At least temporarily. Michael Ausiello is reporting that Mary Lynn Rajskub will be breaking from 24 mid season to have her baby, causing Chloe O’Brian to exit as well. Why will Chloe be leaving? (SPOILER WARNING) Apparently she departs because of an emergency with her now four year old son, Preston O’Brian.

But who’ll help save the world since Chloe’s busy, you ask? Well apparently Carlo Rota (Morris O’Brian) will be returning the show after all. Last month I reporter that Rota wasn’t sure if scheduling would work out with 24 this season, and apparently it has. Morris will sub for Chloe while she’s out dealing with their son’s emergency.

It surely can’t be that big of an emergency if Morris can still help at non-CTU.

Are you guys excited that Rota’s returning, or did his season six appearance not make an impact?

While promoting his latest project, a Canadian remake of Othello to air on CBC Sunday, Carlo Rota told the Toronto Star that the writers’ strike caused him to drop out of 24. Rota, who also stars on CBC’s hit comedy Little Mosque on the Prairie, was forced to choose between both shows, and he chose Little Mosque over 24 because the strike went on so long.

That doesn’t mean that he won’t return to 24 for the upcoming season. Apparently producers want him back (someone’s gotta watch the baby which Chloe saves the world), but scheduling conflicts are causing both parties to “be a bit nebulous about it” according to Rota.
