So, let’s begin with what I DON’T want to happen.

Michael cannot die. That would be so utterly pointless. Let me give you an example. For those of you who watch Lost, I recently learned that they had intended to kill Jack (Matthew Fox’s character) very early in season 1. However, shortly before filming the pilot the studio realized that it would be damaging to the fans to become invested in that character only to have him die off so quickly. So imagine that, ABC didn’t want to kill off a character after only 1 or 2 episodes and he went on to become a main character. Think about how much the audience has invested in Michael. Killing him off after 4 seasons would be a horrible mistake. Giving him a tumor and having him get surgery is acceptable, because despite these trials, I am absolutely convinced that he will survive. But killing him is unacceptable, in the same way that killing Sara was a very bad idea. What was the point of that? Was saving her life not enough motivation for Michael? In all honesty, we have to wonder whether the “death” of Sara in season 3 was a catalyst for declining ratings. We don’t really know, but I do know that killing the main character of a show is not the ending I want. It would completely invalidate the rest of the series.

You cannot end the series in the same manner you ended seasons 1 though 3. Remember the Fox River 8 running off into the field at the end of season 1, or Michael walking into Sona at the end of season 2, or Michael driving off with vengeance on the brain at the end of season 3? All of those endings were unfinished and they were acceptable as season endings, because we knew that the show would return to finish off that logical train of thought. But you cannot leave things unfinished in a series ending. Anyone remember Buffy? In the last episode her hometown was destroyed and there were questions about what they would do next, but there was a measure of finality in the series. She had defeated her worst enemy and the hellmouth was closed. If you’re going to end a show, you need closure. Otherwise, people will always remember it as that show that didn’t really have an ending.

Sources confirmexclusively that three characters will be dying very soon on Prison Break, and if you’re going to believelovely leading lady Sarah Wayne Callies, at least one ofthemwill not be easy for the fans to take. “We’re going to lose a couple of people, a couple of people we have loved from the beginning,” she tells us exclusively.”And we’re very, very, very sorry to see go. And we may be starting to lose the one person none of us thought we could.”Ummm…If you’re talking about Wentworth Miller (Michael Scofield), Sarah, you’ll need to give us (and millions of fans around the globe) a moment, a paper bag to breathe into and possibly some Valium ’cause we were under the assumption that men who are hot as fire are not killed off of TV shows!

To prevent widespread (and internal) panic, I have done some digging among sources and have this exclusive scoop on the upcoming deaths and shockers you must prepare yourself for…

The facts:

-There arethree big deaths over the next two episodes. (Note: The show is preempted on Oct. 27 for the World Series.)

-One of them involves a character who has been on the show since day one.

-There is a shooting, a torture and a drowning.

-One is very heroic.

-And OMG, Michael Scofieldis totally not going to die.Are you crazy?

E!Online

“Prison Break’s executive producer Matt Olmstead has admitted that the show may be axed in the near future.

In the wake of poor ratings for recent episodes, Olmstead told Entertainment Weekly: “There’s a shelf life to serialized drama. If this is the last season, we’re not mourning that because it’s been a great ride and we have a great season [ahead].”

In the event of the series being cancelled midway through the current run, Olmstead stated that the writers will “definitely have enough time to prepare for an appropriate ending. The season finale we have in mind could play as a season or series finale.”

However, he admitted that Prison Break’s producers have “absolutely been encouraged by the response” to the fourth season. “It took a while to get the right idea… and to have the audience supporting it is very gratifying.”
