"Her being in a love triangle? It made no sense," she explained."There was a line about a dress she has to wear for a school dance and she says, 'Oh my god I love it. Ugh, I can't believe I said that. I literally hate myself.' I had to go, 'No.' There were times on that set where I even became almost unprofessional in a sense where I just started changing lines.
According to the"Scream VI" actress, there were times the script supervisor believed she was working with her given script until she sat down with writers and they questioned her edits. "They'd be like, 'Wait, what happened to the scene?' And I'd have to go and explain why I couldn’t go do certain things," Ortega continued.
"I grew very, very protective of her," she said, explaining she wanted to play a more three dimensional Wednesday."You can't lead a story and have no emotional arc because then it's boring and nobody likes you. When you are little and say very morbid, offensive stuff, it's funny and endearing. But then you become a teenager and it’s nasty and you know it. There’s less of an excuse.
