Great news, guessing she will have the baby next season and the fall out from that should be interesting yet sad
ReplyDeleteHopefull she will have the baby and that storyline can hurry up and end. It's not a bad storyline, but it is the weakest in my opinion. But still, she was my favourite character back at the start of season one and I'm happy that we will see more of her.
ReplyDeleteHope the 3rd season is better than the second. The first season was great.
ReplyDeleteYea I really enjoyed her early on but the story got so repetitive and dragged on that I began to lose interest. Should be exciting to see what happens with the baby once she gives birth though, but I guess with Piper's sentence at 15 months they sort of need to slow that stuff down. I'd like to see some more backstory on Daya's mom
ReplyDeleteSam Riley also upped to regular if anyone didn't know yet.
ReplyDeleteFirst Samira Wiley and now Dascha? Amazing news.
ReplyDeleteWhat was wrong with the second one?
ReplyDeleteGood.
ReplyDeleteI only hope they'll make her interact more with the other characters. She's kind of "stuck" in the Bennett/baby storyline and I think it would be great to see more of her character apart from that.
Too much about a the other prisoners and not enough about Piper. I just wasn't interested.
ReplyDeleteI really like her. I hoped she would clash a bit more with her mom in S2. Doubt she will et her baby by end of next season time is passing to slow in prison.
ReplyDeleteThe real Piper went on to work within the system, she serves on the board of the Women's Prison Association. I assume that in future seasons after her sentence is done that they will follow a similar path with the show character. That was definitely the direction they were taking her in in S2.
ReplyDeleteI agree, i binge watched the whole season in one day & kept wondering when the Piper stuff was going to happen. They spent way too much screen time on V & Taystee. I also didn't enjoy S2 as much because it went way too dark with very little comedic relief, I missed the quirky weirdness of all the characters, they were all angry & aggressive this season.
ReplyDeleteWell put Christina--exactly right.
ReplyDeletethe only people I wanted to see was Piper...Sophia...Red...Crazy eyes..and Vee.... who's dead now I guess... after getting run over..
ReplyDeleteI was however a bit disappointed at Lorraine Toussaint's charater Vee... I was hoping for more....
I liked the little asian girl, Brook, I think. Some of the others are interesting characters but I'm not interested in their back stories. Didn't really like Vee. Got a little confusing for me with some of the flash backs.
ReplyDeleteMost of the actresses who get 'upped to regular' status on this show I assume are already regulars. This is no exception.
ReplyDeleteYael Stone as Lorna Morello next please.
