Chloe O'Brien: 24's real hero

As 24 shuttles towards its conclusion this week, and after most of the cast decide to call it a day, there is one character we demand returns next year. Well two, really. Techie eye-candy Adam must not be allowed to get away, neither must CTU misery Chloe. For the first few hours we were unsure of her purpose. She was miserable, made insensitive comments, and was just pruely irritating. It was only when we realised that she wasn't simply a red-herring, but this year's comedy character that we realised she was the second best thing in the show (number one being Sherry Palmer's evil fringe). Chloe's flipancy, scowling and generaly oddness provide brief relief from the twisty-turny plots, and we want more of her next year. team her up with Jack and send her into the field. Series four will need all the familiar faces it can muster.
