OlderSarah Wayne Callies: Back from the Dead!
In one crazy unexpected twist, Sarah Wayne Callies is coming back to Prison Break next season!!!
Yes, even after her character, Dr. Sara Tancredi was unexpectedly beheaded last season. Apparently she had a contract dispute with 20th Century last year but that’s all been resolved.
In the fourth episode of season three (”Good Fences”), Sara’s head was presumably decapitated, placed in a box, and sent to Lincoln Burrows. So how can she be written back into the series?
Prison Break executive producer Matt Olmstead tells TV Guide,”Lincoln glanced at the head in the box for a split second. That could’ve been anyone. He wasn’t about to pull it up from the hair and inspect it closely.”
Olmstead also admitted that the fans affected the decision to bring back Sarah. “…once we started talking about it, it was mentioned again that fans are still wondering about her. And when people who are fans of the show — and of Sarah — are asking, “Is she really dead?”, what they’re saying, essentially, is, “I hope she’s not dead.”

“Sorry to burst your sick bubble, but MOST OF US ARE HAPPY that SWC is coming back. Maybe you can find some way to GET OVER IT, like:
Go rent ‘SE7EN’ and watch it until your eyeballs fall out…since you seem to find death and despair so ENTERTAINING…”
Sorry to burst your “soap” bubble but we thought prison break would be about prisons, conspiracies and action. In these occassions death occurs often, so if you can’t stand it there are plenty of soap operas you can enjoy.
“Get a job as a writer with FOX. and have it your way…oh wait… sorry, you’re NOT QUALIFIED, are you? You have no talent, no imagination, and most of all NO SOUL.”
FOX writers were qualified until some fans acted like 15 year-olds yelling bring Sara baaaaaaaaack , so now you write the scripts and put decapitated heads back. Congratulations, you got the job.
When is the next season starting?
Production starts early May and season 4 airs on September.
I am still in daze that Sara is coming back on the show. I am so thrilled and excited how the writers are goin to pull it off.
Bring on SEASON 4!!!

“…we thought Prison Break would be about prisons, conspiracies, and action.”
AND IT HAS BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE. THE RETURN OF SWC TO THE SHOW WILL NOT CHANGE THAT. HER RETURN WILL SIMPLY ADD AN ADDITIONAL, RICHER LAYER TO THE PLOTLINE.
“…so now you write the scripts and put decapitated heads back.”
DR. SARA WAS NOT DECAPITATED. THAT WAS NOT HER HEAD IN THE BOX. IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE’S HEAD. DR. SARA IS STILL ALIVE, HEAD AND BODY TOGETHER. SOME OF YOU CAN’T SEEM TO GRASP THAT.
(Sorry if it looked like I was shouting. I was just trying to clarify who said what.)
I am so excited about Sara returning! I don’t think it is far fetched at all! If you think about it, when season 3 began, Lincoln went looking for Sara, and the guy at the morgue called him and said they found her, but it was someone that looked like Sara! Gretchen probably cut the head off the look-a-like to make Lincoln beleive she was dead!
And don’t forget about the woman on the phone booth who they shot to death thinking that it was Sara Tancredi. Or the fact that the company as they imply to be vigorously powerful that they can fool the general consensus that Terrance Steadman is DEAD.

“Sorry to burst your “soap” bubble but we thought prison break would be about prisons, conspiracies and action. In these occassions death occurs often, so if you can’t stand it there are plenty of soap operas you can enjoy.”
I see Sara as a solid character who gives edge and thrill to the story. She has great dynamics with all the characters she’s in contact with (for my better judgment, I believe it has to do with the actress SWC).
Mahone and Sara
Kellerman and Sara
Agent Blondie Bugspray and Sara
Nika and Sara
… and the list goes on.
There are numerous ways we can speculate how her character will move forward with the show. Yes, she has so many flaws but her strong will and inevitable perseverance outnumbered them all. She’s great, I love her, and I can’t wait what the writers have in store for her next season.
I think you misunderstood me people.
I really liked Sarah very much and I found the actress who played her very good. When she died I was surprised and sad, but at the same time I appreciated the show a lot more. I said ,hey these people are serious. Well, it’s all about taste and when it comes to mine, I like such plot twists and surprises in tv shows or movies.
Sara’s death was COMPLETELY CLEAR to me and whatever way they find to bring her back it will look just unessessary and stupid. If it was science fiction or a soap opera I would happily accept her return , but now…. I don’t think so, it will just make the show worse, IMO.
If you are referring to me, I don’t think I misunderstood you in any way. I know and accept the fact that you think bringing Sara Tancredi will be completely ludicrous and out of context but to me it’s the complete opposite. I was extremely bombarded with grief when her “supposedly head” was put in that box, yes, but the plot holes was sky rocketing over the course season 3 and not only because of the fact of the HIAB.
Bringing her back will and might cover up those plot holes. They’ve been playing us and kept us hanging what the company really is. Seeing that Sara was held captive for god knows the reason why, maybe she have seen and will give us an overview on what the company is all about. Over the span of those days when she was held and what they did to her, I think that’s a strong plot we need to see and don’t want to miss.
Her death is very debatable. Among others, I don’t think her demise was completely clear at all.
1. The head looks like a fake ceramic. As an art student, I can argue with the fact that it looks like bad replica of a wax sculpture (no offense to the artist).
2. Again, as I mentioned recently, we are dealing with the “company” who they say to be extreme and malevolent that can FAKE things out.
a. Put Lincoln Burrows to jail of a crime he never commits.
b. Eradicated Kellerman’s files as if he was never part of the secret service.
c. Fake Terrance Steadman’s death.
d. Blamed LJ for murdering his mother and step-father
e. Made it look like Frank Tancredi committed suicide.
and the list goes on…
There are so many things that I find in this show completely out of context but those things are the ones that makes the show. For instance, we all know there is not a single soul who can sew their hands back with no medical reference and still ends up alive. Now that is a bit outrageous but to me its pure entertainment. There is no way a guy who just lost two toes can walk as if he’s not missing any at all. Lincoln was shot on the leg and the next thing we know, he magically healed himself.
There are so many things I find remarkably far fetch in this show. We all can argue all we want, but in the end, Sara Tancredi is back, it’s the last season, whatever happens happens.
Sara Tancredi is back!!!
The sun will shine again!!!!
Welcome back, Sarah Wayne Callies! You have NO IDEA how much you were missed!

Plus there is no way a guy so good looking like Michael Scolfield get away from T-Bag’s pocket
Yes, RC you are so right. The show is completely outrageous but pure entertaining.
Season 1 was interesting
Season 2 was generally O.K but predictable
Season 3 was stupid and outrageous
Season 4 will be stupid, outrageous but also very entertaining cause there will be a lot of laughing. I ‘m definetally going to watch it
She has got to be back in season 4 ! I love Sarah!!!!
she is so wonderful in prison break, I love her work and
she really brings out michael’s ‘romantic’ side, which is wonderful
of course!! =D
You know, I’m trying to figure out when exactly Prison Break jumped the shark and am now convinced it was actually in the last episode of season 1.
GAWD; to completely f**k up a show because the producers believe a thriller must revolve around a love-interest! I have no words.
Fuckkkk, I hate that *****! KEEP HER OFF!
@anya:
Go back and watch Prison Break Seasons 1, 2, and 3 with a stopwatch and count the number of minutes Dr. Sara has onscreen in each episode.
Then come back here and tell us how Prison Break “revolves around a love-interest”.
SHEESH…
How true-to-life is a show that revolves around two thirty-something heterosexual brothers who have no women in their lives?
I feel very sad for all you people who have such a negative view of love and romance.
Oh Irine, you are debating to your own words. I guess that’s just all you have to say
And snarky comments never works specially when your sarcasm is a bit of putting as to what you said on your previous comment 
“How true-to-life is a show that revolves around two thirty-something heterosexual brothers who have no women in their lives?”
WORD! I guess some people would prefer these protagonists (especially Michael) a sob for the rest of their lives with no family and future ahead of them. And oh don’t say how about LJ and a dive shop are rainbows and sunshine.
RC, I was perfectly clear. I liked Sarah and Michael’s romance. I was SAD and SURPRISED when she died, BUT, it was a plot twist which upgraded my appreciation for the show, especially after that other “shark” stuff with T-Bag’s hand and some other unrealistic things that you already mentioned. Sarah ’s death might be a bad decision, but bringing her back for the sake of romance… is rediculous.
After that, my aspect for the show will be different, and yes, it will include laughing.
I appreciate your coherency unlike some people who end up giving rude annotations to Sara’s fans. I find it very offensive that they attack individuals more so those that they don’t even know. So I give you my total respect for not going over board from the fact that I like Sara.
And what made you think that Sara’s character is written just for the romance? As a matter of fact, I love her even more when she’s not around Michael. I see her as a heroin, a sturdy poll that holds the show well grounded, and not just a soppy damsel in distress waiting for her knight and shinning armor to swipe her off her feet.
I find her character inspiring in many levels. And when they killed her off, it was a huge mistake due to the fact that they built this staggering character, who have been through a lot but managed to lift herself back and kept moving forward.
And why is that laughable?
If you haven’t been to this community where all the Sara(h) fans unite for a common goal and effort of bringing her back, then you should. You may not see it just yet, but a lot of people see her as a role model.

I guess you guy forgot l.j. told linc whats her name was a crazy ***** and watched her cut off sarahs head, I really cant see it happening
I have to start watching again! cause i was really missing sarah and certainly this will be the last part of the prison break so i’m greatful to see that sarah is back in action.
I,m glad to see that sarah is back from death and i hope micheal will so romatic with sarah.
I hope micheal will feel comfortable
RC,
I never really regarded Sarah as a heroine the way you do, although I found her really cool when she used that needle to saw her cuts. My standards for heroines are a little different, Sarah isn’t my best option.
RC you said:
“I love her even more when she’s not around Michael. I see her as a heroin, a sturdy poll that holds the show well grounded”
Since in this show anyone could die,I have a question:
“Would you watch the show if they decided to keep Sarah in and kill Michael off?”
