Here's what I read from Nikki at Prisonbreakbuff... She says she might post some video and stills from the event so I will try and find.. I don't know if this is what you were talking about amy but I thought but would be interesting anyways...Enjoy!
Prison Break Panel - Comic Con - Live by Nikki on July 25th, 2008 Prison Break Comic Con Panel:
NO WENTWORTH!! Everyone’s upset, and Dominic seems a little hurt that they are upset!!
After the sneak peek clip everyone came on stage.
Sarah Wayne Callies thanks the audience for their fan mail and says she’s gotten a ton of origami swans. Meanwhile Dominic Purcell takes pictures of the audience!! Sarah says that Sara is coming back a very different person. She says that she sees it in friends of hers that are coming back from the war, and it’s an interesting time to relate to this…
Matt Olmstead adds to this, saying that they couldn’t give Sarah a role during Season 3 because she’d just be tied to a chair. “There are no physical barriers, but there are barriers,” he says in regards to their characters.
We are told that, this season Michael will be affected by stress in a way nobody can predict.
Sarah talks about her “I think in the beginning of the series Sara was an advocate on behalf of men on death role. She was profoundly influenced by Gandhi. And I think now there’s a very small part of her that thinks that it’s all out the window. That it’s easier to be motivated by rage and hatred and revenge. And if it were not for Michael she would not bother looking beyond that.” She says Sara needs to look inside herself. And where are the characters going? To the ultimate extreme and they all know they can die. She says a small part of Sara wants to give into that, and throw herself into the bullets - rather than look at herself in the mirror at the end of the day and wonder who she is.
Sucre will be back, along with Mahone and Bellick - which we already knew!!
A fan asks what they do behind the scenes, do they have fun, and will we ever see bloopers?!? “We’ve been doing this for four years,” Dominic says. “And it comes to the place where you’ve got to crack jokes!” He says he’s serious about what he does, but he also realizes the absurdity about it. “We’ve all got a really good vibe,” he says. Dominic also gives a nod to the writers. “The writers on this show allow the actors to be spontaneous and give us permission to play with their words. That is unique and gives us a good deal of comfort.”
Sarah agrees. “I think there’s also points when you’ve been working for 16 hours and sprinting and running, and you hit a certain point where it’s all funny. And then you just need to go home!”
Dominic talks about Wentworth and says they work well together. “A relationship for me and Went is all about friendship. Working with Went has been one of the easiest things of my professional career.”
One of the fans wishes Sarah’s daughter a happy birthday (on Monday). Sarah thanks her and then talks about being on network television every week. She says it’s great for her own mom to watch her! Although not the drowning or the head in the box scene. “I may get back to theater, sooner rather than later,” she says. Not sure what that means!!
Another fan asks about a clip at the end of the Season 2 finale with what looked like an animal lab. Dominic and Sarah say they want to know too! Matt says that it was scripted to be Padman putting on a mask and walking into an animal testing facility - just to add in some intrigue. The writers argued about it and decided to cut out right before he walked in. It may come into Season 4, it may not…
That’s it guys! Dominic bolted immediately. I tried to get an autograph from Sarah but the staff shoved us away and she left. Dominic then got swarmed offstage as everyone exited. I do have to say, he seemed VERY grumpy!! I don’t know what was up, but this panel didn’t have the energy that the one before it did (24). Still, I was thrilled to be here!! Hopefully I can an interview or set visit soon. Maybe we can start rallying together to get one!

What the hell happened this time? See what I mean about him not showing up, Heidy? I wonder if it really is the shooting schedule that keeps him away.

Nikki was saying that Dominic was very cranky, but after reading that a lot of people walked out of the panel when they were told Went wasn't going to be there after all, I think I know why. I'd be cranky too! That's just rude, and those people are clearly not real PB fans. Although, it would have been nice if he'd put the blackberry down for a second. Anyway, here's another article about ComicCon. Oh, Wentworth Miller, how you toy with your legion of fans. Mr. Miller, who has a rabid fan base (especially here at BuddyTV), has become known as something of a recluse or, at least, a person wary of any and all media attention. So, it was semi-big news when it was announced that the cast of Prison Break would be making their first in-person appearance at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. Tonight, you could feel the young females in the room squirm with excitement as the 24 panel ended and the stage was prepared for Prison Break. Little did they know that intense disappointment was on its way.
First, the FOX/Prison Break representative went out and put down the placards for the panel. There were the names you wanted to see: Dominic Purcell, Sarah Wayne Callies and, most important of all, Wentworth Miller. It was coming true, Wentworth fans felt, they were finally going to see him in person. Then, they showed the first ten or so minutes of the fourth season premiere. The crowd was lathered up and rarin' to go. Finally, the moment of truth; the cast and creative team arrived on stage. There was executive producer Matt Olmstead, there was Sarah Wayne and Dominic and...that was it. Wentworth Miller was nowhere to be seen, and the crowd lost its breath, a great many fans standing up and leaving the room the second that Olmstead said that Wentworth got stuck in LA shooting some pick-ups. Hmm, does that seem dubious or what?
SPOILER WARNING!!!!
So, yeah, that was a letdown for fans. But, there was other cool stuff. The beginning of the season premiere was cool, and definitely sets up what will come in season 4. Let's just say that Michael begins the season in Los Angeles, having tracked Whistler to Los Angeles. His priority: avenge Sarah's death. He goes to a party where Gretchen is doing some Company business, and through a series of events, is told by Gretchen (at gunpoint) that Sarah is not dead, that the whole thing was fixed. The Company needed leverage.
The main point of the panel, really, was to let us know that season 4 will revolve around Michael and Linc searching for Sarah and trying to figure out what has happened to her. However, it was interesting to hear Callies say that Sarah and Michael will have a reunion of sorts before the end of the two-hour season premiere.
A large theme is how two people, who had a prior relationship, can come back together after a serious trauma, after incredible drama, and relate to each other once again. Parallels to the current war veterans coming home to their families are drawn.
Season 4 will definitely be a departure for the series, and there doesn't look to be a prison involved, nor does it look like Michael and Linc are being pursued by anyone. They are, if my assumptions are correct, the pursuers. Prison Break fans may have been disappointed in Wentworth's no-show, but they should only be excited for the upcoming season.

Yeah I was kinda disappointed the panel was so weak. Not to say that Dom and Sara aren't great but outside of went's no-show, well they could have had tbag or maybe sucre or hell Gretchen! I felt they went short on the fans...so yeah all around disappointed And yeah Amy you're right..Went always finds an excuse not to go to these events. It just surprises me because he's all up in doing the promo abroad and he doesn't necessarily do these events..But I will give him the benefit of the doubt and believe that he might have really held back at work. But this isn't the first event he doesn't come along for the event and they say its work related...so I am started to doubt..

AND the first 10 minutes of the season 4 premiere!!

That was funny! Dominic destroyed the door. I wish they'd put a gag reel on the boxed set so we could see that happen.
