For the last few years we’ve had a steady flow of films being remade, rebooted, squealed etc. It’s a trend that doesn’t appear to going anywhere any time soon. In fact it even seems to have invaded the world of television shows. Work on a new series of both Twin Peaks and The X-Files is under way, and within the next few months we’ll have a reboot of Heroes in Heroes Reborn.
The latest series announced to be brought back to the small screen will be Prison Break. The first season followed genius Michael Scofield, played by Wentworth Miller, as he intentionally got himself sent to prison so that he could break out his brother Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) who was on death row. Subsequent seasons followed the pair as they were on the run from the law, had to escape a prison from Panama, and then tried to take down the company that were behind everything.
Actress Jodi Lyn O’Keefe joined the show in season three as Gretchen Morgan, a cruel and dangerous woman. As her story progressed we found out some of the reasons behind her actions, but like most characters you could never quite trust her. O’Keefe was in the UK this weekend at London Film and Comic Con and shared with us just how keen she is to return for the latest version of the show.
You were heavily involved in Prison Break, where did Gretchen end up again?
I lived.
There’s talk that that too is making a comeback.
(Nods head) That’s what I hear. I hear we’re coming back.
Are you interested in going back?
I would for sure go back. That’s my favourite television show. They only have to ask and I’m on-board.
We can’t help but think that there was something about her nod and the phrase ‘we’re’ coming back that suggests that O’Keefe may have already signed onto the revival.
