Prison Break: Is Gretchen Getting a Spin-off?

Fox canceled Prison Break a few weeks back, but as we speak, producers are casting and shooting two additional hours of the show.

What does that mean?

Are they finally creating that women's prison spin-off?

Is evil (but hot) Company babe Gretchen getting a spin-off?

Here's what we're hearing...

Despite what many of you fans have emailed, Fox is not cooking up a show around Gretchen, nor is it working on a ladies-behind-bars spin-off. The Prison Break creative team is finally making that much-discussed two-hour wrap-up film.

The two bonus eps are titled "The Old Ball and Chain" and "Free," and they take place a couple of days after the events of the season finale. A studio source tells us exclusively that they're "a self-contained Prison Break adventure in which Michael faces the most challenging break ever." And yes, Gretchen is involved, but so is the rest of the Prison Break cast you know and love.

No word yet about when or where the eps will premiere, but will you be watching when they appear? What do you expect from Michael and Sara's final hours together?

Episode 4.16: The Sunshine State

TVGuide released this synopsis. I’m not so sure I like this whole psychiatrist thing!

While Linc and his new colleagues are in hot pursuit of Scylla in Miami, Michael is at a remote mountain cabin in California, where he learns something new about the Company. He’s also guided through childhood memories by a Company psychiatrist (John Getz). Meanwhile, Sara is waiting for news of Michael in a luxury hotel, and she’s not enjoying the luxury.

Prison Break - What’s Going On and Why?
Sarcasm provided compliments of Emma

So the last we left our band of merry men and a lady (with her head fully intact) they were stressing out over the fact that the 1 card they thought they had to steal (which was done in less then 24 hrs thank you very much) was actually a pizza (I mean not a pizza but like a pizza, slices, anyway) there 6 cards (insert music of doom).

Michael in a rage of anger we have yet to see goes OFF on Agent Self and for wasting their time if he knew there was more then 1 card (which he didn’t or maybe he did, who knows) Now Michael screaming and turning shades of a beet tells Agent Self that they did the job asked. Agent Self was hearing none of that and realizing he has his own ass to cover says look its all cards or back to jail (he loves to just rub that jail thing in everyone’s face). **I must add here that seeing Michael get angry is a nice change from the quiet eye burning he usually does. However something made me giggle when he was yelling. Regardless he looked hot.

Michael Rapaport Signs On For 'Prison Break'

A few weeks ago, TV Guide broke the story that Prison Break would be adding at least two new characters to season 4. The first is Penrab, a deadly assassin for The Company who’s been waiting be called in to take somebody out. Then there's Don, an FBI handler who will become useful to Michael. He has strategies and tactics for bringing The Company down from the inside out. Today, Fox announced that Michael Rapaport will be joining the cast of Prison Break as "a government agent who has an interesting offer for Michael and Lincoln". Could this be our Don?
Rapaport has had a recurring role on NBC's My Name Is Earl as a criminal named Frank. He had a sitcom of his own, The War At Home, which lasted two seasons on Fox. He has a long standing relationship with the network, appearing on Boston Public from 2001-2004. He had a memorable stint on Friends as Gary, the policeman, who dated Phoebe. His film credits include Higher Learning, Hitch, and the upcoming Only In New York, which also stars James Caviezel.

There are rumors swirling that the fourth season of Prison Break could be its last. The show has experienced a steady decline in viewership over the years but Fox had stood behind the drama. Wentworth Miller, the show's star, has hinted that he would love to move on at the end of next season. He recently told Britain's Glamour magazine, "I really feel there's a beginning, middle and an end to this story and my gut feeling is that we're on the last leg of the journey." Despite the drop in ratings, the show has maintained a solid and loyal fan base. Many of them would like to see the show go out on top so perhaps it's time that Michael settles things with The Company once and for all.

Prison Break - Episode 3.13 - TV Guide Review

Prison Break
Episode 3.13: The Art of the Deal
Airs: February 18, 2008
TV Guide Review
Because of the then-impending writers’ strike, the show’s producers planned last fall to craft the 13th episode as a viable winter finale, with cliff-hangers, storylines that veer in new directions, the departure of at least one character and an open road for others. Says Dominic Purcell, who plays Michael’s brother, Lincoln, “There’s a resolution to certain characters, and [the episode] propels others into a longer journey.”


One such journey reaches a climax when Susan takes on a worthy adversary: Michael.
“When she comes face to face with him, she deals with Michael differently than she deals with everyone else,” O’Keefe says. “I think people are going to be very shocked by her relationship with Michael. She’s not really had to deal with anybody where she hasn’t gotten away with everything, but he’s on her level.” And Susan gets more than a little testy when things don’t go her way.
“Michael is her equal — or more so,” Purcell agrees. “Lincoln’s the volatile, instinctual, explosive guy, whereas Michael is much more inclined to use intellect to get what he wants. Susan has to play different cards with the brothers.”
While some plotlines get tied up, O’Keefe assures fans that Prison Break still has new roads to explore. “I know what Susan’s relationship with Whistler is. Let’s just say they go way back,” she teases.
Of course, that assumes Susan survives the episode. And on Prison Break, time has a way of running out.

Prison Break - Sucre Behind Bars!

Amaury Nolasco recently revealed to Prison Break Magazine that his character, Fernando Sucre, will end up behind bars in Sona sometime before the season 3 finale (February 18th). He said: “Sona is still going to remain a very important part of the show. Sucre ends up as a prisoner in Sona. Something inside is going to prove very important to Michael and Lincoln completing their mission. Once again they are going to have to rely on their friend Mr. Fernando Sucre.”

The End's Not Near, It's Here

First off, happy new year one and all! I hope you had a great winter holiday but now lets get down to business! It has been officially confirmed today from FOX that season 3 of Prison Break will only have 13 episodes in total (8 have already aired). This is VERY bad news and could spell the end of Prison Break for good, that is if the story hasn't been wrapped up already (doubtful).

Due to the STATE OF THE UNION address on Monday, Jan. 28, PRISON BREAK will now have its season finale Monday, Feb. 18 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT)

The strike is beginning to get ridiculous and because of this shows are being screwed up left, right and center!

Episode Recap: "Bang and Burn"

OK, color me a little bit confused. When I asked Jodi Lyn O'Keefe about the "fall finale" — which at the time was to air in mid-December, a few episodes from now — she mentioned the helicopter stunts. Then, thanks to the strike and Fox's rejiggered schedule, this week's episode was dubbed the "fall finale." And yet there the helicopters are...? This is something for me to figure out, but I had to share my puzzlement. [Editor's note: I have since been told that Jodi was mistaken when recounting the episode.] On with the recap!

I feel like so much has happened in the past three hours, after some middling, poky episodes. All of a sudden, Gretchen and the Company have some quasimilitary force at their disposal? Complete with a steely bunker for strategic plotting and unrolling maps?

I liked the sequence where Michael labored to get word to Lincoln at the same time Lincoln was trying to get word to Michael about Whistler's secret agenda. Good tension. Imagine if swaggering Sammy didn't bother to tell Lechero who was on the phone.

All of a sudden there's a tunnel beneath decrepit Sona, accessible by state-of-the-art keypads, both of which Lechero knows the code for? He never thought to round up his squad of goons to dig through the rubble? Or is the point that even if they did get outside, they didn't have a compromised section of fence to race for?

Lincoln and Sucre recording the gunshots — is that for something later? Or is that another clue that this episode was some sort of mishmash of "Bang and Burn" and the actual "fall finale"? I know, I'm getting caught up in that again. Sorry.

I sense that Dominic Purcell's want for Linc to get hot and heavy with Sofia may be a step closer to fruition now that Whistler's lady feels all betrayed and such by "Gary Miller." What does this guy know, what is he capable of doing, with the stakes so high for "the General" and his Company to bust him out? Seeing as how it almost worked (and that it would have were Michael not locked up in Sona), why wasn't "bang and burn" Plan A from the get-go?

Then there is Mahone. I can't tell if he was able to save his bacon as he eventually reached some sort of lucidity at the end there. Did Lang see him coming around, or did she toss the drugs as a form of giving up on him? Again, I can't tell.

This was the last new episode for a while, gang, until Jan. 14. Good cliff-hanger.
