http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Michelle_Dessler/ Was it in the interest of the show to kill Michelle Dessler? We don’t think so because by doing that , they killed 2 birds with one stone : not only one of the best female characters of 24 but also the couple who had the best chemistry we had ever seen on TV. According to the producer Howards Gordon, they ran out of her story. But if they didn’t need her in season 5, why didn’t they try to find another way to justify her absence? To deprive the show of this great character forever or to deprive the fans of the hope to see her again... Michelle was definitively part of the show; not only because she was there for three years but also because every ingredient was satisfied to make her endearing: the scenario (she has looked death in the face so many times with the CTU explosion, the virus or her kidnapping...) and her talent . The show has lost its credibility: why don’t the other characters seem to be sad when they learn of her death? We thought that Jack was supposed to be her friend and Buchanan to have a soft spot for her. Anyway, by playing in 24 Reiko proved to the great majority who didn't know her before at which point she was talented; she made a name for herself. We can't help thinking that without Michelle, 24 will never be the same. And no doubt the show lost more than the actress. Because if Michelle isn't coming back , Reiko is more present than ever in the heart of million people now... it's just the beginning of a brilliant career!

Bring her back!!!!! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Michelle_Dessler/#sig4578960 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. I love Reiko Aylesworth in 24... To me 24 died the moment they killed Michelle. I forced myself watching season 5 and 6, hoping they would bring back Tony and Michelle. I think this show has lost it's credibility.. By killing Tony, Michelle and David Palmer, there isn't anyone left who is worth watching. Yes, Chloe and I love her but Michelle was and is my favorite character. I immediately noticed her in season 2 even though after Nina killed Teri and Jack didn't trust anybody, he trusted her. Michelle is a strong character and goes after what she wants. She doesn't have to be on the show if the producers don't want to, but not kill her. I'm now watching season 7 and I'm glad that Tony is back but he is different. He isn't the Tony I used to know. Michelle made him a better person and please bring her back !! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Michelle_Dessler/#sig4545000 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Michelle_Dessler/#sig4541657 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. We need Michelle back.
