Prison Break Is | Sara Really Dead

Michael Scofield, the man who mapped the un-mappable, was trapped. The Company—the shadowy cabal running the world—needed him to break out a terrorist named Whistler. Their leverage? Dr. Sara Tancredi, his newly reunited love.

Clumsy execution, brilliant emotional payoff. They had us in the first half, not gonna lie. Do you think the show would have been better if Sara had stayed dead, or was the resurrection the right call?

Actress Sarah Wayne Callies had been written off due to a reported contract dispute and creative differences. The producers had a choice: recast, send her to Belize, or kill her. They chose the nuclear option. In a move ripped from The Godfather , Michael finds a box on a dock. Inside, floating in a Ziploc bag, is a severed head with Sara’s distinctive auburn curls.
