Prison Break

Nick Santora on Sara…

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.
