- Originally cast to play a character in the first season of 24 - produced by the same people who produced her previous series Nikita - Watson fell sick and the role was renamed, Alberta Green, in her honour and given to Tamara Tunie. In 2005, she finally did join the cast in the show's fourth season playing CTU Director Erin Driscoll. After just twelve episodes, however, Driscoll was written out of the series - one of a number of cast changes around that time with the sole motivation seeming to be to allow for the return of former characters.
