Aaron Pierce Return + 24 Moves To DC!

Interesting news emanating from Comic Con this week where the shows executive producers fielded questions from the show's hardcore fan base.
Here's the headlines:

- CTU has been disbanded by the government and will play no role in Season 7. It is likely to be replaced by a branch of the FBI.

- The L.A. setting has been dropped and the entire series will play out in Washington DC.

- Jack Bauer and Chloe O'Brien are the only confirmed returnees. The show will feature it's 'freshest' cast ever.

- Very strong of chance of Glen Morshower reprising his role as Aaron Pierce (above left) for Season 7. Great News!

- Producers refuse to confirm whether either Tony Almeida, Charles Logan or Wayne Palmer are actually dead. Keep watching is the message.

- An alternative ending to Season 6 was considered - featuring Tony Almedia. The idea was for Tony to confront Jack at the Heller Beach House as Jack was over looking the cliff. This could be a clear indicator from the show makers that they believe Tony can be brought back plausibly.

- They wanted to cast Donald Sutherland (Kiefer's father) as Philip Bauer but couldn't strike a deal.

- Jack Bauer will be forced to defend his actions over the years in front the Senate Commitee. This blogger believes this could lead to cameo's for other supporting characters to give evidence for or against Jack.

- Chase Edmonds is definitely not coming back to the show.

Overall interesting news without giving us anything major. We we're hoping for some more casting news but the powers that be are clearly playing their cards close to their chests. With some luck the deal to bring back Aaron Pearce will happen which would be sensational news for hardcore fans.
