The 24 Finale has just gone out in the states and thankfully all the talk of a former star returning 'from the dead' proved to a red herring from producers.This story was leaked and reported by so many sources, inlcuding ourselves, that it was generally conceived to be true.
What actually happened is that producers infiltrated some hardcore online 24 forums and brought this story out to throw viewers off the scent going into the finale.
Apparently brief consideration was given to bringing Tony back from the dead, but the producers felt this would be a leap too far. We suggested that it would be unrealistic to bring back Tony Almeida and, I think wisely, the producers came to the same conclusion.
If 24 does go down this road again then we still believe that Sherry Palmer (Penny Johnson Jerald - above left) is the only cast member they could realistically resurrect because of the uncertainty surrounding her so-called demise.
While this piece of smoke and mirrors did successfully throw a curveball to the fans, it has also backfired to a degree, with many fans now upset that the Tony return didn't happen and generally feeling let down by Season 6 as a whole.
We will await the end of the series at Sky One pace before delivering our verdict on Jack Bauer's latest 24 hours.
