him (going with Gwen for example), we're familiar with him, and it would be unexpected sort of to be a paragon because he's a ranger. But as we saw, the end of the BMP style missions he gained paragon skills, perhaps showing a change in his personality as he is now becoming a more leader type role.

The best ideas I've heard so far are......
Keiran Thackery as a Paragon
Togo as a Rit (but now that we know the hero comes with Hearts of the North and not Winds of Change, that idea is dubious)
Mad King Thorn as ??? (Mesmer?). We did just spend a week helping him return to the mortal realm. I think he owes us and will spend time bound to us as a hero if he does manage to return.
