Sarah 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.”

WHAT DO YOU THINK of bringing SWC back to life??

Ok, I am very angry. They played this out so it made it seemed like she was dead. Its ridiculous. Now my brothers boyfriend gets to brag about the fact that he’s right.. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy because Micheal will be happy. But they shouldn’t have made everyone seemed like she was dead.

oh well.

Irine,

“My standards for heroines are a little different, Sarah isn’t my best option.”
So what is your standard? A woman masked with a flying cape that breathes fire? Let us stick to the show and disregard any outside sources shall we? With regards to Prison Break, how many times did Sara saved Lincoln’s life? If you can’t jut down points, let me do the honor:
1. She left the door open that consequently saved Lincoln’s life from execution.
2. She shot Bill Kim who evidently would have triggered his gun and kill Lincoln.
3. If it wasn’t for Sara/Kristin, we all know Paul Kellerman would never step foot and appeal against the Company. Thus, Lincoln’s exoneration.
4. The “key” she found would have saved Lincoln if it wasn’t for the Company’s interference when Caroline Reynolds decided to end it all.
5. It is her duty to save lives for she is a doctor after all, but if it wasn’t for her compassion and purpose to be the change… she would have left Lincoln to die from poisoning, laceration, etc. She would never plead her father to read Lincoln’s files.
These are reasons among many others why I see her as a heroine. But if you see things on the other side of the fence, then there is nothing I can do about it.
““Would you watch the show if they decided to keep Sarah in and kill Michael off?”
You are a bit off topic but since you asked, I will try to stay afloat from a sinking ship. Killing Michael will be the means to an end. There is nothing to watch when the show is off air now can I? But assumingly, if there is a show that is Sara centered and she’s the lead role, then yes I will watch it. As I mentioned earlier, there are so many scenarios that you can go with her character. The flaws and remarkable compassion of her persona is just staggering. She’s a complicated character, yes, but that is why I am drawn to her.

RC,

lol, Veronica didn’t breath any fire, but she had a huge part in season 1, fighting for Linc, being hunted, helping L.J, etc. I didn’t see many people asking her back when she was killed off.

Jane was also a potential heroine and a good connection to Linc and Michael’s father and the company. Never heard anyone asking about where she is.

“if there is a show that is Sara centered and she’s the lead role, then yes I will watch it.”
Well, I guess you are one of the few exceptions who like Sarah as a heroin. Most people who want her back are MiSa fans,so it’s all about the romance.

“Killing Michael will be the means to an end.”
Of course it will be the end without Wentworth Miller in…..

Hi Irine,

Are you mentioning these women because you see them more as YOUR heroine in contrast to Sara’s character or just for the sake there off? But whatever your reasons are, they are a hero in their own way.

“I didn’t see many people asking her back when she was killed off.”

“I didn’t see many people asking her back when she was killed off.”

Well let us put it this way, I assume not a lot of people were drawn with their role in Prison Break. I am not saying they are less in importance, maybe the general consensus prefer Sara as their heroine. That is why we see a lot of people upset when she was berated and vaguely decapitated. Or the fact that a lot of people were distressed when she OD’d in season 1 compared to when Veronica was shot to kill.

“Well, I guess you are one of the few exceptions who like Sarah as a heroin. Most people who want her back are MiSa fans,so it’s all about the romance.”

Name me a 20 television shows or several movies where there’s no romance written on it. Then maybe I can hide my head in a bucket full of **** in shame. I am not all for the soppy romance yes, but I have to say, most of the Michael and Sara fans are HARDCORE Sara fanatics. I assure you, I’ve been blogging for as long as I can remember in terms of PB forums, threads and Sara is building her own fanbase by the minute. Majority of the Sara(h) fans are rooting for her to come back for several purposes and not just this whole “romance” kind of norm you have in mind.

The people who are against Sara have this fixated mind set that Sara is just written to be Michael’s love interest. What a shame that some failed to see what her character embodies in this show.

“Killing Michael will be the means to an end.”
Of course it will be the end without Wentworth Miller in…..

Then why ask me a question about it on your previous comment? When it’s far too obvious that there is no show without Michael’s character in it? But whatever.

I am so grateful that Dr. Sara will be part of PB again!!! Let’s hope that the PB writers have some impressive work to show us in S4.

No one is asking for a soppy romance between Michael and Sara…what we WOULD like to see is a credible relationship that is built on the characters we know from S1 and S2. Please, a little more CHEMISTRY this time!!!????

Sara is most definitely a heroic character. For the writers to turn Michael into a vengeful killer would negate all that she sacrificed for him. She is the noblest person on the show. I hope the writers will step up to the plate and hit us a home run.

I really love this picture. They are so cute and lovely together but it’s sad that Sara missed the 3rd season.

“Are you mentioning these women because you see them more as YOUR heroine in contrast to Sara’s character or just for the sake there off?”
I think Robin Tunney is a better actress than Sarah Wayne Callies.

“Name me a 20 television shows or several movies where there’s no romance written on it. Then maybe I can hide my head in a bucket full of **** in shame”

I ‘ll give you an example.
LOST has romance, but the fans don’t talk about it so much because the plot itself draws their attention and interest.
PRISON BREAK ’s fans talk a lot about Sarah and Michael because I ‘m afraid this show has not much to offer anymore without this romance, which is also proven by the writers’ decision to bring this character back.
Season 4 will suck big time IMO.

Uhmmmmm… okay?! So? If you think otherwise, that is your opinion. But we are talking about these characters heroic deeds and not how innate the actresses are, yes?

“Name me a 20 television shows or several movies where there’s no romance written on it. Then maybe I can hide my head in a bucket full of **** in shame”

Your example >
“I ‘ll give you an example. LOST has romance, but the fans don’t talk about it so much because the plot itself draws their attention and interest.”

Are you far too sure?! As to what I know, this fandom causes a lot of shipper wars so to speak. You might want to go back and rethink your opinion, and besides have I not clearly stated “Name me a 20 television shows or several movies where there’s no romance written on it” meaning, can you jut down television shows WHERE THERE IS NO REFERENCE OF ROMANCE IN IT? You’ve clearly went out of context.

For a person who doesn’t like the whole idea of deep seeded mutual love between a couple, you surely have talked A LOT ABOUT ROMANCE. You should focus more on other things in terms of Prison Break and not Michael and Sara if it is making you upset. The Michael and Sara portion is just 5 minutes of the time frame. MORE OR LESS FIVE MINUTES when you think about it. I am sure you can draw your fascination drooling over Lincoln or whatever your reasons of watching the show.

“I ‘m afraid this show has not much to offer anymore without this romance, which is also proven by the writers’ decision to bring this character back.”

You’re like a broken record. I keep on jutting down points why Sara is written not just for the “romance” you keep on insisting. You always go back to the start which doesn’t make any sense now.

“I ‘m afraid this show has not much to offer anymore without this romance, which is also proven by the writers’ decision to bring this character back.
Season 4 will suck big time IMO.”

If season four episode one is all about Michael and Sara canoodling, then your statement would make more sense to me.

If season four episode one will disregard what the company is all about, then your statement would make more sense to me.

If season four episode one will show ONLY Michael and Sara the whole time frame, then your statement would make more sense to me.

But right now? I think you’re thinking way outside the box. It makes no sense at all.

Funny, the whole time I was watching this show, I never thought its focal point was Michael and Sara centered. Maybe we are watching two separate narratives. Or maybe, again, you have this fixated mind set that if Sara is alive and well, she’s just there for the romance.

NO WAY!!!
and i mean that in a good way!
Sarah has to come back on the show!!!
SHE HAS TOOO!!!
ok im sorry im going a little crazy now…

RC,

FIRST, I named you a good(better for me) actress in the show, except Sarah, who did heroic deeds.

SECOND, I didn’t give you 20 “no romance” shows, I went a little bit furhter and gave you one which is also a hit like PB and it has romance in, BUT people don’t overreact about that. I thought you ‘d understand my point.

THIRD, people overreacted about Sarah’s death because after season 1 and maybe first episodes of season 2 prison break had a weak plot, so people stuck to the romance between a good looking woman and a good looking man. When this romance was gone, people wanted the heroin back and FOX wanted to continue the show which was going from bad to worse. Sarah IS written in for the MiSa romance.

“I am sure you can draw your fascination drooling over Lincoln or whatever your reasons of watching the show.”

Lincoln sucked and now that he didn’t recognize a decapitated head he sucks more..
And my reasons for watching the show are already mentioned :-P

“If season four episode one is all about Michael and Sara canoodling, then your statement would make more sense to me.”

LOL, The whole season 4 will be about that.

SWC is so sweet. I saw her during her visit here. She’s so natural and radiant and can hold conversations well.

I read somewhere that they start filming this May! OMFG! I can’t wait for PRison Break :D

Thank God she will be back!!!!!!

irine:

“LOL, the whole Season 4 will be about that.”

HA HA–I hope you’re right! (It would be a first…)

and what about LJ talk, when he said, that he saw how “that scary ***** cut off sarah’s head” ??? nonsense. the show is more emotional in the way he is now. more realistic.

FYI, Lj said “he heared it” not “seen it” just to clarify that out.

But whatever they take this on, have you guys read the new spoiler?! With the title? It looks very promising ;) I am ecstatic that SWC is back. She’s one of my favorite actresses.
