Gregory Itzin is set to return to Fox’s “24,” as Charles Logan for multiple episodes in its new, upcoming season 8,according to Michael Ausiello over at EW. They report that Logan will resurface towards the end of Day 8 when Cherry Jones’ President reluctantly gets her disgraced predecessor to help out with an escalating diplomatic crisis.

The executive producer Howard Gordon told them, that the opportunity to watch Jones and Itzin have a head-to-head run-in “was simply too compelling to pass up.”

The Charles Logan character appeared for the last time in season 6, after he almost got stabbed to death by his former wife, Martha. Jon Cassar who was the executive producer at the time said that he did everything he could not to kill him,and left it open for him to come back.

He stated, “I did everything I could not to kill him. I wanted to give us the [option] to potentially bring him back.”
