  • She Bangs! O'Keefe Turns Sitcom Trick, Returns to Prison | Today's News: Our Take | 4/27/2009
    Jodi Lyn O'Keefe is going from Prison Break bad girl to sitcom working girl, with a guest-starring turn on this Monday's The Big Bang Theory (8 pm/ET, CBS). O'Keefe gave us a look at exactly who of the Big Bangers she'll "do business" with, as well as shared a glimpse at her return to prison.

    TVGuide.com: Had you seen The Big Bang Theory before?
    Jodi Lyn O'Keefe: Oh yes. I'm [series creator] Chuck Lorre's biggest fan, and have been working with him my whole life. He usually brings me on to the shows that he's doing to either guest-star or recur. I couldn't be happier. 

    TVGuide.com: Right, you've been on Two and a Half Men...
    O'Keefe: Twice, and I recurred on Dharma & Greg.... I adore Chuck — he is one of the funniest men in Hollywood. He really knows how to write. 

    TVGuide.com: Let's talk about Big Bang Theory's Mikayla.
    O'Keefe: I'm a hooker ... read more 8 Comments

  • Big Bangers Meet Prison Break Bad Girl | Today's News: Our Take | 4/14/2009

    What happens in Vegas ... apparently will be played for maximum comic effect when the boys of The Big Bang Theory cross paths with Prison Break alumna Jodi Lyn O'Keefe.

    In the CBS hitcom's April 27 episode, Leonard and Koothrappali escort a heartbroken Wolowitz to Las Vegas. There, O'Keefe boots the geeks' hard drives as Mikayla, a "working girl" — and not in the Melanie Griffith vein.

  • Jodi Lyn O'Keefe: Is Prison Break's Bad Girl a Goner? | Today's News: Our Take | 12/23/2008
    Warning: The following Q&A contains spoiler information from the Dec. 22 midseason finale of Prison Break.

    Has Gretchen committed her last double cross? For now, yes. Jodi Lyn O'Keefe's season-and-a-half Prison Break run came to a close this week when the former Company operative took a bullet in the belly and got carted away by EMTs, never to be seen again — this season, at least. TVGuide.com spoke with O'Keefe about her admirably extended stint on the Fox series where, like 24, nobody is ever truly safe.

    TVGuide.com: You made it pretty far; 28 episodes is pretty impressive on this show.
    Jodi Lyn O'Keefe: To be a bad guy, yeah. 

    TVGuide.com: And to be a female.
    O'Keefe: That's also true. I'll give myself extra credit for that! 

    TVGuide.com: Are you happy that they kept Gretchen alive? Do you think it was for a reason?
    O'Keefe: Yeah, I do. At the beginning of the year it was touch-and-go. There even was an article about how ... read more 14 Comments

  • Prison Break Winter Finale: Can Gretchen and Linc Play Nice? | Today's News: Our Take | 12/21/2008
    This Monday at 8 pm/ET, when Fox's Prison Break stages its annual midseason finale, the prospects for "Operation Scylla-Snatch" perhaps have never looked so bleak. Having gotten a hold of Michael and blackmailed Linc to do their bidding, the Company saddles Burrows with a most motley crew of accomplices: Gretchen, T-Bag and disgraced federal agent, Don Self.

    Can't these assorted archenemies just get along? "I think the Company is asking for trouble," Jodi Lyn O'Keefe (Gretchen) tells TVGuide.com. "Putting these people together ... read more 9 Comments

  • From Prison to Office, Stars Don't Know What's Ahead | Today's News: Our Take | 3/3/2008
    The WGA strike may have come and gone, but don't assume your favorite TV stars know any more about what the future holds than you do. "They haven’t told me anything," Prison Break baddie Jodi Lyn O’Keefe sighed at a Beverly Hills soiree celebrating designer Paige Adams-Gellar and celebrity trainer Ashley Bordon’s new book, Your Perfect Fit. "I don’t even know if I’m alive or dead!" (Unless "Susan B." is an awful driver, based on the season finale all seems well for her...for now.)Similarly, The Office's Angela Kinsey, who is seven months pregnant, is also completely in the dark about her own on-screen fate. "We go back to work this week," she said. "Maybe I’ll be standing behind a filing cabinet or the copy machine a lot. I don’t know yet. But, with our great writers, nothing would surprise me!" — Dana Meltzer Zepeda read more
