'Orange Is the New Black' star Dascha Polanco (SheIsDash) reveals series finale fate OITNB
in 2012. How did the role of Daya exceed your expectations?
At first I was also like, "This is a love story. This is so cute." Then, after stepping out of it, you realize we are in a prison and this is not allowed. This is abuse of power. But we can't pretend that it doesn’t happen. I met a woman who had a relationship with a guard while she was incarcerated. She remembers that he fell so in love with her that he would still write her when he wasn’t there and outside, when she was released, they stayed in touch. He fell in love with her.
I had no idea if I was going to come back or not [after season five]. I didn’t even know what to say for interviews. I was waiting and waiting to get that call saying, “You’re back. Don’t worry.” I did not know that was going to be the last thing you would see of Daya for the season. I was waiting for reassurance, but when you have such a large cast, there’s a lot going on and it’s more about how everything is going to move. I think their concentration was on the bigger picture.
Daya is facing life in prison. She developed a dependence on drugs to get by, but she takes things up a notch this season when she takes over Litchfield's drug trade. First, she killed girlfriend Daddy and in the end, she sets up her own mother and puts her siblings in jeopardy. When you see how far she has fallen in Litchfield, have you reconciled with how Daya’s story ends?
