  I agree with Kristin. Fox has ruined the show for majority of the audience!

  She is absolutely right. And it’s a good thing she set the record straight about the fact that SWC intended to come back after her pregnancy, and that the creators wanted her out.
  When Kristin interviewed the cast about it, they were all either misled on the issue or tried to mislead us. (Her co-stars almost made it sound as if SWC was better off staying home!)

  I was soo happy to hear Kristin telling the truth because she lost my respect after the last interview. SWC was told she was coming back for the full season, just like we were. Imagine to only find out later that it was only for 10 episode and that was so they could kill you off. The word betrayed cannot be said enough. Not the fact that Sara was being killed off, but the fact that SWC was lied to. That’s the part that really hurts. Being the smart woman that SWC is, no way was she putting up with that crap.

  Uau !
  Congatulations Kristin !
  Finally somebody has the courage to say loud and clear the real true about this Sara`s issue.

  And congratulations to Sara Wayne Callies to.
  If I was her I would have donne the same.

  Coming from a person on the E! channel doesnt surprise me….The people who work for that channel are as shallow as they come….How can you take a job seriously that has their news on frickin celebs! What a joke!

• Fiona

  If that’s the way it happened, then it makes Sarah Wanye Callies look a bit immature. This show has a rep for killing characters off all the time, she should know that she wasn’t going to be safe forever. They were still offering her 13 episodes, which is a decent bit of work!

  This doesn’t make Sarah look very professional. Can you imagine if Robin Tunney or Lane Garrison went “you’re gonna kill me in a few epis? screw you guys! Im not coming back!” and left their character mid storyline.

  Really pathetic, Sarah Wayne!

  Oh and by the way, what did she mean “You can not be a female and watch that show anymore!”? Does she think all the girls watching are doing it for the romance? Sorry sister, some of us actually like the dark edge and the action, which is why we tuned into a prison show…

• Anna
  Oct 12, 2007 at 3:57 pm

  The reason why so many of us are disappointed with this Sara mess, is not the way she reacted to being fired, (which made them kill her in such a way), but the fact that they decided to kill her in the first place!

• Cindy

  I disagree. As a female myself I for one can say that I do not watch the show for SWC. Honestly I watch it for Wentworth Miller and the storylines. I couldnt care less if she’s on the show or not.

• Anna
  Oct 12, 2007 at 4:48 pm

  I agree with Fiona & Cindy that female viewers are not necessarily into romance plots. That’s a stereotype.
  But it seems to me that the creators underestimated how important this storyline was for many people. I was following Sara’s story as much as the brothers’, because they wrote it that way. They turned her into a leading role, and she is not someone they can just replace with a rebound girl, as they are planning. I simply can’t understand why they would do something that makes many people want to stop watching; that’s the last thing a network would want.

• Krys

  Anna, it’s because PB is on FOX and Fox is obsessed with killing off main characters. They did it on The O.C. and it got canceled soon after. They did it on Vanished and the same thing happened. I can’t count how many times they’ve done it on 24, which is the only show it seems to work on. Prison Break won’t make it to a fourth season. Congratulations, Fox, you’re the slowest learning network ever.

• Anna
  Oct 12, 2007 at 5:53 pm

  What I see happening a lot now is viewers turning against each other in forums - the ones who want to stop vs. the ones who will keep watching. The bottom line is that if what the network did causes ratings to drop, everyone loses, including the ones who don’t care about what happened to Sara. Ruining the show for a big part of the viewers, may cost the show to everyone.

  Cindy! haha. watch the show for went too. and the storyline. nice.

• Jay

  I don’t agree at all. I’m a girl, who loved the Michael & Sara storyline. I am so pissed that they decided 2 kill Sara off. (I was crying the whole time, & will miss her deeply) But I will not stop watching! I think it still an awesome show, & I wish they hadn’t killed her off but what’s done is done. If they kill off Michael, then I’m out! It’ll be done. But I beileve that Wentworth is talented enough 2 hold up the show on his own.

• Tina
  Oct 13, 2007 at 5:08 am

  Season 3 hasn’t been that good from start….but killing Sara was a BIG unforgivable mistake.

  I agree with Kristin and I’m glad she set the record straight.

  I actually think it will be a good thing for Wentworth if the show ended this season…why should he go down with the show and FOX. I’ll love to see him doing movies or other shows.

• Mack

  To be honest, I am pissed about the fact that they killed Sara off. I loved her character, and for me that was the last straw. Already during season 2 my interest was dropping, it just wasn’t the same as season 1. But I kept watching because as naive as I was, I thought something good would finally happen. It did, for a brief moment, until the writers decided to screw it up again. Prison Break is no longer the same, this isn’t only about SWC, but they have turned the show into some dark drama which lives of killing characters off. I don’t feel the excitement anymore, and that is with or without Sara. But I agree with Kristin, the fact is that Sara was screwed over, they gave her a promise which they didn’t keep, then why should she help them in return? Bottom line is I’m done with the show. It’s no longer worth watching. Also, I’d be extremely surprised if this survives for another season. Wentworth and Dominic are really great actors, but even that can’t save the show from going down the drain. I just wish they had wrapped everything up in season 2, that way they could maintain the fans and the great image of the show!

  I agree that they writers made sara a main characters and someone who the fans loved and then to just kill her sucks. I would have been happy if the whole show wnded last season, but 5 mins early when sara met them at the boat.

  Boo Hoo Prison Break is a great show.If you can’t deal with deaths than I suggest you stop watching every single tv show out there.

• KONVICT
  Oct 13, 2007 at 1:45 pm

  i agree with korab its the best show out and the 3rd season is getting better every week also whats a former die hard fan your either die hard 4 life or you was never a die hard fan in the first place

  I liked SWC, and will mourn the demise of the show, that was a bad move on fox’s behalf, but I generally don’t expect much from fox, they have a bunch of idiots running that network into the ground.

  But being that I have a twisted sense of humor and the only thing that came to mind for that ill fated scene was, the end of seven with brad pitt.

  “What’s in the box? What’s in the Box?”

• Matt
  Oct 14, 2007 at 4:06 am

  The fact that Kristin was interviewing the cast just a few days ago, knowing FULLY well about Sara’s demise, acting all excited about it, only to later turn around and say this, shows just how much of a bitch she is. What a stab-in-the-back to everyone involved in Prison Break. “You can not be a female and watch that show anymore! It’s so dark, it’s so gross, it’s so disturbing…!” Ummm… What exactly were you expecting from a show set in a PRISON? It’s not like this is the first time they’ve violently killed off an important character. You mean to say you’re not used to stuff like this happening by now?

  Now, I’m not thrilled about Sara’s death either, but it’s going to take far more than that to make me stop watching a show I’ve followed and enjoyed for over two seasons. Plus, she said this right after the episode in which it happened aired. How can you declare “the end” over ONE plot twist if you don’t even see how it pays off? If you really were a “die hard fan,” you’d stick with it and see the direction they take it in before abandoning it just four episodes into the season. Jeez…

  It’s a good thing I don’t respect the opinion of anyone who works for E!

  i agree with matt about how the interview with kristen right after sara’s death- she seemed very excited for the new twisted drama.

  i still really don’t feel so bad for SWC that is kind of bratty of her to do. we all know that on prison break no one’s character is safe. sure, they may have told her that she would be back on for the entire 3rd season but if i remember correctly, most of the characters that were in the first season.. they had a certain impact on mike’s plan. after the plan, why else WOULD they need them?? end of their story line. sara’s part in the 2nd season was to use the key from her father to get to the bottom of the conspiracy… end of her story line. it all makes since really.
  13 episodes is nearly half of a season! thats a GREAT amount of work. i wish she wouldve cooperated, because if the show fails (which i dont think it will, because i like the guys and the storyline rather than the whole love story ordeal) then i blame SWC for her demise! thats just my opinion though!

• COL
  Oct 14, 2007 at 12:13 pm

  I don’t buy the “No one is safe in PB” line/crap! Excuse me, this could be avoided. It was how the writer/producer wanted the storyline to be in the first place. Sara Tancredi could’ve contributed to the escape storyline you wouldn’t know. And now, no one ever knows.

  If Sara Tancredi has to be dead, I no need her head to be in a box. That’s gross! The twist was kinda sub-standard.

  I am with SWC. Why comes back if they ready to kill your character off just for wrapping up sake.

  Yeah this is a guy show. Female “leading” character comes second importance. Blahblahblah. Congrats then.

• Linet
  Oct 15, 2007 at 7:14 am

  sara tancredi was the only female character on tv that was intelligent, respectable and interesting. thats what drew me to the show. the females they have now are so bland. FOX messed up! PB will NEVER be the same! SWC was the best!

• Anna
  Oct 15, 2007 at 7:50 am

  The creators were the only ones who told their side of the story on this. SWC only issued a brief statement. I think that she had serious reasons for turning them down. She wouldn’t expose herself to criticism from viewers and people of the business just for spite.
  I know that she has been promoting PB in Europe while she was “heavily pregnant” (quote from a UK radio interview), and of course during that time she still thought she was on board. I’ve listened to some of her interviews on U-Tube (in Spain and the UK) and she was very enthusiastic about the show and her participation in it.
  Also the creators told Ausiello that their final offer was to do some filming in her home WHILE SHE WAS STILL PREGNANT. So this whole negotiation took place before she even had her baby. (sounds pretty stressful). SWC said that in the end “they couldn’t find a way to meet both the needs of the story and the needs of her family”. I guess that on top of planning to fire her, they must have asked her to change her plans sometime during the last period of her pregnancy, the birth, or the first weeks after it. This is serious stuff, esp. for a first-time mom.
  After having been told that she would have a maternity leave and a job after it, they messed up with both. Since she mentions “the needs of her family” as a reason for the final outcome, no more details are needed, and she certainly deserves no bashing from PB fans!

• Tina
  Oct 15, 2007 at 8:10 am

  Anne, I agree. Based on her interviews after her pregnancy announcement, Sarah was still saying things like “I’ll be missing for the first few episodes only” or “I’ll be back after my maternity leave” sometime in early May. She went on press appearances in UK and Spain, basically while she was 7 months pregnant. And the producers and writers already knew that she was getting killed off in March, because that’s when the renewal of the show was announced, so obviously they kept her in the dark.

• heather
  Oct 15, 2007 at 12:07 pm

  I could not be any more disappointed in the decision to get rid of Dr Tancredi. Thre should have been a way to work this BS out. The producers abviosly don’t care about the fans that are watching this as a full story not just some excuse for male testosterone driven TV. By eliminating Dr tancredi they have cut off what could have been an incredibly complicated line for Micheal as well as his salvation when it came time to end the show. So, here is to more testosterone and less fully thought out characters GREAT (yes i am being sarcastic ) FOX SUCKS

• Pranas
  Oct 15, 2007 at 6:23 pm

  I’m also VERY dissapointed with the outcome, PB is losing an appeal rapidly, and only FOX can blame themselves for killing off the great show. Way to go guys…

• stephanie
  Oct 16, 2007 at 8:51 am

  there had to be a reason why she got killed off. usually when deaths are that horrible, there’s something wrong with the actor. we don’t know the real story and kristin’s probably just taking sides, too.

  remember in the OC, mischa barton didn’t want to go but i think the producers were starting to not like her so they decided to kill her off the show.

• KONVICT
  Oct 27, 2007 at 7:20 am

  get over it yeah kristen is a 2 faced cow licking dom purcells ass in the tv interview and then ranting on like a derranged looney its a blow that swc is gone from a lads point of view the girls have went dom amaury and bill fitchner ? and we all fancied swc but thats the only reason its a shame dannay garcia and jodi lynn o keefe are georgeous so is the nun so there is plenty to be optamistic about fellas

  not b’coz Sara’s died

  b’coz the character who’s replacing Sara in Michael’s heart

  c’mon…. u guys always say ” THIS IS NOT LOVE STORY ”
  But why you put another girl??????

  THIS IS TIME TO KILL THEM ALL!!!

• fooky
  Nov 16, 2007 at 12:41 am

  if this is true, then it’s clearly the fault of SWC. obviously her character in season 3 would have been treated with more respect had she stayed on for the 13 episodes. Those who are bashing this season’s plot and direction should think about how much last minute improvising the writers had to do to patch up the story because of her stubborn “resignation”.. of course it’s going to have it’s flaws, (especially considering that she was such a vital part of the show) and i’m positive that these writers had a great PROPER character death lined up for Sara, before the actress pulled out the rug from under them..

  How else do you recommend establishing a character death without the actress to portray it? I’d rather have a look-alike head than a cheap line of dialog any day..

  ..and though i’m not fully aware of the details, it’s my understanding that the blame seems to be pointed in the wrong direction on this one. shame for this to happen to such a great show..

• Harmony
  Nov 27, 2007 at 3:29 pm

  Kristin wasn’t there just like we weren’t so her opinon holds very little value. I don’t care if she has her own show, she’s not in charge over what happens on PB. As stated in many of the comments left here, PB kills off main characters: Veronica, Abruzzi and now Dr. Tancredi. After Abruzzi was killed, TV Guide released a statement: “we’ll kill whomever we want.” Ok. Point taken. It’s a show that deals with life, death and relationship’s of all sorts. I love how I don’t know where it’s going and I’ll watch until its over.

• harmony
  Nov 27, 2007 at 3:30 pm

  My mistake. I meant TV Guide spoke with the writers of the show and they responded with “we’ll kill whomever we want”.

• laial
  Feb 12, 2008 at 6:01 am

  she was one of the heart wearming characters in the show (and there arent a lot of those) and the scenes with her were sortof an escpe from all the violence and brutality… i loooved her

  stupid lameass fox, lol.

  oh and this kirsten lady seems to have two very different opinions on saras death
