It's Official: Elisha Cuthbert Returns to "24"

(Warning: Spoilers) After months of speculation, Fox issued a press release announcing the return of "24" favorite, Elisha Cuthbert (Kim Bauer). In addition to Cuthbert's return, William Devane (Secretary of Defense James Heller) is back to help assist CTU. In the two-hour special event on March 6, 2006, Jack Bauer is still dealing with the nerve gas situation. When Kim reenters Jack's life, she does so with her trusted friend Barry Landes (played by C. Thomas Howell), a therapist who attempts to simmer down a boiling situation (Uh, where is Chase?).

Also entering the fold are Ray Wise and JoBeth Williams, who will portray Vice President Hal Gardner and his wife, Miriam. Looks like all is not well within the Administration -- will he try to take the reigns from President Logan? (Photo: The Cast of "24" © 2006 Fox )
