Sarah Wayne Callies - FOX Made Her Quit?

Gosh I hope this is a rumor! But it’s strange that nobody is coming out and refuting it…

According to an interview in French magazine Tele Star, former Prison Break star Sarah Wayne Callies, aka Dr. Sara Tancredi, was forced to quit the show. Here is a rough translation of the interview (if the magazine is credible):

Big surprise on Prison Break. We hear that you’re leaving the show in the third season.
Yes, but I didn’t have the choice. I’m sad, but it’s just show business.

You weren’t expecting this?
No, at the end of season 2 last year. I was sure I’d continue. It’s such a great adventure we achieved.

How did you know you were fired?
I don’t want to speculate too much about this. I was shocked.

Your leaving the show was a big deal. You have to tell us more!
I’ll just say this. I am sorry to let down the viewers. I have loved the support Sara Tancredi got from them. and though she was a victim of her own destiny, I liked how she made decisions by herself. But the way things ended up couldn’t have been foreseen. Again, I was deceived by the decision.

How did your fellow actors react?
They told me ‘It’s too bad. I loved working with you and good luck, we hope we can work together again.’

And Wentworth [Miller]?
We were so sad that we wouldn’t work together anymore. Wentworth is a gentleman. He’s gracious and full of class. And i learned a lot from him. But in a series like “Prison Break,” apart from Wentworth, anyone can go. When I took the role of Sara, I thought it’d be for only a year. Afterwards, I was so happy to get a second year.

If they call you back, will you accept?
Of course! I don’t have another role right now. Right now, I need to find work.

How will Sara make her exit from the series?
I don’t know. I’m not part of the team anymore and don’t have any influence on the storyline.

How is being a mom to baby Keala?
It’s a rich experience and unpredictable. You can’t plan anything. (Keala was born in July 2007.)

What projects do you currently have today?
I’ll rest another month in Vancouver (Canada). Afterwards, I’ll go to California for a little bit. After that, I’d like to do theater in New York. I honed my skills on the stage and I miss it.

    Julie, I was just thinking the same thing!!!… Sarah is a lot more articulate and intelligent than this article makes her sound. I think people are just making stuff up.

    yeah but think about it…from the beginning of season 3 they didn’t show her at all! just one time when she called michael from where she was captured. and there, we didn’t see her at all, just her back. maybe a double?

    this interview seems fake to me too but if you get the fackts together, yeah she is deas in the show :p

    Never say never in Prison Break.
    How do we know that is her in the box? It doesnt look like her…apart from the dialouge the woman gives to Burrows about doing it.

    Who knows!?

    We will see…

    I don’t want to believe that Sara is gone!!! She was the only one helping Michael to move on!What they have is too special to be wasted! Please bring her back! MiSa’s love story was the only thing in the show that was actually hopefull!!! And ofcourse, Michael’s reaction when he finds it out will be horible!! I really hope you bring her back, otherwise the show is going to loose many fans! It’s the best thing you could do!!!! I am from Greece and I am really looking forward to see how the relationship will go on!!!

    “I don’t Sarah would say all of the things said in this interview and she definately wouldn’t say them like that.”

    It’s a translation, it’s bound to sound a little different.

    Another poster suggested it was the head of the woman Linc saw at the morgue. I’m hoping this is the case. The show wouldn’t be worth watching without the Sara+Michael saga. It’s just such a flat ending. It would only torment Michael’s soul further… for every good deed he does, a dozen horrific things seem to play out! Jeesh, how much suffering can one man bear?! I just can’t imagine his future without Sara. :(

    I just noticed something. On the head in the box, it looks like there are scratches on the side of the face, similar to the ones on the face of the woman that supposedly cut Sara’s head off… remember in the bar when Linc asked her what happened to her face and she said it was a “big cat”. Kind of an errie coincidence… I wonder if this means something.
