'Orange Is the New Black' star Taryn Manning on her 'fragile' final season OITNB
character., creator Jenji Kohan and executive producer Tara Herrman called their main cast to tell them the scope of their season seven story. This was the first time the actors had a sense of how the season would end at the start of filming and the ending would also couple as the character's final sendoff.
Well, I would find out later that they had been auditioning many, many girls. And that's because I would be walking down the street in New York after it came out and a random girl would come up to me to tell me she tried to get the role. But I had no idea they had this whole run before I got the offer. So I got the offer and, oh my goodness gracious, what a person to play. Netflix was new at the time so it was kind of a leap of faith. But Jenji Kohan had done, which I had loved.
Her ending drives home the point that, of all the characters, she might have changed the most while at Litchfield. Jenji Kohan and executive producer Tara Herrmannto tell you season seven would be the end and they filled you in on your arc. How did that conversation go? The final scene plays out a little differently that it sounds like it was first explained. But we do see her excel and then, in a moment of frustration, walk up to snort a line of fentanyl. She had just thought that she failed her GED exam. Can you go inside her head: was it on purpose or an accident?
Pennsatucky would be good on the outside. People were starting to see that she might make it. That's why they took out Poussey, because not everybody can make it after you're in that system. And that's why it's a little more devastating because Pennsatucky was actually getting better because of jail, which is rare in and of itself. You’re right about that. That's what they said to me: She is so loved and adored now that we have to kill her off.
