It’s no surprise that fans want Tony Almeida back in 24: Live Another Day. There have been numerous internet petitions and a constant barrage of tweets to the producers begging them to bring back the fan favorite character.

Just last week 24 writer and executive producer David Fury tweeted there wasn’t any plans for Tony at the moment but “one never knows where the arc will take us”. Now a return of Tony Almeida is looking a lot more likely:

Just had dinner with Carlos Bernard. Read into that what you will. — David Fury (@TheDavidFury) December 13, 2013 Full disclosure – Howard Gordon, composer Sean Callery, Manny Coto and Patrick Somerville were there, too. — David Fury (@TheDavidFury) December 13, 2013

For those unaware, Howard Gordon, Manny Coto, and Patrick Somerville are all fellow writers on 24: Live Another Day. The logical assumption would be that they’re pitching storylines to Carlos and discussing ways his character could possibly return. Do you want to see him back?
