OlderSarah Wayne Callies: FOX Made Me Quit
According to an interview in French magazine Tele Star, former Prison Break star Sarah Wayne Callies, aka Dr. Sara Tancredi, was forced to quit the show. Here is a rough translation of the interview (if the magazine is credible):
Big surprise on Prison Break. We hear that you’re leaving the show in the third season. Yes, but I didn’t have the choice. I’m sad, but it’s just show business.
You weren’t expecting this? No, at the end of season 2 last year. I was sure I’d continue. It’s such a great adventure we achieved.
How did you know you were fired? I don’t want to speculate too much about this. I was shocked.
Your leaving the show was a big deal. You have to tell us more! I’ll just say this. I am sorry to let down the viewers. I have loved the support Sara Tancredi got from them. and though she was a victim of her own destiny, I liked how she made decisions by herself. But the way things ended up couldn’t have been foreseen. Again, I was deceived by the decision.
How did your fellow actors react? They told me ‘It’s too bad. I loved working with you and good luck, we hope we can work together again.’
And Wentworth [Miller]? We were so sad that we wouldn’t work together anymore. Wentworth is a gentleman. He’s gracious and full of class. And i learned a lot from him. But in a series like “Prison Break,” apart from Wentworth, anyone can go. When I took the role of Sara, I thought it’d be for only a year. Afterwards, I was so happy to get a second year.
If they call you back, will you accept? Of course! I don’t have another role right now. Right now, I need to find work.
How will Sara make her exit from the series? I don’t know. I’m not part of the team anymore and don’t have any influence on the storyline.
How is being a mom to baby Keala? It’s a rich experience and unpredictable. You can’t plan anything. (Keala was born in July 2007.)
What projects do you currently have today? I’ll rest another month in Vancouver (Canada). Afterwards, I’ll go to California for a little bit. After that, I’d like to do theater in New York. I honed my skills on the stage and I miss it.

TELLING INTERVIEW! Anyway, how was yesterday’s Prison Break episode “Call Waiting”? How LAME was Tancredi’s body double? And the lame voiceover voice? And what do you think is in the box that Lincoln opened up at the very end of the episode? Somebody’s finger of decapitated head, perhaps?

Hey Guys,
I’m french, don’t believe what is told in that magazine, they’re very known for their misleding interviews..
Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
it going to be cancelled…….there are exactly 5 million or so MISA videos in youtube made by 10 million fans of sarah wayne callies fans…and they all signed a petition for her to be keep in the show…if this true.the show will loose possible 5 million viewers…and ratings will drop that will lead to cancellation……
Reception in the USA
The following seasonal rankings are based on average total viewers per episode as recorded by Nielsen Media Research. The recording period begins in late September (the start of the U.S. network television season) and ends in late May.

3 2007–2008 Monday 8:00 pm ET — —
for season 3 i predict that the show ratings from 9.3 million will go down as helllll!!!!!!!!and when that day comes i’m so gonna laugh at fox!!!!
If it is true then it’s a shame but if you think about it, there was nowhere for her character to go. She killed a man and allowed Michael to take the rap for it. If she loved Michael then she would have admitted to the crime then be incarcerated herself! Whant then? Is she gonna try and break out or is Michael gonna try and break her out? The whole MISA saga was enthralling but at the end of the day acting is a fickle and unstable business and no one is indisposable. I’ll keep watching PB regardless (unless they kill off Michael of course!!).
I’ve read this news yesterday, but I hoped it was a fake or something like that. I can’t still believe that Sarah was fired… and I can’t believe that they said that SHE WON’T COME BACK, when it wasn’t true. They fooled us… Nick Santora and every PB producers fooled us, and I can’t accept that… I could accept the dead of Sara… I love her, but I could accept her dead. But not this. I can’t believe that we’re nothing for theme. We see the show, they work thanks us and we deserve just lies? I don’t really know what I’ve to think…
Hey guys!
i’m french . Telestar is not a very credible source . And i don’t think sarah waynes callies has given an interview to telestar! instead of tv guide or other american mags…
this is not going to be true!!!
they can’t just kick her off!!!
i will really miss michael n’ sara..=(
MiSa/Sara was the only reason i was watching this show. So i’m out.
i think the show is dead.
I wouldn’t believe this French mag. I’m really disappointed that JustJared is posting this without caring whether it is legit.
one hot chick nd she is gone:(( shame ! nd i dont think that she was pregnant was a problem..she got her baby already..she could be back…however i hate when they get rid off nice characters! i think its her head in there…
I’m not believing any of these rumors until someone *official* actually confirms that it’s true- a.k.a Brett Rattner, Nick Santora, or, Sarah Wayne Callies (probably through her agent)… I, like others who have posted, don’t think Sarah woudl go to a European magazine to dish the dirt as to whether or not she’s leaving..
But, on the bright side, Congrats to Sarah and Josh on the birth of their baby!!
I miss sarah. I loved her relationship with michael. wentworth drives me crazy
If this is true, I am totally WTF? about it. Why on earth would Fox do this? Makes no sense. They already knew she was going to be off for a few months for maternity leave, and had had plenty of time to work out how to write around her absence.
And if they did, they really do deserve the whole world of hurt this is going to bring them.
What’s in the box?
1. You cut a hole in the box.
2. Put your junk in that box.
3. Make him open the box.
It’s LJ’s d**k in a box!
why has she given a interview to a french magazine ? Because PB is a very huge hit in France. More than 5 millions viewers each epiosde. In proportion, are there more than 25 millions viewers in the US ? I don’t think so…
anyway this will be tha last season for prison break
tenacious gay rumours +
SWC leaving +
low ratings =
THE END
I feel just like #43 I love Michael and Sarah relationship on the show. I love watching their scenes together. I love Wentworth but I don’t know if I will ever like for him to have a different love interest on PB.
Hi,i am a french girl, you should not believe this french magazine, it’s not a credible source.sorry my english is bad lol !!
Help us to save Sarah Wayne Callies and Dr. Sara:

So THIS is why we get some ri-dic-u-lous scenes of a fake Sarah held hostage? Cheeseball cheapasses couldn’t even bring her back to kill the character off with some drama and dignity? I loved the Sarah character and lord knows it’ll be her head in that oooh-spooky box **rolls eyes**
JUSTJARED!
May you see if Fox can confirm this? If this is true, it is going to make Fox people and PB people look pretty awful. Because it appears she may have been let go for being pregnant and/or having a baby.
i do not believe this at all. she will be coming back nex season and for season 3 her role will be portrayed skillfully. She is just having some time off with the baby……………………..and by the way what are the reasons for her dismissal that is so not an issue………….she was great in there anfd i believe she will be back
By the way great job WM and Dominic
I think its more believable that Sarah Wayne Callies decided to leave the show in order to be a full time mom. Also its possible that Fox just wants everyone to believe that sarah isn’t coming back so that they can keep the show interesting.

Same here, I’ll wait for an “official” announcement and I was thinking the same thing “How did the Tele-Star get the scoop before a US source did?!?! I wonder what type of magazine the Tele-Star is, a tabloid type mag or a pretty reliable mag!? I have a feeling it’s hogwash, but we’ll see, I could be wrong!
Dun dun dunnnn…Have to wait and see if “a certain someone’s head” is in that box or not this Monday, although I’d rather it be JT’s, make that WM’s, d*ck in a box (lol @ 45)
Ha ha Sara, blah blah blah………Anyway, that box better have her head in it or I’m going to be PISSED!!
love the show. it’s brilliantly executed and always suspenseful in spite of all the time viewers had to wait for new episodes!
i hope the rumor isn’t true. their relatinship took such a long time to develop and now they want sarah out?
sarah’s ugly, and her character sucked. thank god she’s gone, she served no purpose on the show. i hope its her head in that box and linc uses it for a soccer ball
I wish they would bring Sarah Wayne Callies back to close out her storyline with the real actress. I really hope that they would at least give her character that much time so that the story ends properly. Even Mischa Barton got killed off The OC acting her own part and without a look-alike actress. If this article is realistic I would think that if Sarah Wayne Callies knew they wanted her off the show that she would at least agree to go back for one episode to film her own death. And there is no way they could have fired her for being pregnant. Thats illegal.
I WANT A HAPPY END FOR MISA!!!
