Sarah Wayne Callies Nixed By Prison Break

Sarah Wayne Callies Nixed By Prison Break

Sarah Wayne Callies is not returning to Prison Break this season, reports TV Guide.

The 30-year-old actress, who plays Dr. Sara Tancredi, was reportedly on maternity leave but apparently that’s not the case!

This doesn’t make much sense creatively for the show as Prison Break spent two years building her relationship with Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), but we’ll see how the writers spin this one. Who’s going to be Michael’s new love interest this season???

Back in January, it was announced that Callies would be expecting her first child, with husband Josh Winterhalt, in late summer. No news about the birth has officially been announced yet but the baby is reportedly a girl.

UPDATE: A publicist for FOX just issued a statement exclusively to JustJared.com: “Actually – the network and studio has not confirmed that Sarah Wayne Callies has departed the series this season. Dr. Sara Tancredi plays a significant part in the storyline this year.” So the question still remains — will Callies return as Dr. Tancredi?

I actually wouldn’t miss her character on the show, I thought it didn’t ”fit” the show in its second season anymore.

They have just lost a viewer. It’s writing suicide the whole Michael Sara thing is one of the reasons so many females tune in. It’s such a loss and mistake

This is totally writing suicide. Perhaps it is just for this season. What is going on? I hate this. I want Sarah BACK!

This totally sucks!!!

Missy @ 09/07/2007 at 12:21 pm

Bye bye PB !!! The season 2 was good but not enough for me to continuing to watch the show, what was motivating me was the conspiracy, lincoln’s freedom and michael and sara, so I’ll just say BYE PRISON BREAK !!!

Grumpy Old Troll @ 09/07/2007 at 12:24 pm

I bet they replaced her character with a guy since Wenty is light in the loafers. He probably refused to have his love interest be a woman! Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!

I don’t buy it. Ausiello is not reliable. The show and the actress will come forward and deny it soon for sure.

# 21

ils vont... @ 09/07/2007 at 12:27 pm

Maybe his new love interest will be a guy? what do you think?

It’s really disappointing how easily they are willing to destroy such a great chemistry (betw. Sarah and Went) they have on and off screen.

There won’t be any new Sara - can’t imagine that Michael will love somebody else again.

To Sarah’s child: Didn’t Ausiello confirm that Sarah gave birth?

# 23

Tara @ 09/07/2007 at 12:29 pm

Important people @ PB, you F*$ked up this time…BOO……

# 24

lily @ 09/07/2007 at 12:33 pm

Oh please, the actress dumped the show. It’s not Prison Break’s fault if she refuses to come back.

Why is it their fault if she would rather be with her baby?

The show didn’t destroy anything. If anybody destroyed something it’s the actress herself.

# 25

Olivia @ 09/07/2007 at 12:38 pm

Lily,

How do you know it was Sarah’s decision and not PB’s?

# 26

tanique33 @ 09/07/2007 at 12:40 pm

damnit jared. let’s hope her death, is what makes story.

# 27

MiSa love @ 09/07/2007 at 12:40 pm

a recast would make this even wors …
an actor IS the character … you don´t replace them …

seriously, all that talk “Michael and sara will take care of each other”, “it is going to be a rollercoasterride” “i´ll be back, for sure” makes it so difficult and out of the blue …

why not just say in the beginning “we´ll see how my pregnancie goes and all … i won´t say anything for sure now” … but no … SWC WAS GOING TO RETURN … so this is scandalizing …

i´m deeply hurt and angry.

blue @ 09/07/2007 at 12:43 pm

they are stupid,no one else with Michael makes sense,they were building this relationship for 2 years…bye bye Prison Break!

# 29

lily @ 09/07/2007 at 12:47 pm

Of course it’s the decision of the actress. Why would the writers want her out if they don’t even have an exit storyline shot.

No, if she is gone, she’s definitely the one who dumped THEM, not the other way around.
