Matt Olmstead Answers Prison Break Cast Questions (Part 2)

Matt Olmstead answered the Prison Break cast’s questions in the latest issue of TV Guide! In Part 2 Matt talks about the Sara/Gretchen reunion, the possibility that this is the last season of Prison Break, and Sucre & Maricruz’s baby.

Jodi Lyn O’Keefe asks “Will you let Sara and Gretchen work out their history on their own terms without the boys around?”
Matt replies, “That essentially describes Episode 8 of the new season. In Season 3, we saw Susan B. as cocky, the scarred and abused ex-military Company employee who enjoyed abusing others. In her world, it’s war [with Sara] and she can’t understand why they can’t call a truce. But Sara has not descended into Gretchen’s amoral netherworld, and things can’t be so easily resolved. By the time Gretchen and Sara meet again, both of them have changed significantly. Gretchen had her fun, but now everything is going to be taken away from her. And Sara has had to deal with being abducted. You’d think it would be a catfight, but it’s not. Earlier on, the confrontation might have been a battle to the death. And that showdown might still happen.”

Wade Williams asks “Is Bellick getting a love interest?”
Matt replies, “Bellick has always had a love interest and will continue to have one: himself. He thinks quite highly of himself and his fanciful dreams and goals. And of course, he has his mother.”

Wade Williams asks “Is there any possibility of shooting the series in Europe next season?”
Matt replies, “For one, I don’t know if there’s going to be a next season. You need to approach each season as if it’s your last.”

(I have to interject here and say so is “For two” that Bellick will die?!?!?)

Robert Knepper asks “Will T-Bag meet his father-hopefully played by Robert Duvall-this year? If not, then maybe it’s his mother?”
Matt replies, “Well, of course, we’d love to have Robert Duvall. We’d like Brad Pit, too, but you have to be practical. There are no plans for that.”

Amaury Nolasco asks “Is Sucre ever going to reunite with Maricruz and see their baby?”
Matt replies, “To say their relationship has been on-again, off-again would be an understatement, and there has been a hot debate about his loyalty to her. When he called her from Panama and said he had to let her go, there was still loyalty and love burning. I would think that Sucre’s last moment in the series - regardless of whether they are or are not together - will involve Maricruz.”

Camille Guaty asks “When will that baby be born?”
Matt replies, “In the timeline of the show, Maricruz is mid-to-late-term. Tune in to the first hour of the season premiere and that question will be answered in no uncertain terms.”
