[edit] Concept and creation
Cherry Jones was the first major casting addition to the seventh season.[1]
"It’s time to go back to an idealized president -- a well-articulated and idealized president," said Howard Gordon.[2] "[Her] greatest flaw is her idealism. And I think that's a fun part to play. What happens when somebody's idealism butts up against the realpolitik of the world? But she's a very human character, and I think a very strong president and aspirational in the kind of way David Palmer was."[3] "It is an heroic administration. Cherry Jones plays the president brilliantly," he continued.[3]
Jones has said that Taylor is "an honorable, courageous, upright kind of gal [and] very much her own person. [...] The president makes a very bold move, which then sets off the cataclysmic events" that the US has yet to experience.[4]
