Robert Carlye interrogated for 24 secrets
Lots of news on the 24 TVM and its delayed seventh season, this time from new co-star Robert Carlyle, who spoke to Premiere.com. Strangely, Carlye suggested November's TVM will also comprise the first few hours of 24's seventh season (due to air in '09), but this was quickly denied by a FOX network exec speaking to TV Guide.
Still, the confirmed intel gleamed from Carlyle is:
1. The TVM will be set in the fictional African nation of Sangala.
2. Carlyle plays Jack's best friend, but hasn't seen him in over a decade.
3. Carlyle's character might not appear in season 7.
I may not have mentioned this before, but it's also known season 7 takes place 4 years after season 6 -- because Chloe O'Brien's child will be 4 years old. The TVM will be set several months before season 7. Of course, nitpicky fans have been calculating these sizeable gaps between all the seasons, concluding that Jack must be 51 years old and season 7 will take place in 2017! It seems even time can't catch up with ol' Jack...
