Blair Brown is happy to be sentenced to a role on ‘Orange’

But it’s hard to quibble when you also get new characters as immediately brilliant as Judy King, the Martha Stewart-esque celebrity chef who entered Litchfield at the end of last season. The preceding season saw her build a unusual underwear empire that smuggles used underwear from inmates to be sold to kinky customers outside the prison.

Set in an Australian prison, “Wentworth” bares many similarities to “OITNB”, including following a woman, timid and scared as she is incarcerated for the first time.

Sentenced to fifteen months for a crime committed in her youth, Piper Chapman leaves her supportive fiance Larry for her new home: a woman’s prison.

As Litchfield is faced with fresh challenges, namely an overwhelming influx of new inmates that push the prison into risky overcrowding – ripe to be managed poorly by the undertrained new prison guards under the jurisdiction of newly appointed Warden Caputo (Nick Sandow) – the tribal tendencies of the women are tested. “The animosity – that’s expected and unexpected”.

NBC, as perplexed by “Molly Dodd” as some viewers, bounced the show from slot to slot for a year. Beginning in 2008, she played Nina on “Fringe”, and last season she appeared in CBS’ “Limitless”.

Several new faces are expected to grace the show this season, faces that would be breathing life to new and interesting characters. I think it’s easier to break a person down when they’re already on edge from their environment, and it seems like they use that to get ratings out of them. What have you learned from working in the medium?

Not to bash “Limitless”, canceled by CBS after one season, “but it is a boy job….”

I Iove acting because I get to observe people, I get to walk in Central Park and watch someone playing with their child and that’s fun for me.

“The little girl in me who dreamt of becoming an actress didn’t foresee this”, says Selenis Leyva (44), who plays Gloria Mendoza. “That was kind of way off”. She’s absolutely loopers but you can’t help but love Morello.

So when season three came along I was giddy with excitement, excitement that quickly dissipated over the course of the run. There is also the whole matter of Prepon appearing in an official promo photo for Season 4 of Orange Is the New Black, so basically, Alex is coming back and all will be right again at Litchfield.

“We start with political agendas, the corporatization of the prison, the stratification of people into their little mosaic groups”, said showrunner Jenji Kohan at the 2016 Winter TCA Press Tour.

In the meantime, we’ll ponder a few other potential eatery concepts inspired by Netflix shows that we’d like to see become a reality: A ‘Master of None’ romantic Italian restaurant, perhaps? That’s pressure enough, and then you’ve got these producers who are trying to portray you in a light that’s not who you are. Fourth time around, Orange Is The New Black is back to its sparky, laugh-out-loud, emotionally-involving best. She is a breakout star on Netflix’s hit series Orange is the New Black as Taystee, in inmate at the Litchfield Penitentiary.
