Kiefer Sutherland Talks Jack Bauer's Return in 24: Live Another Day

At this point, can anything stop Jack Bauer? For eight punishing seasons, the toughest man in TV weathered explosives, torture, his daughter's kidnapping, his own kidnapping, the deaths of his wife and a girlfriend, the murders of his best friend and various bosses, and enough nuclear suitcases, psychos — and, oh, that damned ticking clock! — to send lesser heroes scampering off to a safe house (or an early grave).

Original 24 Producer-Director Returning for Live Another Day

Audrey? Behrooz? Eating? Burning 24 Questions Answered!

On the occasion of 24 treating fans to a double episode tonight (starting at 8 pm/ET), TV Guide spoke with some "well-informed" people to find out everything you need to know about the Fox thriller... and a few things you don’t. Fans loved the budding romance last season between Aaron Pierce and First Lady Martha Logan. Will they finally hook up? "That relationship does have legs, yes,” promises executive producer Jon Cassar. “I don't want to spoil how, but you will see some romance between them this season.” Speaking of romance, will Audrey go back to Jack? The answer is yes, but the question is when. Says Cassar, “Audrey is the true love of Jack's life and something isn't right until that relationship is figured out. She'll be back, but not for a long while.”
