More 24 Season 8 Casting News (Kim's daughter)

From Ausiello's twitter

24 Spoiler: Will Kim follow pops to NY next season? 24 casting 6-year-old to play Kim's now-3 or 4 y.o. daughter Teri for arc. Hmm..

Hmm is correct at least for me.  I can see this playing out a few ways

1. Season 8 will actually follow the natural progression of past 24 seasons. (a few years between seasons) If this is true, then color me pleased because it could possibly mean that we'll see a doting grandfather named Jack Bauer who's as healthy as when Kim was around before.  The show runs in real time so there's no way possible that Teri could go from being a toddler to a 3 or 4year old.  This pretty much shoots down the whole "Season 8 is 6 weeks or sooner after the end of Season 7" storyline.  The only other possibility is that there could be a "flash forward" sequence which I truly doubt the writers and staff of 24 would ever do.  

2. Kim dies at the end of this season  (due to either the treatment or at the hands of Tony) and Kim's Husband moves closer to NYC so Jack can have contact with young Teri

3. This casting call is a smokescreen to keep viewers in the dark about what is going to happen in Season 8.  

I hope that Kim doesn't die at the end of this season, but the staff of 24 has been known to change the game completely in the last hour or two of a season, so I wouldn't put it past them.  


****edited to add from SpoilerTV
