Nope, Elisha Cuthbert’s too busy doing arty slasher movies
Carlos Bernard, my wife’s secret crush, will reprise his role as the thought-dead Tony Almeida on “24” next season, the show’s producers have confirmed.
Seems Robocop – Peter Weller, without the metal suit – didn’t send Tony to the grave after all. He’s been frozen in some tank with Walt Disney all this time.
“Tony’s uncertain fate near the end of ‘Day 5’ left the door open for his return,” said executive producer/show-runner Howard Gordon. “And since there was no silent clock at the conclusion of his last appearance ‘ the 24 tribute to a major character’s demise ‘ we always kept this as a possibility.”
With CTU dismantled, the show’s setting moves to Washington, D.C., where Jack Bauer faces trial for his actions in the pursuit of justice. Bauer’s day gets off to a shocking start when former colleague Tony Almeida (played by Carlos Bernard), last seen in Day 5, returns after being left for dead by a terrorist conspirator in CTU’s infirmary.
The series returns Sunday January 13 stateside.
