TV Guide’s Matt Mitovich says not to expect Audrey in Season 8:
Will Kim Raver return to 24 since ABC didn’t pick up her new show? — BrightEyez
MATT: I see where you’re going with this. Since Season 8 is set in New York City, you’re hoping Jack and Audrey will rendezvous, Sleepless in Seattle-style, atop the Empire State Building. Well, put a pin in that dream for now. For starters, you should be with me in wanting Jack with Renee, not Audrey. Beyond that, ABC’s Inside the Box pilot is undergoing retooling/technically still in play, so Raver might not exactly be available. But one Kim you can plan on returning is Jack’s daughter — sources tell me Elisha Cuthbert has already filmed scenes for Day 8′s first few hours.

Mischa in Culver City, Calif.: 24 scoop. Anything please!
Jennifer Westfeldt appears on 24 this season, which just happens to be filming on the same lot as her man Jon Hamm’s show, Mad Men. Jennifer tells us of her 24 role: “I’m a journalist with some ties to the president of the Islamic Republic, who is played by Anil Kapoor, who was in Slumdog Millionaire.” She wouldn’t tease whether her character was good or bad, but safe to say she’s not sticking around too long because she’s off to New York to star in an off-Broadway play this week.
