Is Sarah Wayne Callies Leaving PRISON BREAK?
July 18, 2007 by Kath Skerry
The rumors have been swirling that Sarah Wayne Callies, who plays Dr. Sara “Tequila” Tancredi, will not be returning for Season 3 of PRISON BREAK. Some are saying that there are contract negotiation issues, others are saying that Sarah wants more time off after the birth of her baby, while others are saying that the producers weren’t happy with her. But is any of it true?
Being the hard hitting journalist I am, I went straight to Fox and asked if there was any truth to the rumors that Sarah Wayne Callies would not be returning for S3 and got an exclusive, 100% completely vague answer.
“We haven’t revealed many plot details for the third season. Dr. Sara Tancredi will be part of the storyline when the show returns though.”
Let’s be honest, that could mean just about anything. Maybe Tequila Tancredi is back in full force and all this nonsense is just that…nonsense. But it also could mean that something happens to Sara that affects the storyline – one which she might not have to be present for. Hmmm.
If Sarah Wayne Callies does in fact leave Prison Break, does that mean they are going to be casting a new love interest for Wentworth Miller? If so, I’d like to officially throw my name in the hat! I know I haven’t done much since I played Cindy Lou Who in my 5th grade performance of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” but I’ve still got it in me. I’m an actress!!
So what do you think about Sarah possibly leaving? Do you think it’s just a rumor or there is something to it? And what about the impact on the show and Sara Tancredi’s relationship with Michael Scofield?

Outside of the fact I adore her 🙂 Unless they are seriously going to jump the shark and have her be a nurse at Soma Prison Michael is set to be locked up for most of the season so why not just give her the season off? Or at least in a very limited role? If the ratings hold up bring back towards the end of next season when I assume they will get out and she can come back for season 4 when they are on the run again ( assuming it gets picked up ).
You know, Prison Break really pissed me off at the end of last season because it was so obviously supposed to be a two-season series and I feel like they are milking the proverbial cash cow dry. (How many cliches can I mix in? Only time will tell.) I love Sara Tancredi, but at this point, I am about to just decide that the series ends for me when Michael sees her on the boat and call it a day, so she can do what she wants.
I like Sarah Wayne Callies on the show and I do hope she stays on, but quite honestly I pretty much gave up on this show midway through last season. I loved Season 1 and am still a Wentworth fan, but I agree with SB that towards the end of last season it just seemed to be running out of steam. I think the producers realized this and that’s why Michael ended up back in prison since the show worked better that way in Season 1 than with them on the run in Season 2.
In any case, if SWC is going to be off the show I don’t see the point of Michael having another love interest (though I too would throw my hat in the ring if they’re looking for a replacement ;)). They probably should focus more on the action of another prison break and the relationship between Michael and Lincoln rather than do a whole new love story for Michael.

Thanks for checking into that rumor. I have been reading and waiting for more spoilers (’cause that’s the kinda girl I am) and really? I will be sad if Sarah doesn’t come back but as far as character developement? I think it will piss Michael off and maybe make him a little mean. I don’t know. I can’t wait to see what they do this season.
well i’m torn. part of me would be crushed to lose the character but then again they have been like 2% of the overall show, so…it all depends on how they handle it. if it’s a dumb death or something unwhelming then i’ll be bummed. but if she goes out in an unexpected blaze of glory, then i’ll okay with it.
I agree with SB that this show was obviously meant to be 2 seasons, and really should be done. I’m not sure if I will be watching much of season 3.
I do like our Dr. Tancredi however. And since he’s in prison, I’m not sure how he’ll find another love interest until he inevitably escapes, unless it’s that prison’s doctor. But even just the fact that the new doctor would also be a young, attractive, single woman is almost too unbelievable on its own. But then again, this is PB we are talking about.
I personally LOVE SWC AND the character of Sarah and really ,really hope she stays on. I think all of the rumors have begun just because of her upcoming baby and the comment from the producers that she wouldn’t be on too much in the beginning of S3. I think (hope) they would be willing to work with her regarding time off for her baby and even bringing the baby to set with her.
I do have to wonder how they will work her in though, given that most of S3 is supposedly going to be in the new prison. I LOVE her and Michael together but I have a feeling it will be a while before we see that again 🙁

Thought you’d all like to know: Sarah won’t be back on PB for Season 3. Fox fired her. Apparently, they don’t want to pay her 1/2 of what the men get on the show. Seriously. I guess it’s an industry secret that Fox pays the women on their shows half of what it pays the comparable men’s roles. So they axed her. Now they don’t want anyone to know. Oops!
Pretty sweet. Don’t think I’ll be watching anymore Fox for a while.
(ps- if you “see” her in any of the first episodes/trailers for S3? That’s a body double)

Spread the word!! We need more signatures people!
they COULD be pulling a Battlestar Galactica and tricking us all to generate press… they could always bring back Dr. Sarah a few episodes in. For those of you that have read spoilers for S3, it may just be part of the storyline.
You know what i hate most?? When people always says: I want watch the show anymore, i’m not gonna watch if…
I’ve got a surprise for you, take a deap breath, coz here it goes……………………NO ONE CARES!!
I’m sorry people but i can’t and won’t deal with the fact the Sarah Wayne Callies won’t be playing Sara anymore. The Michael/Sara relationship was the main reason i watch the show. But now i am seriously considering not watching it anymore. I don’t know the truth about what’s happened between Sarah and FOX, all i do know is that without Sara’s role in the show, Prison Break will lose viewers. And the ridiculous body double for Sarah Wayne Callies p*ssed me right off. It’s so stupid. I think the people at FOX need to get their sh*t together and get Sarah and Sara back into the show. Or the show will suffer.
No Sara…..? GIMME MY REMOTE….! I’ll change the channel
Sarah did leave prison break.. infact in season 3 episode 4 Lincoln sees her head in a box so that might be the end for sarah but you can’t say that sarah died because i haven’t seen episode 5 yet.
But at the end someone has to die and if the they had just stopped it in season 2 in the end, it would have been better cause it’s coming very boring.. all the same story… I hope that it will not last till season 5 cause that’s what i heard…
I just think prison break does not make any sense in sarah leaves the show…michael and sarah have always had problems, and never really got the chance of being a real couple in seasons 1 and 2 so you expected them to FINALLY make it in the third…well, time will tell, and also I hope the 3rd season does nt ruin the first2, even though I can t see that happening cause I think it should ve been a 2season show, after that, too much is too much…
I TOTALY AGREE WITH KATIE, PRISON BREAK DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL WITHOUT SARA, HER AND MICHAEL NEVER REALLY GOT THE CHANCE OF BEING TOGETHER AND YOU WOULD HAVE HOPED IT TO HAPPEN IN THE3RD SEASON, ALSO I CANNOT IMMAGINE MICHAEL FALLING FOR SOMEONE ELSE, HIM AND SARA ARE SO MEANT TO BE TOGETHER…WELL, IT SHOULD HAVE ENDED IN THE 2ND SEASON ANYWAY, I M SURE THE 3 AND 4 AND WHATEVER WILL RUIN THE GREAT FIRS TWO
well, i’ve heard from different sources that sara isn’t dead. That the head in the box wasn’t hers. Susan said that she felt mad about what she’d done to “that woman”. she always says sara, and in the next sentence she says LJ’s name, not “that boy” or something. Personly I think that the head in the box was from that woman Lincoln saw at the mourge in the first episode of season 3. I looked like it too. And the ones working with the show said she was to important to kill of, ans sara herself wantet to be on the show this season too. The reason they’d let everyone believe sara was dead was so she could spend more time with her baby, and also so they could get more action to the storyline and make it more exiting to watch.
I do hope that’s true, ‘cos sara is an importent charakter in the show, prison break would loose a lot of watchers if she didn’t come back, and if that happens the show’d have to end. And that cannot happen, the show is still the best Tv-Show ever!=)
Sara is a good figure and played a vital role in this show, damn it , she kicks off the show looses trend, get to the table
I wish if sarah return back cuz the story will be perfect if she stay and the love story will complet .. she’s very nice character and sad thing if the end of sarah …
i’m in love with sarah!!!!!
