And, actually, Chloe wasn't in the original 24. The only character that I can think of besides Jack that isn't dead or in prison from the original 24 is Kim.

Yeah, I meant original 24 as in seasons 1-8 which I think is technically, though not in practicality, a different series than 24LAD. That's what I meant when I said Chloe (besides Jack) is the only person who: a) was in original 24 b) was in 24LAD and c) could possibly still play a role in next season (Premise c eliminates Heller, Audrey and Cheng). And that's also why I mentioned I wouldn't mind seeing Pierce or Wayne return from the "original" 24.

I think you're right that Jack and Kim are the only ones from Season 1 not dead/in prison (although Jack is now "in prison" with the Russians technically). In fact, the only other character I can think of who had a major role in season 1 at all that's still alive is Tony (and he even already "died"). 24 is pretty brutal to its characters. I did mention earlier I didn't want Tony back, but his ending also disappointed me so I wouldn't mind if he was brought back for a more satisfying personal conclusion. But at the same time, he's kind of run his course. I really wish they just wouldn't have brought him back in the first place.

I still maintain I want to find out about Pierce and Wayne. They both had pretty major roles and were both likable characters but kind of just disappeared out of the 24 limelight without us really hearing anything about them at all.

ETA: And I agree, it should not return if Kate's in the lead, with the main purpose to try to "rescue" Jack. And that's not even anything against Kate, I'd say the same thing if it was anyone but Jack. Jack's the main character. It's not 24 without him in the lead role.
