Move over, Nancy and Hillary. The ex-First Lady who Americans most
love to hate, Sherry Palmer, is coming back. Penny Johnson Jerald tells
USA Today that she'll bring her devious divorc�e character back to
''24'' for ''a handful of episodes,'' starting Jan. 13. (That's 10 p.m.,
in ''24'' time.)
Sherry, last seen dodging a sniper after having double-crossed
nuclear terrorists last season, will be up to no good again, though
Johnson Jerald is tight-lipped on the details. She'll only say that,
''the moment Sherry comes on the scene, all hell breaks loose in all
areas.''
Of returning to the role, Johnson Jerald says, ''I'm having too much
fun. This is scrumptious.'' Sherry may not stick around for long this
time, the actress says, but she'll continue to pop up and make mischief
for Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer. ''Sherry's like that Jason character
that never dies,'' she says.
