Warning: Spoilers ahead for 24: Live Another Day.

What do you think, 24 fans? Is he really dead?

Did James Heller (William Devane), the Alzheimer's-stricken POTUS who sacrificed himself in an effort to save the world from Margot Al-Harazi's drone attacks, die when Margot blew up the field at Wembley Stadium? It sure looked like there was no way Heller could have survived the attack — half of the field disintegrated! — but a 24 death of this magnitude is always accompanied by a silent countdown clock. And this episode? Well, it didn't end with a silent countdown clock.

Could Chloe somehow have pulled off a bit of magic at the last minute, gaining access to Margot's computer system and redirecting the drone launch, while making the Al-Harazis think they killed Heller? Or is there really just no way Heller lived, and we're simply too fixated on that silent clock? For comment on that, what's really going on with sneaky Steve Navarro, the second greatest Jack Bauer quote in 24 history, and the upcoming 24: Live Another Day time jump (or is it jumps?), Yahoo TV talked to LAD showrunners Evan Katz and Manny Coto, who were, understandably, a little evasive with a few of their answers.

Is President Heller really dead? It seems clear that he is, but there was no silent clock at the end.

Katz: Do you really want us to ruin an entire week of anticipation for you?



Yes. And no. But what about the lack of a silent clock? If it weren't for that, people probably would assume he definitely is gone.

Coto: Well, we kind of…



Katz: Not everybody gets a silent clock.

Coto: Yes, not everyone gets a silent clock. It's for certain characters. We have a new post-[production] team that may not be up to speed on the whole silent clock thing. [Laughs.]

Did you actually film that drone attack scene in Wembley?

Coto: Yes. It was incredible… but there were so many rules, I think all they really let [us] do is walk Heller out onto the grass. Very few people could go out onto the grass. But it was wonderful they let us do it. The city of London's been so great about letting us use London in the show.

So if there is a chance that President Heller survives, we know Chloe was working fast and furiously on getting into Margot's computer system with the drones. She told Jack she couldn't get into one. There were two others that she was working on. Could that have allowed for last-minute control of where the drone was actually aimed?

Coto: I guess. I just don't know if there was enough time.
