One of my all-time favorite 24 heroines is being admitted to the ER.

Sources confirm that Reiko Aylesworth — who kicked ass as CTU boss Michelle Dessler (until her inevitable death) — is joining the cast as County General's hot and hip new chaplain who starts a very intimate, ahem, prayer group with John Stamos' Gates. (For those of you who suck at innuendo, "intimate prayer group" is a double entendre for "steamy hospital sex.")

And before you go ratting her out to God, Aylesworth's preacher woman is allowed to lead a normal life, and that includes wearing slutty regular clothes and having sex with dating whomever she wants.
