D.B. Woodside

From shutuprob: Okay, who’s the President on 24 this season? Al Gore?

Shut up, Rob. According to one, two and now three reliable sources connected to Fox, the president will be someone we already know. Someone tied to someone we knew very well. Any guesses?

From lostaway123: Palmer’s brother?

Yes! D.B. Woodside, aka Wayne Palmer! Pretty good, right?

From val: Could Regina [King] be playing Wayne’s wife?

That’s what I was thinking! It is just a sneaking suspicion, but my hunches are that Regina is: Chloe’s new boss or Wayne’s wife. Or, of course, something totally different that we’d never think of, which it will be.

From barco: You said other new characters on 24?

Ah, yes. In addition to Regina and Peter (and we must give props to my frienemy Michael Ausiello for scoop on the latter), there are going to be at least four more newbies added to season six who are—stop the presses—terrorists! Gahhhh! I know we’ve been here before, but I promise this year is "totally different." They are all Middle Eastern terrorists plotting some kind of massive, deadly mission, and one of them is a 21-year-old who lives in the Valley and no one knows he’s a terrorist. I knew the Valley was evil. His dad is also a new character—and wrongfully accused.
