Entertainment Weekly has confirmed that Katee Sackhoff, from Battlestar Galactica, has been tapped to play the series regular role of Dana Walsh on Season 8 of 24!
Walsh will be a highly respected and down-to-earth data analyst at the new and improved New York branch of CTU.
Her character is in a relationship with fellow agent Davis Cole (played by the just-cast Freddie Prinze. Jr.), and she apparently has a skeleton in her closet she’s trying desperately to keep hidden.
Season Eight will unfold in New York City amidst the shadows of the Statue of Liberty and the United Nations. In this new day, CTU has been upgraded and is run by MBA-schooled and razor-sharp head honcho BRIAN HASTINGS (Williamson, “Forrest Gump”). COLE ORTIZ (Prinze Jr.), an ex-Marine who wants to follow in JACK BAUER’s (Sutherland) footsteps, runs the division’s Field Operations. Expert data analyst DANA WALSH (Sackhoff, “Battlestar Galactica”) collaborates with systems analyst ARLO GLASS (Boyd, “The Notorious Bettie Page”) inside CTU. ROB WEISS (Diamantopoulos, “The Starter Wife”) serves as PRESIDENT ALLISON TAYLOR’s (Cherry Jones) new chief of staff, and MEREDITH REED (Westfeldt, “Grey’s Anatomy”) is an ambitious journalist with ties to the unfolding situation.

Not sure I like the sound of the new CTU… but I’ll just have to wait and see.

I put this in the wrong place, but I think Katie is being oversold. I see many places they claim she is co starring with Jack, but she is not co starring on an equal basis with Kiefer, she is going to be just another series regular. Many talented actors have appeared on the show and not have been billed as co-starring with Jack or Kiefer.
