The last time we saw Martha Logan, she had jammed a kitchen utensil into her ex-husband’s neck.  At that moment, I knew it was true love.  Of course both Martha and President Logan’s fates were left dangling in season six, never to be mentioned again….  Yeah, I know, stupid right?  Well the past week or so, rumours have be circulating that Jean Smart may be making an appearance as Martha next season, but Ausiello reports that that rumour is indeed FALSE.

However, that doesn’t mean we’ll never hear about what happened to our favourite crazy blond.  Jon Cassar says that we will find out what happened to Martha next year.  Also, we’ll eventually get answers as to what happened to Charles Logan when the paramedics took the fork out as well.  But the time-line is a little less definitive on that one.

What do you think became of Martha?  Do you think Aaron gave up wrangling the crazy and put had her institutionalized?  Post your theories below.

While 24 was out of contention this year because it has not aired in FOREVER, Jean Smart did manage to pick up a nomination.  Smart was nominated as best supporting actress in a comedy for her work as Regina Newly, in ABC’s Samantha Who.

This is Smart’s fifth Emmy nomination, the previous four were for two guest performances on Frasier (which she won), and both a regular and guest nomination as Martha Logan on 24.

The Emmy award’s will be announced on September 21st.

The New York Times loves Jean Smart, so much so they’ve named her to their ‘Roles of the Season, Maybe a Lifetime’ list, for her performance in ABC’s Samantha Who. But they also highlighted her scene stealing role as Martha Logan on 24 saying, “Nearly every time she has appeared on television in the past few years, you have wanted her to sit tight and stay. As Martha Logan, wife of the weasely, Nixonian commander in chief during the fifth season of “24” (and his ex, briefly and brilliantly this past season), she gave us torment and grievance and righteous fury.

I think we can all agree that Jean Smart was not only stand out in season five, but stole the show when she returned briefly as Martha Logan in season six.
