Nick Santora on Sara…

Update: Read the latest on Prison Break Season 4 and Sarah Wayne Callies’ return here!

I’m definitely looking forward to episode 6 now!!!

The latest from PBreakFans…

I loved tonight’s ep – not because I wrote it because, frankly, so much goes into make an ep that the writing is just one part of it. I just think the whole team put together a great ep. As for Sara, I know some of you are sad to see a beloved character go, but truth is, the writer/producers had no say in the matter. Despite Melvel’s misinformed comments, the writer/producers have NOTHING to do with negotiations with actors. The studio and SWC couldn’t come to an agreement – plain and simple. It isn’t the studio’s fault and it isn’t SWC’s fault. The writer/producers were eventually told … “The actress that play Dr. Tancredi isn’t coming back … make it work.” And we did. I think we worked the shit out of it! A head in a box is kick-ass! And in response to someone’s comments that the writers shouldn’t just write what they want, I say you couldn’t be more wrong. An artist has to be true to their vision … we write what we want … we get note from our collaborators (studio and network), we make changes due to budget and scheduling restraints, but at the end of the day, we write what gets us excited. If killing characters is what we feel is best in a given situation, we’re gonna kill the shit out of ‘em. We’re gonna stab ‘em and shoot ‘em and cut their heads off. If people don’t like it and turn the show off, we have to deal with the consequences. But we all loved the Sara character and we are going to give her the respect she deserved because her memory will not be forgotten and her death will NOT GO UNAVENGED!!! (hint hint: WATCH EPISODE 6). (it would be silly to give up on a great show because one character is gone. But if you do, that is your right and your choice, and to those that leave the show now, all I can say is thank you for your support and you are making a mistake.) (ps – this is the last and final time I will post on the loss of SWC – anything interesting that can be said on the subject has been said) have a nice evening, PB fans, see you next week! Best, Nick.

    Nick Santora quote (about killing Sara) on the new PB magazine: I wanted to see how many people i could piss off at once, simply by finishing the stage direction: Lincoln opens the box and finds…..

    Wow congradulation because YOU ACTUALY PISSED OFF A LOT OF PEOPLE. Hope you’re proud of yourself you eliot. God, what a stupid way to think. PB team the best you can do for the show is to firing this jerk. HATE HIM.

    PB writters are a buch of LIAR.

    Hahahahahahaha god you’re so funny. I could not breathe any more because I was not capable of stopping laughing. You should host a humour show. Guys don’t you think is funny? Maybe you should read the title of the forum before laughing of the others, you idiot.

    Yeah, actually, I do like Sammy, and I’m mad as hell because they are going to kill him off in the next episode. I think that fucking sucks, and let me go on record here as saying right now-

    Nick Santora, if you kill off Sammy, I am going to stop watching Prison Break. I mean, a little death and darkness is all right, but by God, when you kill off a great character like Sammy, that is going too fucking far.

    I am going to start a petition and DEMAND that Sammy not be killed, or if he is, that it turn out to be a mistake, or a joke, or a part of the plot and that you BRING SAMMY BACK!!!!

    HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa

    God this season is a joke. Does some of you care about Sammie and his clic. It’s like it don’t even fit with the last season. A completly different storyline who totally suck. Thanks to the network who destroy the first writters idea (i’m sure it was better because evething can be better then what we’re stuck with, even the young and the restless) and let just say that the plan B is totally crap, so the writters are not much more better in this. Well, let just say thank you for ruinning my monday night pleasure as watching this show who was once amazing. I’m so pissed of you. I’m not even sure if you have the right to make a strike when you write shi** like this. Maybe in the last two years but not right now. Who will want to give money when you once have 9 millions of viewers to only been stuck with 4 millions now. Well not me.

    Everything just sucks. Life at times and so does television. Too bad you can’t rely on anything or anyone anymore. The poor pathetic writers are on strike. remember. They killed Sarah to get back at their oh so underpaid salaries. How pathetic is that. They probably make more than 5 or 6 of us put together. You know they are only screwing themselves because if they continue to piss off the viewers no one will watch their show and then it will be canceled and then they will for sure not have a job. So fantastic work dumb ass writers!!!

    « As for Sara, I know some of you are sad to see a beloved character go»

    OK first, I don’t think sad it’s the right work, disgust, betray, angry and i can keep going longer. Everything about Sara character for season 3 has been lies, over lies, over lies. Well let just say about the season at all. They took away Sara for Michael motivation, wowwww I think Michael could have been more motivate to go after the company if his love one has been torture and rape somewhere. « It was a long conversation … blabla bla» Apparently it wasn’t long enough. They broke the most beautiful romance on TV right now to WHAT, introduce some new women as a love for Michael. He already had someone and we wanted to see him with Sara (can you get it) not with some new chick Molly. Bring a new love if you want but for Lincoln not for Michael.

    SECOND «But we all loved the Sara character and we are going to give her the respect she deserved because her memory will not be forgotten and her death will NOT GO UNAVENGED!!! (hint hint: WATCH EPISODE 6).»

    What a big revenge, throwing a chicken foot on the floor as a diversion for the escape plan. I really see Michael in a different way and you???

    THIRD, « it would be silly to give up on a great show because one character is gone. But if you do, that is your right and your choice, and to those that leave the show now, all I can say is thank you for your support and you are making a mistake.»

    You guys are the one who did a MISTAKE by killing what you still call A GREAT SHOW.

  8. By stephanie

    Well then don’t waste your time to post in here because the show give you exactly what you want which mean killing everyone. I’m fine with some dead but enough is enough. They don’t know what to do to make great drama except killing everyone. I prefer to watch Simpson like you said then watch everyone die in Prison break.

  9. By KONVICT

    micheal is not a good guy im not watching untill president reynolds and kellerman are 2gether boo hoo and i demand they bring back agent danny hale boo hoo#2 get over it im with the pagen temple as it makes sense sorry if the misa fools that bich post on here dont like a little freindly carcasm but dont you think youd be better off tradeing your pb box set 4 a simpsons one

  10. By The Pagan Temple

    I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore. I demand the writers and producers of Prison break bring back-

    John Abruzzi, Tweener, Haywire, Veronica Donovan, Charles Westmoreland, and Marilyn the cat. If they don’t, by God, I’m not going to watch it anymore.

    At the en d of the first season the writters wanted to kill Sara off, but Fox said no way she’s the love interest of the main characters, we need her. So we get attach to her for another season. Then we want to see her in season three, the writters planned a story with her but NOW Fox it’s like nonononono we need Michael motivation so kill her off. God do you guys know what you want.You should kill her off after season one, now you just pissed the viewers off because we used to love the character and wanted to know more about her. Her death at the end of season one would have been shocking but less shocking then now. Thank you for the waste of time.

  12. By Aly

    I personally am having tons of mixed feelings about this whole situation aka…the brutal and shocking death of Sara Tancredi. On the one hand, I am severly depressed and angry and I am just aching for episode 6, cuz it seems like that’s gonna be the one when Michael finally finds out that his true love is gone. Then on another hand, there’s still a part of me that thinks/hopes this is just another staged death of a PB character and that Sara will somehow and someday come back (which would be the best solution of them all!) But the one thing I really can’t stop thinking about is that obviously the writers/studio were already planning to kill Sara, and we knew that ‘something’ in the 3 season was going to tear Michael and Lincoln apart. Well I still wish we could’ve gotten to see those ‘really emotional scenes’ between Michael and Sara before she died that the writers were planning to do with SWC cuz their love story now is totally unresolved. I’ll still watch PB for a while, but only to see Michael’s reaction about Sara. After that, I’m not sure how strong my loyalty to the show will be.

  13. By PB & J (formerly PB Groupies)

    I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. IT’S NOT FAIR!!! Michael is the good guy. Why do all the good people in the world fiction or nonfiction have to get screwed? This world is such a screwed up place and life at times suck!!! So wanting to watch a show that does have dark and intense scenes is entertaining, but how often do you sit and watch something and get emotionally attatched to a character and at the end of the show/movie the good guy who tried so hard to help someone ends up screwed and after it is all said and done you are pissed that you wasted your precious time that you can’t get back on watching something that was ultimately depressing. That is what is happening to Prison Break. After every show you end up depressed and wonder why I wasted my time.
    So, I guess what I am trying to say, is thank you. Thank you for killing off Sarah early enough that I will stop watching your depressing show and get back my time that I was wasting by watching your depressing and dark tv program!!

    a head in a box is SEVEN’s plagiarism. i can’t believe producers thought it was “so original” Oo

  15. By stephanie

    This new season was ssupposed to be about redemption. well it seem like the writters lied to us all summer. Because this season will be more about death, vengence and separation. That’s suck.

  16. By The Pagan Temple

    Kristen xx-

    No, Nick Santora isn’t a liar. He said we would definitely see Sarah again. Well, we saw her.

    WE SAW HER HEAD IN A BOX. BUT WE SAW HER. END OF STORY. SHE’S DEAD.

    By the way, who are “all” these people that wanted Sarah to stay on the show. No, “all” people did not want to see that. I did not, and there are plenty of other people that did not want to see that. Well, looks like we got out way. Boo Hoo to everybody else.

    Me, I like darkness in shows. When it comes to Prison Break, the darker the better. Why don’t you people watch “Chuck”? I’m sure you’ll never see anything bad happen to a character on that show, at least not one of the good guys, or the ones you really like.

    There are plenty of other shows you can watch where you can live out your romantic fantasies vicariously through the characters. I won’t bother listing them here, I’m sure you can find them, and probably already have.

    So what makes you think every show on television should be written to satisfy you? That sounds pretty damn selfish to me, which is why I don’t really care how much of an ass I come across as to you.

    Oh, and this French web-site that claims if you send an e-mail before October 15th, they will relay it to Fox and make them change their minds?

    Not going to happen. If you do send them an e-mail, by the way, I hope your virus protection is up to date. They aren’t going to change their minds about anything, I don’t care how many of you sign it.

    Me, I’m looking forward to more death, more destruction, more bloodshed, and more tragedy with a healthy dose of sordid sex and gallows humor. In fact, I demand it, and as long as this show gives it, I will keep watching it, and keep promoting it.

  17. By kristen xx prison break rox!

    santora is a LIAR is assured us she would be ok, and they we would see her again real soon, that was whole load of bull!!!! im really angry about all of this

  18. By stephanie

    Well the compagny are good enought to fake a head in a box and even if it’s an action / adventure show it can have some love don’t you think. Lost is an action / aventure show but is not as dark as PB. Anyway i may be dreaming, will see. And i don’t really care about Mcgrady, if all of the new characters could just die i will be really happy. :-)

  19. By KONVICT

    shes blatently gone her head was off her neck and in the box baby thats the diff between abruzzi getting slashed and the drs head in the box its an action/adventure show and i think mcgrady will die soon

  20. By stephanie

    Hey you guys if you want this to change go to this site: http://www.undeniable-attraction.com/
    It’s a french web site but what you have to do is … write a letter (explain why you want Sara back) and then send it to this adresse: guinevere_79@yahoo.com …. she wil send all of your letters to FOX. Please do it before october, 15
