The cast of the new season was brought into my office on a tour way back before the writers' strike and before Keifer's prison stay. They apparently started filming this season quite a while back. Anyway, none of the main starts from previous years were here -- the new female president's son and his wife, plus some of the crew and minor cast members were here. I was hoping Chloe, Jack, and some of the other main characters would come, but no dice. Looking forward to the new season, though. Glad to see that Jack is finally out of L.A.
