Jodi Lyn O’Keefe on Being Susan B. Anthony
Jodi Lyn O’Keefe speaks out on her Prison Break character, saying that even she knows very little about Susan B. Anthony’s past!
“They let me know about as much as I will tell you,” she says to The Fresno Bee. “That’s because they know I will tell you. I will tell you too much. I have done that before. It just slips out because I get so excited about the role.”
Jodi does tell them what she knows …
“It is interesting this year because she is sort of her own boss. She’s really not taking orders,” Jodi says. “That makes her a little more dangerous and a little more wily.”
Jodi continues talking about fan (or non-fan) reactions to her character. She says that it is strange. “Either they won’t say a word to me, or I get this very big grin and they say, ‘I hate you.’ It is interesting to see someone smile at you and tell you they don’t like you.”
Of course she also gets asked about the actors on the show, and other plot lines as well. One fan approached her at the airport and asked what she did with the kid. Jodi paused before realizing they were speaking of LJ on the show!!
“I said the kid is fine. I haven’t killed him. I promise. I told her I wasn’t supposed to tell her that but was going to tell her because she was very angry.”

Ok I think I know why my comment is awaiting moderation :)
I used the s**y word!
Anyways to my hunnies,
Mahmuda, Tabitha, Saba, SOP, Jody6055, Enroc and V,
I was going through the channels on TV when I stumbled upon an old episode of ‘Numbers’.
It was the one where SWC was the guest star!
I was sooo excited when I saw her!
She played Agent Kim Hall, Don Epps ex-girlfriend assisting the Epps brothers on a case.
She was so pretty!
She looked like when she was in the pilot episode of Prison Break (i.e. hair, make-up).
The funniest part was she was taller than almost all of the guys on the show.
And she wore sneakers lol!!!
She either had to sit down when she was with the guys or stood at a distance, not directly side-by-side lol!!!
I guess they were right when they said Sarah is taller in person :) XD
Thankfully our Went is 6′1″ ;)
Mahmuda
Aug 11, 2008 at 8:18 am
Whats the point using two identities on Prison Break? Gretchen and Susan B. Anthony?
Oh well, LOL Jodi Lyn O’Keefe is a bitchy woman in her role.
@Tom are you serious, you like her?
@Tabitha, hello hun! :)
Are you online today? How was your weekend with the hubby and squidlets?
Mine was fine. The weather here is CRAP, eh?
So i heard you’ve got PB S3 marathons running on. How far have you reached?
Oh by the way, are you employed or a housewife? (Just curious) :)
@SOP girl. :)
Oh so is that how you’re gonna be with me eh?
K-girl. LOL!
@jODY6005, Nicholas Cage is too much of a big movie star. He probably won’t have time being part of a PB cast playing Don. But hey, great choice! XD
@Voula dearest. :))
Where you at girl?
I know tell me about it? What a weird dream.
Do you get PB dreams such as that?
Oh i didn’t know in Greece you pay in euros.
So how strong is your faith these days? LOL! XD
Any plans today by the way?
@Sona44, greetings! :)
Yep weird dreams.
Last night i dreamt that a security officer guarding the college i’m soon gonna study at pierced me with a sharp nail from a pistol deep into my finger. (Intentionally of course) as i did something wrong. Can’t remember……
It reminds me of Christ being nailed.
I wonder if the dream has a connection to that.
Yep, i also can’t bloody wait for football.
If T and i support Man U, what do you support?
Aww, thanx for calling me a culinary expert and go-to-girl cuisine. :)
What are you up to today then?
Lastly, Saba or should i say (Queen of Sheba).
My summer in England is fine.
How about your summer in Sweden hun? :)
Take care xx

I don’t know why I can’t hate any of the “bad” guys of this show!
I’ve already started feeling sorry for Susan at S4!
Wait, I hate Sofia! But she isn’t one of the bad guys so I guess it’s ok! :p
@Sona44, Mahmuda and Tabitha :)
How are you huns?
How is your day?
Anything interesting today?
@Sona44
Hey hun! :)
Oh if Sarah was taller than Went I think every MiSa scene would take place only at the infirmary and Michael would always sit at the infirmary chair! lol!

Just in case my 1st comment doesn’t appear,
I’m going to do this again :s
Hi V!
How’s vacay so far?
Any developments on the ring search?
I hope your friend’s not too devastated :(
Since the ring means a lot to her.
September’s around the corner, hope you got the bolts by now hun XD XD
Oh what about the new hair straightener?
M!
How’s England and its weather?
Did you watch the Community Shield yesterday?
I managed to watch the delayed telecast.
Man U won, you must be happy :)
Are you catching up with the medals tally both England and your original country have collected at the Beijing Olympics so far?
Tabitha, it’s Monday :)
You’ll be online soon darling…
How was your weekend?
How are the squidlets and their summer hols?
Oh I hope they’re not driving you up the wall XD
Only 5 days before the start of the Premier League yay!!!
I can’t wait for footie hun!
@Saba,
Hey I’m fine.
Temps around 30 degrees today, not too hot.
Is it 12 degrees again in Sweden?
Hmm, besides Prison Break I watch CSI (all 3 of them), House, Life, Private Practice and lots more!
I love American TV LOL!!!
SOP,
Hi how are you and how’s life wherever you are?
Do you have anymore favourite PB/Michael scenes you’d like to share?
Both you and Mahmuda are the K-girls ;p ;p
Hi Jody6055 how are you?
You must be counting the days to the S4 premiere :)
I think I’ll be happy with one Alex, don’t think I need another one on the show :)
@Enroc, MiSa, Sierra, dimitra and all Prison Break fans,
Hello!
Hey Tom,
When you mentioned ’she’s so hot’, did you mean Susan or Sofia lol…
Just joking ok, do you like Susan/Gretchen?
I know a lot of people don’t :S
Oh and hi to you too :)
sona44
Aug 11, 2008 at 9:12 am
Lol V, Susan’s really mean though isn’t she?
The picture above where she tortured Sofia with the cigar… Whoa!
And the scene with Sucre in the car…
“…or Maricruz and her head part ways.”
With Sucre in the bar…
“Where would you like me to shoot Maricruz? In the bun or in the oven?”
“…there will be one less pregnant girl in Chicago.”
To Michael…
“When all this is over, you’d better run for your life!”
To Whistler…
“If I don’t have the second half of the coordinates in 24 hours, LJ and the senorita stop breathing.”
So many quotable quotes from her!
She’s the real b***h XD
I can’t wait for the showdown between her and Sara!
Catfight!
Tabitha
Aug 11, 2008 at 9:28 am
I do like Jodi, she’s so funny! If i met her i’d tell her that i love her character, i know there’s some good in her waiting to come out! You guys have to watch the between takes on the S3 boxset, she’s so funny. She must be a blast to work with :0) I don’t understand how some people can get so rapped up in th show, that when they get to meet the actual actor in person they could be so arrogant. It would be a dream come to me, to meet any of them. I think i’d turn into a blubbering idiot! lol!
Hello me hunnies!! All is well here in the UK, finally no rain!! Yipee!
@Sona44- hello hun, i’m doing good thanx, took my squidlets ( sorry Mahmuda i know u don’t like that :0) ) out to the park with some friends & had a picnic, so they’ve been angels for me today! ;0) Was well happy with the result on sunday with Man U! Yipee!! Yes i’m looking forward to the Premier League not long!! :0) Hows your day been hun? Up to anything exciting?
@Mahmuda- Hey girlie hows things with you? Nice weekend?
@Voula- Hey hun, i’m doing good thanx, hows you? Days been a good one, just hope the weather stays like this, as it totally jucked it down all last week :0( But very hopeful for this one ;0)

How can you hate sofia………….
omg…………..
And why would someone ask her what she did to the kid? I mean we pretty much found out that LJ was all right……………what a stupid question.
SOP
Aug 11, 2008 at 10:02 am
Hi guys,
Voula i agree i finally like Gretchen…we know she’s been through a lot, that would have been stupid to take her out in S4
Sona : life is ok , i am in vacation in 3 days !!!
yes ! Mahmuda and me : K-girls :)
let me think about another michael scene…
What about you ? favorite PB scene, i am sure it’s a misa scene !
Tom
Aug 11, 2008 at 10:07 am
Shes attractive in a frightening way. Which is awesome haha.
Hi yourself. ;D
Mahmuda
Aug 11, 2008 at 10:28 am
Hi Voula!
I’ll start with you first since you commented after me.
So my day today was a shitload.
(Don’t ask).
I’m ok, had a small headache but i slept it off for two hours.
And nope nuttin’ interesting hun.
How’z holz going?
@Sona44 gal!
Yay i’m proud Man U won yesterday.
I’m not really keeping count on the Olympics thing, between my country and England.
LOL, (ain’t patriotic at all) :)
So what’s the Community shield?
@Tabitha darling. :)
Oh don’t get me wrong. Squidlets may sound awful. But they’re your kids.
You call them whatever you like. Ok?….
I’m glad they’ve been angels then.
Oh and T, there’s a comment i posted before this with a Q you haven’t answered.
@Jody, i think sofia is a waste of space. But i don’t hate her.
@SOP, hunni.
Ok i surrender to your will! XD
Together we are the K-girls.
I pledge myself to your teachings o’ noble SOP.
LOL!

Aug 11, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Whoa I just saw that there were one more comment from Sona44 and a comment from Mahmuda before I posted my comment.
I’m pretty sure Sona44’s first comment was awaiting moderation while I was typing my comment!
@Sona44
we stopped searching for the ring coz there were waves at the sea today and the ring must have definitely been buried by the sand :(
My friend is ok now but she sometimes looks at her finger and says “oh look at it, it’s empty”.
Oh the new hair straightener is really good! It’s much better than the previous one!
I liked very much the scene at which Sucre and Gretchen were in the car and they said the quotes
“-I’m cynic sugar.
-You are high…sugar”
Both Sucre and Gretchen were really funny!!
@Mahmuda
of course I have PB dreams (who doesn’t have?!)! But I was never in the same team with the bad guys till now!
When I was watching S2 I often had the dream that I was on the run with the brothers!
I was out with my friends today and I had great time!
Oh I drank the most delicious drink ever! It’s made by chocolate, white chocolate, sirup of chocolate, at the top there is vanilla cream and it also includes lots of pieces of OREO cookies! It’s sooo delicious!!
@Tabitha
I tatally agree with you about the reaction of the fans!
Especially if I would ever have the chance to meet Went, I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to say anything! I would just stay in front of him and look at him trying to believe that it’s true!
@Jody6055
actually I don’t hate Sofia. I just really don’t like her.
She’s useless, she has nothing to give to PB.
She can go to Paris ALONE and stay there forever!

I think Jody that Sofia is only going to appear on occasions this season, although you would probably like her gone all together, I don’t mind her but I probably wouldn’t like to see her every episode, so if she is going to be a part timer that sits well with me. She seems a little too innocent.

imagine that..
*big grin* “I hate you” hugs and kisses.
lol

How could you hate Jodi Lyn OKeefe for doing such a good job playing such a great villain? She’s the best new character to come along, since Mahone in S2.
dimitra
Aug 12, 2008 at 7:29 am
I don’t like her Jody Lynn O ‘Keefe…
Enroc
Aug 12, 2008 at 9:01 am
I don’t like Susan either.. While I like Sofia!
