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.”

I think Fox made a desperate move…
Very desperate on their part
This si the stupidest idea since Pam had that dream on “Dallas”! I have lost all respect for this show and it’s writers. They have lost me as a viewer once and for all.
I love Prison Break and with Sarah Wayne Callies coming back? Its just ten times more better for me!!!
THANK YOU FOX! THANK YOU SWC!!! THANK YOU!

Do you rememberthe TV show, “Dallas”? Specifically, do you remember how, after becoming a television phenomena, a ratings block buster and a show that had an entire nation, if not an entire planet, asking the question, “WHO SHOT JR?”, it declined into nothing but a laughing stock, a bad joke, and a show that EVERYONE made fun of and nobody watched anymore when they decided to “bring Bobby (one of the main characters they had KILLED OFF)back” by making the entire season where he was dead a DREAM????!!
Now,do you remember what a BAD idea that was? Do you recall how the vast majority of viewers, even ones who loved the character of Bobby and missed him, stopped watching because the ‘dream’ plot was just, well…too ridiculous for words?
Well, Prison Break is now the new Dallas!
What the hell is wrong with Matt Olmsted! Does HE not remember what a BAD idea that was for Dallas and how it basically DESTROYED the show? Does he not see that is about to do the same **** to “PRION BREAK”?!
Its so obvious that they wanted to kill her off, and do it in a shocking way that left no room for negotiation–fair enough But then, at least have the BALLS to stick to your guns when the going gets tough. Now they try to say that they always thought that they might bring Sara back at some point–I call BULLSHIT! If they had any idea of bringing Sara back, they wouldn’t have made her end in such a graphic and detailed way. I mean, Lincoln saw her head! LJ heard her die! Were they both delusional? If you want to ‘leave the door open’ for a character’s return then you kill them off in a less conspicious way…ie–Kellerman. You don’t chop their head off and show it to us and THEN expect us to buy some lame ass excuse as to ‘why it wasn’t really her head’…COME ON!
Maybe SWC wanted back in when her movie career tanked after “Whisper” went straight to DVD and she needs some cash. But I swear if I was one of the writers and they told me to write this ****, I’d quit. I know PB isn’t exactly Shakespeare, but it had an edge and one of the edges was that you never knew when/if a major character would die. The stakes were high…now that has been completely ruined because we now know that if a character is killed off and ratings go down as a result, they will just find a way to bring that character back, so the tension and dramatic edge to the show has been completely destroyed.
And Wentworth Miller? He’s ALL over Europe last week telling fans that Sara is “defineately dead”….. I mean he’s running around saying how Michael’s happy ending went out the window with Sara’s death and now he’s going to go all dark and vengeful…”That’s where season four lives and breathes for me now.”
Where does season four live and breathe with you now, Mr. Miller??Does he or his agent even know what an ******* he looks like now? Like he either lied in every single interview last week to his fans or he’s so out of the loop creatively that they didn’t even bother to consult him before bringing SWC back!
1.)If he was lying, then I think that is VERY disrespectful to his fans. If he was asked about Sara, he could have said something politely like, “I don’t really want to talk about her” or whatever. he didn’t have to lie and say she was most certainly dead!
2.)And if he wasn’t lying and the producers kept him in the dark about bringing Sara back, then I think that shows a total lack of respect for their main leading actor, and if I was WM I’d be PISSED: “You make me go to Europe and Israel and say one thing when you know that a week later you are going to make me look like an ass for saying it? Yeah, thanks guys! Great working relationship we have–real professional respect!”
You know what, they may get a few old Sara-loving viewers back with this move, but they have JUMPED THE SHARK and will lose many more viewers as a result. Fans don’t like being treated like they are stupid.
THE TOP TEN LAME REASONS THE WRITERS WILL GIVE FOR BRINGING SARA BACK:
(Must be read outloud in a snarky David Letterman-type tone):
10.)”Night of The Living Dead” was always Michael Scofield’s favourite movie.
9.) “Hi, Dr. Frankenstein? My name’s Michael Scofield… hear you’ve had some great success with dead people?”
8.)Michael runs into the boys from “Supernatural” and they tell him all about the Crossroads Demon. When Dean and Michael die in a year’s time, Sara lives happily ever after with Sam as yuppy doctor-lawyer couple with a Volvo.
7.)Dr. Jack Shepard is really the head of the evil company. He gets back to his Island, with the help of Whistler’s coordinates after leaving it as one of the Oceanic 6. Michael follows them there and learns that no one really dies if they are on the island He brings Sara’s body there and she comes back to life, but has no head. Michael kills Sun, cuts her head off, pops it on Sara’s body and exclaims, “I always had a thing for Asian Chicks.”
6.)Season 3 was a dream… Sara’s just in the shower and she’s fine, thanks.
5.)The people from New Line Cinema called. They wanted their ending for “Se7en” back or they were gonna sue Santora’s ass!
4.)There was no head in the box. It was a puppy. Lincoln was just having an LSD flashback.
3.)They sewed Saras head back on to Luke McFarlane’s body–everybody’s happy!
2.)Michael moves to Sleepy Hollow where Sara learns to ride a horse
And the number one lame ass excuse the writers will give for bringing Sara back:
1.) Lincoln will explain in the season premiere: “What? You thought I said, ‘She’s dead, Michael”? NO! I said, ‘Does she give good head Michael?’!!!”
No, Matt Olmsted, you stupid ass! I DON’T think Lincoln would tell Michael she was dead unless he was pretty damn sure, since he knew what it would do to Michael if he thought Sara was dead.
He looked at the head for at least ten seconds–long enough to make a positive ID and then gasped, “Sara…” It was DEFINEATELY her head! Why don’t you try watching your show once in a while before you go assuming that your lame ass answers will satisfy fans?
And if she was still alive and on the run, why didn’t she track down Michael and Lincoln? Where the hell has she been? And what about LJ who was in the room when she died and told his father that he heard her die?Your answers are so transparent, they make me sick. Show some respect for your fans and at least ADMIT you only brought her back to please the fans who never wanted her killed in the first place!
OMG………….. I’m so happy that she will back again
I guess we’ll just wait and find out! I can’t wait for season 4 to start
im so happy that they are bringing her back and im so glad that she is coming back and it worked out so much better this way and i know we had a little bit of a dry patch in s3 because it did go a small bit just a smidge down hill without sara and now that they have faked her death its more than likely that she wont be killed for a good while now and she was picked up for the whole 22 episodes of season 4 so i think we’ll see her right untill de end of pb hopefully
GREAT NEWS NOW LETS HAVE A GOOD STORY LINE .SEASON 3 WAS A BIT WEAK WITHOUT ARE SARAH #####
All you people who are squeeing over Sara coming back are so lame. Bringing back DEAD people? What is this, a day time soap opera? Season 3 was bad and now they are bringing back decapitated characters in a desperate attempt to get people to watch? How stupid! And you people who are tongue bathing over Sara’s return make me want to vomit. Can’t you SEE how the writers are insulting you and your intelligence (such as it is…)? I won’t be watching this show anymore and if you people had any real intelligence, you wouldn’t either.
Sara and Michael had absolutely NO chemistry on screen and the show is about prison breaks, NOT romance! This is lame a$$–I won’t be watching anymore.
Also, note to all you obsessed fans: SWC is happily married! Why do you all try to make it sound like her and Wentworth Miller have something going on? I saw him in a interview say that he only talks to her “occasionally” on the phone. They aren’t even good friends, let alone something more!
And neither one of them can act! anyway.
I watched the show for the action, and Bill Fichtner, who’s awesome. I can’t believe how many stupid, obsessed fans go for Michael and Sara. Get a life, people!
This show has jumped the shark!
The last thing I want to do is watch Sara nd Michael get it on. When they kissed in season 1 and 2, I threw up in my mouth alittle bit. They have no chemistry on screen. It was painful to watch–so why bring her back? This show has had its day. They should cancel it.
hey jared, how come this isn’t filed under the “wentworth miller” or “prison break” page?
what about when LJ says that he saw them kill her?
LJ heard them kill her.but don`t watch them.
OVER THE MOON SHES BACK CANT WAIT TO SEE SEASON 4
To
#245 - you got me thinking, maybe they’ll bring back Sarah and fire Went, maybe that’s why he’s not in the know. This is a very intriguing point you have made!
“And Wentworth Miller? He’s ALL over Europe last week telling fans that Sara is “defineately dead”….. I mean he’s running around saying how Michael’s happy ending went out the window with Sara’s death and now he’s going to go all dark and vengeful…”That’s where season four lives and breathes for me now.”
Where does season four live and breathe with you now, Mr. Miller??Does he or his agent even know what an ******* he looks like now? Like he either lied in every single interview last week to his fans or he’s so out of the loop creatively that they didn’t even bother to consult him before bringing SWC back!”
i actually predicted she was not dead.
i belong in pb
wow! this is the greatest news ever. i really love michael and sara together. now they can have their fillet mignon.felt so bad when they killed her off and didn’t want to watch the show for a while.can’t wait for their reunion. i am so happy!

LMAO!!!!
i love prison break!! Welcome Sara back…. : )
Well it won’t matter if she’s back, she’ll die anyway AGAIN.
To the HATERS:
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…
Call Marianne Pearl and ***** to HER…
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.
Hey all you Sara lovers:
Read THIS article and THEN try to tell yourselves that Sara was never really dead. Give me a break! She was deader than a doornail! Matt Olmstead can run around spinning whatever delusional crap he wants, but the man needs to take his meds and actually remember how the whole thing REALLY happened–and so do all the Sara-lovers who conviently forget how the whole thing went down:
he producers and writers are lying ******** who are insulting the intelligence of the fans by saying they always planned to bring Sara back–they didn’t! And now they are going to give us the lame-ass excuse that “Lincoln didn’t recognise the head?” Give me a break! This article PROVES that they wanted it to be Sara’s head and they were doing everything they could to PROVE it was Sara’s head!

loves it…! about bloody time! cant wait to watch!
HELLO!!! It’s a TV SHOW!!!!!!
The writers can write it any way they want to write it. If you don’t like it…you don’t have to watch it. That’s what I did during Season 3…I stopped watching after the horrible decapitation plot twist that left the show in ruins.
Now Dr. Sara is coming back. It’s OUR turn to enjoy the show.
If you can’t imagine how Sara could be alive, just change the channel…you know how to do that, don’t you?
Don’t go away mad. Just go away. You don’t have to be ugly about it.
Yes, it would be nice to have Sarah Wayne callies back on the show as a love interest for michael because it was one of the things i was most interested in, in the show.
However it would seem a little farfetched for that to happen since, LJ presumedly saw Sarah’s head get cut off, or heard it.
I can understand though how they could make it seem like it never happened but it seems like a desperate attempt to get more fans back.
