September 3, 2008 - A somewhat controversial character will return to 24 this season, as Kim Bauer comes back to the series.

EW.com's Michael Ausiello reports that Elisha Cuthbert has signed on to return in a story arc that will occur at the end of Season 7.

Ausiello gets a bit more Spoilery too, revealing Kim will return without her boyfriend she was with when last we saw her in Season 5, played by C. Thomas Howell. However, she will have a child, meaning Jack Bauer will have to adjust to being Grandpa Jack.

Kim hasn't exactly been the most beloved of 24 characters, with many still making jokes about the infamous cougar storyline from Season 2. That being the case, it should be interesting to see how she's handled this time around.

Cuthbert won't be the only character from 24's early days returning - It's already been revealed that Carlos Bernard is back as Tony Almeida.

24's seventh season debuts in January on FOX.
