Elisha Cuthbert is returning back to the Bauer home. According to Entertainment Weekly, Cuthbert has officially signed on to come back as Kim Bauer, daughter of Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer, on 24.

"Sources confirm to me exclusively that Cuthbert has inked a deal to reprise her role as Jack's lightning rod of an offspring for a season-ending arc that will no doubt trigger a new round of wholly outdated and painfully unfunny cougar jokes," said EW's Michael Ausiello in his Ask Auseillo column.

It also goes on to say that she will be appearing without her old boyfriend, originally played by C. Thomas Howell, but with a child of her own.
