TV shows and series of today have a common practice of killing off major characters that will shock the audience. "Orange is the New Black" is just one of those series and if reports are true, season 5 could see the death of another important character. Samira Wiley's Poussey's death in the penultimate episode of season 4 took fans by surprise. Now, rumor has it that Taylor Schilling's Piper will be one of the characters likely to say goodbye in the upcoming "Orange is the New Black" Season 5.
It is widely believed that "Orange is the New Black" Season 5 will once again axe one of its lead characters. Word has it that fans will soon see Piper meet her demise, as noted by Parent Herald. However, it would seem impossible for the show to get rid of one of the strongest and most prominent characters in the series. Then again, Poussey was an important character but she also ended up dead and this only tells the audience that anyone in the show could go away anytime.
Meanwhile, "Orange is the New Black" Season 5 is also expected to focus more on Dascha Polanco's Dayanara Diaz, Yibada reported. At the end of season 4 of the prison-themed Netflix series, Daya managed to get Humphrey's (Michael Torpey) gun and aimed it at the correctional officer. It remains to be seen what Daya will really do but speaking in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Polanco shared what she thought about her character.
"Dayanara's in a place where the boiling point has tipped over. Where it's like, "F- everyone. I'm tired, I'm frustrated and I don't know what the hell to do," Polanco shared to THR. When asked if the single mom would pull the trigger, the actress replied, "Yes," but Daya could also pull back when she starts thinking about her and her child's future. Will Daya really put herself in more trouble than ever and will Piper be the one to die next as rumored? Find out in "Orange is the New Black" Season 5, which will premiere sometime in 2017.
