Is Laura Prepon Leaving 'Orange Is The New Black'?
After a critically-acclaimed freshman season, you'd think that the stars of Netflix's "Orange Is the New Black" would be settling in for the long haul. But that's apparently not the case for all of the show's actresses, with Buzzfeed reporting that Laura Prepon will not be a regular in Season 2, according to unnamed sources close to the show.
Netflix denied the story, telling HuffPost TV that rumors of Prepon's exit are "not accurate. Our season is still developing and nothing is confirmed."
According to Buzzfeed, Prepon would reportedly return to tie up her storyline as Alex next season before leaving the prison-set series, with an option to return in future episodes. While it's logical for a show set in a prison to see some cast turnover as inmates are released and new convicts are incarcerated, Prepon's tumultuous relationship with Taylor Schilling's Piper is one of the central points of the series.
