[edit] "Kristine Pace" debate

The following is copied from the talk pages of myself and Magioladitis:

I had to revert your edit to List of Prison Break minor characters about Kellerman's sister surname for two reasons: a) IMDB is not a trustful database and b) I didn't find any entry about Kristine in there. -- Magioladitis 23:55, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

That is certainly a fair point you raise about the Imdb, so I would think better of citing it. However, the page you linked was merely the "series cast and crew," which only lists actors that are credited as being in 2 or more episodes. You'll also notice no listing for "Kristine Kellerman" on that page either. TV.com also lists Tina Holmes as playing "Kristine Pace". Granted, it also has some user-created content, but in my experience, the credits tend to be more accurate than the Imdb with regard to recently aired episodes. Would this be justifiable as a secondary source? Thanks for the input. -Juansmith 06:01, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I think you are right although I checked and I think TV.com is also a non-reliable source. I checked the official Prison Break board and her surname is certainly Pace. I believe you've done an excellent work with this! -- Magioladitis 00:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi. The character was originally listed as "Kristine Pace" but later in the episode, "Fin Del Camino", in the scene where Paul Kellerman is about to commit suicide, he writes her name down as "Kristine Kellerman". I think we should follow the name mentioned in the episode itself. What Prison Break board are you referring to? Do you mean the forum? By the way, there was a similar change of name for "Jane Phillips", who was actually credited as "Jane Barrow" in an earlier episode. Regards, Ladida 10:20, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi. First of all i want to comment that I haven't watched the two last episodes yet. It seems the thing with Kellerman's sister last name to be more complicated than I believed. Well, the steps i did were the following:
  • I checked the boards of the official page and everybody calls her "Pace".
  • I checked the 2 official press releases at the Futon Critic from both episodes she appears and the name was again "Pace". Especially, check here for the official press release of her last appearance.
If i may guess something is that Kristine Kellerman was married and changed her last name to Pace. In fact I have no problem to be stated either as Pace or Kellerman. I think if in the series she was never mentioned as "Pace" and you say that she was mentioned once as "Kellerman" is better to have her with the latter name. I ll not attempt any other edit to the name until the thing is completely cleared. (Wow! I wrote many things finally!) -- Magioladitis 11:16, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

The press releases are kind of dodgy with names like spelling Sara as "Sarah". I noticed that "Pace" was used in the press releases and in TV Guide which gets its info from press releases. That was the reason I added the character with that name prior to the episode "Fin Del Camino". Her last name was never spoken out loud but Paul Kellerman later wrote it down so ... I don't know ... Thanks for your reply, by the way. :) Ladida 14:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Ladida - I just checked my recording of "Fin del Camino", and you're correct. He writes her name down on the envelope as Kristine Kellerman. Good call. Her name may very well be Kristine Pace (which would mean that for some reason he referred to her by her maiden name), but I'd say we have no official basis by which to confirm that. -Juansmith 17:08, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

(end of copied discussion)

It makes sense if you look at it this way. Her name is Kristine Pace becuase she's married. Paul hasn't seen her in fifteen years, so he would never have known that she was married, much less know her new last name. So, when he wrote that note, he had to go by the name he knew her as fifteen years prior: Kristine Kellerman. Still, the note is more reliable than the credits, so I stay stick with Kellerman. --4.247.131.92 18:41, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
She's married? -- Ladida 01:02, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
I think I recall allusions to that effect, but I don't think we never saw her husband. -Juansmith 08:05, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, my husband explanation is pure speculation, which is why I say stick with Kellerman. --4.247.128.60 16:29, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pam Mahone

Shouldn't Pam Mahone, the wife of Alex Mahone, be mentioned in the article? I haven't seen the entire series yet, therefore can't write a conclusive summary, but someone should, unless there's a good reason not to. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 21:53, 17 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Merging some articles

I think Hector Avila, Samantha Brinker and Pad Man, Aldo Burrows all should be merged into here. The characters didn't have a big participation, articles contain only in-universe unreferenced data. - Magioladitis (talk) 20:59, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Various editors helped and all four articles are merged now. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:10, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
