I mostly will miss her.On finding out Renee would die in Season 8…
Annie Wersching: “[The producers] came to me at the beginning of the season,” she reveals. At top of season, they didn’t know all that much of what they wanted to do, but the one main thing they wanted to do was bring her back damaged, save her, have them get together and have her taken away from him which leads [Jack] to the path for the rest of the series. I knew that was set in stone. They knew I was sad about it and upset, but these are the moments that make 24 so great.On making love with Jack and dying in the same episode…
Annie Wersching: “I kind of wish, the Jack/Renee love story making would’ve had its own episode to resonate before she got shot,” says Wersching. “That was a huge moment in the show because it’s the first time Jack has ever done that.

Annie Wersching: I knew before Season 8 started.

Annie Wersching: I’m a huge 24-head and have watched every episode of every season. I thought, “Oh, bummer,” but a cool a– death on 24 is like a big moment that you remember years later, so I knew it would have a big impact. When I learned that it was in Episode 17, I found out from a director who was like, “Oh I just read Episode 17 and you get it and then you get it.” I was very emotional that night.

It was the shocker of shockers for 24 fans.

A little more cuddling might have been nicer, Wersching tells TVGuideMagazine.com.
What a way to go, huh?
Right? It was so sad because Jack and Renee were finally in a good emotional place after so much turmoil. It was almost like, ‘Look what could have been.’ They had taught each other so much and now…she’s gone.Was it emotional for you personally?
Are you kidding? I knew it was coming from before the season began, but I was bawling after and then I bawled again when I watched the episode. It wasn’t about losing a job or anything. I just really felt sad for Renee and Jack even though I know they’re just characters. At one point, I looked over at my friends with tears in my eyes and went, ‘Hey, does this make me a crazy person?’”What kind of day-after reaction did you get from fans.
Oh, my gosh! More than I could have ever imagine. That night there were hundreds and hundreds of messages online from fans. The first slew of them was just like, “NOOOOOOO!” All caps and lots of expletives. Then people told me they were crying. Even men said, ‘I can’t believe it. I never cried watching TV but this did it.’ Other people were pissed.
