Mary Lynn Rajskub News...
Thanks to Buddytv for the following...
One of the most out-of-nowhere random moments of 24's sixth season was when Chloe O'Brian revealed that she was pregnant. In a case of life imitating art, Mary Lynn Rajskub, who plays Chloe O'Brian, announced today that she is pregnant. It will be the first child for the 36-year-old actress and comedienne. The father is Matthew Rolph, 27, a personal trainer and Rajskub's live-in boyfriend. The child is due at the end of the summer.
This news may strike some fear in the hearts of 24 fans who are still hoping for a resolution to the writers' strike to happen soon enough that it might enable 24 to finish production on season 7 this Spring/Summer. Since season 7 is said to take place three years after the events of season 6, Chloe isn't going to still be pregnant. Normally, the writers for 24 may write-in another pregnancy for Chloe into the plot, but they've already shot about seven episodes of season 7 without Chloe being pregnant. Also, if Rajskub is indeed pregnant when shooting starts up again, her mobility may be an issue. I foresee Chloe being more on the move in season 7. The plot of 24's seventh season most likely involves Jack Bauer being a fugitive, or working covertly in direct opposition of the government. This being the case, and knowing Chloe's loyalties to Jack, it'd make sense that Chloe would be more on the move this season.
But, that's all assuming that 24 starts shooting the remainder of season 7 sometime in the next six months, which is far from a given. The writers' strike looks like it's winding down, but we don't know that for sure. It could extend for a few more months, for all we know. Once the strike ends, 24 is going to be put in a weird spot. How do they want to proceed? Should they take their time with the scripts and start filming again in the fall and get the season ready to air in January 2009?

Question: Is 24 still planning on bringing Tony back as a villain next season? — Kayla
Ausiello: Unless Fox completely scraps the eight episodes they have in the can — and that's extremely unlikely given how much those episodes cost to produce — Tony will still be the Big Bad when the show returns. Whenever the show returns.

Star Released from Jail...
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Actor Kiefer Sutherland was released on Monday from a Southern California jail, where he served 48 days for drunken driving and violating probation.
The 41-year-old actor left the Glendale City Jail shortly after midnight and was a model inmate, Glendale Police Officer John Balian said.
"He never gave us any problems, never complained about anything," Balian said, adding that Sutherland spent most of his time on laundry duty.
The star of the hit TV series "24" was arrested for drunken driving in September, while still on probation for a 2004 drunken-driving conviction.
He pleaded no contest in a deal with prosecutors that allowed him to serve his sentence without disrupting the show.
He must also serve five years probation, complete an 18-month alcohol education program and attend six months of weekly therapy sessions.
Sutherland, son of screen star Donald Sutherland, won an Emmy Award last year for starring as the terrorist-fighting secret agent Jack Bauer.
The show averaged 13.5 million viewers last year and returns this month for its seventh season on Fox.

Question: Any news on the return of 24? — MB
Ausiello: Well, although Fox hasn't confirmed it, I'll go out on a limb and say Jack Bauer isn't returning this season. Even if the strike ends tomorrow, the earliest the show could get back on the air is this summer — and there's no way in hell Fox is dumping 24 onto the summer season. That leaves the network with several options, none of them ideal. One solution is to just kick off Season 7 next January, but by then Jack will have been in hiding for nearly two years. Another, and much more controversial, scenario being bandied about involves taking the eight episodes currently in the can and creating a 10- to 14-episode mini-season to air in the fall. That would be followed by another 10- to 14-episode mini-season — featuring a completely different plot — during the second half of the season. Opponents of that idea have argued, and rightly so, that by splitting the season, you're essentially compromising the show's unique, 24-hour conceit. Proponents, however, argue that these are desperate times. And sometimes desperate times require throwing out the rulebook. I can see that point as well. What do you guys think? Would you rather wait until January and get a traditional uninterrupted 24-episode season? Or would you prefer getting the show back in the fall, even if that meant splitting the season up into two shorter, self-contained chunks? Or do you have another solution?

Season 7 (Day 7) Postponed...
With the writers strike under way, Fox is switching up its 2008 schedule.
The major moves include indefinitely postponing the premiere of “24,” moving up the launch of “Hell’s Kitchen” into spring and setting premiere dates for several new shows.
Overall, Fox plans a mix of reality and repeats, along with running off its remaining stock of scripted originals.
Even with an ongoing strike expected to dry up scripted episodes, a few freshman projects are being dropped into airless Friday nights.
Fox originally scheduled “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” and “24.” With only a modest number of “24” episodes reportedly complete, the season-seven premiere is being postponed “to ensure that ‘Day 7’ can air uninterrupted, in its entirety,” Fox says. Now “Prison Break” will launch the night, followed by “Connor” starting Jan. 14 (“Connor” will have a special premiere on Sunday, Jan. 13)

Major Strike News...
A friend that works on the show has informed me that company "memos" were sent out detailing what will occur if the strike is not resolved by the end of November/beginning of December.
The first thing that will happen is that this upcoming season will be canceled..!!
Although the show is already in production for the 8th hour (episode), a show like 24 can not endure an extended break since all 24 hours run in order with out any repeats. If the strike were to continue pass a certain point that would cause a break in the show, then the network will not run the first 8-9 episodes at all. Which means that we would have to just wait until 2008 fall or possibly 2009...for this season to run...!?
The crew was also informed that if the season was canceled that they would all be let go...!!
Compounding the problem is that one of the lead actresses for the upcoming season is currently on the picket lines with the WGA and has not shown up to film her scenes. Thus, even the episodes that have been written pretty much can not be filmed unless there is a change in the story line for this season.
According to sources the actress on the picket line with the writers is Janeane Garofalo...so at this moment it seems the network is unsure how to proceed with filming if she does not show up to the set.

New Cast Member...
Actress Marlene Forte has just secured a recurring role on the hit TV show "24" starring Kiefer Sutherland. She will appear in Season 7, playing Rosa Gonzales, a woman who is concerned about Ike Dubaku (played by Hakeem Kae-Kazim) and warns her sister about it.
More than an actress, Marlene is a "working" actress who has proven Hollywood wrong breaking every rule in the book! She sits comfortably at the top of her 40-something years of age and is enjoying a hell of ride carrying now an acting dossier that may very well rival some of the most prominent latinas in the industry.
The story that lies behind Marlene Forte's Hollywood success unfolds like a rags-to-riches movie script, but it is certainly a story rarely told and nothing short of "Forte' Tude"! Her journey from the video counter to the big screen is one of great inspiration and motivation - proving that talent and persistence do pay off.
When Marlene turned 30, she decided to become an actress. That's a late start for most occupations; in Hollywood it's nearly unheard of. But for Cuban born girl named for one of Tinseltown's brightest stars (Marlene Dietrich) perhaps the journey was predestined. Now Forte has carved for herself a successful if unlikely career.
Forte was recently seen in "THE UNIT" (CBS) , "LOST" (ABC) and "CSI" (CBS).
Her other television credits include "The West Wing", "Bones", "Nip/Tuk", "The George Lopez Show" and Oscar winning director Paul Haggis' "Family Law".
Her big-screen ventures include the acclaimed HBO movie "Real Women Have Curves", "Lena's Dream", Jim McKay's "Our Song", and Alfredo de Villa's psychological drama "Adrift in Manhattan" (Sundance 2007), in which she co-stars opposite Heather Graham, William Baldwin, Dominic Chianese and Elizabeth Pena.
"Adrift in Manhattan" premiered at the critically acclaimed Sundance Film Festival this year and was as well an official selection at the 2007 Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival.
On the theater front, Marlene will next be seen in "Hero" written by Luis Alfaro and directed by John Lawrence Rivera which world premieres at Studio Stage Theater on November 10 in Los Angeles. The plays runs through December 16, 2007 and features a prestigious ensemble cast including Ernesto Miyares, Justin Huen and Carla Jimenez.
With a name like Marlene Forte, one can only expect to meet a woman of great strength and determination, armed with a wicked sense of humor and blessed with that certain fiery Latin charisma. And indeed, Marlene wears her moniker quite well. Why? Simply because she has, against all odds, climbed her way to the top one tour de force at a time! Her biography is one that reads more as the perfect script on how to prove Hollywood wrong! The talented Cuban native has carved her path in front of the cameras in a rather unconventional way: backwards, upside down and in reverse, yet always and still proving that acting is certainly her forte. That is probably why she continues to climb to the top no matter what the odds!

DC Filming Reports...
Thanks to Stroche and Spoilertv for the following...
My report from the DC shoots this weekend:
Myself and about 80 other 24 fans watched as various scenes were shot at the JFK house at 33rd and N ST NW in Georgetown. The shoot was outside and inside the JFK house, chosen for it's history, and involved Kiefer (wearing the blue/white striped shirt, black pants and tan long rain jacket/trenchcoat as seen in the promos), Carlos Bernard (Tony, looking bad ass with short hair and black leather jacket as seen in the promos) and an un-named 'bad guy' who implored the fans to cheer for the bad ass bad guy rather then Jack this season...good natured guy. Cinematographer Rodney Charters was on set as well (who I recognized from the DVD extras from past seasons). Kiefer did show up and quickly said hi to the fans as he hopped out of the van he was in, then quickly walked onto set. There were also a fair number of older, white-haired men in fall clothing (sweaters, jackets and ties, etc) who were assembled as extras, but I didn't see them used much in the filming.
As for what was shot in Georgetown while I was there was repeated exterior shots of the house, the previously mentioned bad ass bad guy talking with an older gentleman and then entering the house quietly. Kiefer then was part of the shoot with Carlos as they both talked, walked across the street and entered the house. From my vantage point on the opposite corner (about 50-75 yards away), it seemed as if Tony and Jack were working together or such, because there didn't seem to be any force or anger in the way they approached the house, however one of the prop-masters had been prepping a handgun that he ran over to Kiefer, so he may have had that to force Tony to head to the house. Both of these were shot many times over, and between takes you could see Kiefer smoking, joking with Carlos and enjoying his time on set.
Also, personally, two friends actually bumped into Kiefer and Carlos at Nathan's (bar and upscale restaurant right at the heart of Georgetown at Wisconsin and M St. NW) in Georgetown (perhaps after the referenced dinner from marbethofpob in the Sets and location thread) where he bummed a cigarette off them and bought them all drinks. Here's to hoping Kiefer made use of a cab or driver that night.
I have a few pictures to share that'll I'll try and post up on flicker, but nothing of note outside of the above actors on set and all.
