'24' First Lady May Not Be Back

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - When viewers last saw Sherry Palmer on "24," she was being led away in handcuffs for her role in the war-mongering conspiracy that fueled the show's second season.
As things stand now, there's a chance it could be the last time they see her.
Penny Johnson Jerald, who plays the ex-wife of President David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert) on the FOX thriller, was promoted from guest star to series regular this season, but her contract for next year hasn't been renewed. That puts Jerald, who's been receiving an Emmy push for her role, in a sort of professional limbo.
FOX isn't commenting on the status of any "24" cast members other than star Kiefer Sutherland, who will be back for the show's third season. The network says it wants to maintain "storyline secrecy."
A network spokesman says the fact that Jerald's contract wasn't picked up doesn't necessarily mean the actress won't be part of the show next season. He points out that Sarah Clarke, who plays turncoat agent Nina Myers, was in a similar situation prior to this season and still appeared in several episodes as a guest star.
On the other hand, Leslie Hope's contract status at the end of Season 1 was an indication that she wasn't returning.
Jerald bears no ill will toward the producers of "24" and is open to returning to the series, a source tells Zap2it.
