Laura Prepon has gotten fantastic reviews for her portrayal of Alex in Orange Is the New Black — but she will not be a series regular in Season 2, according to sources close to the show.
Prepon will come back for a limited number of episodes in the show’s 13-episode second season in order to resolve her story. And the door will be left often for her to return in the future. But the actress did not sign a contract tying her to the show for the upcoming season.
Fans will likely be disappointed not to see a years-long arc play out between Alex and Piper (Taylor Schilling); their troubled past relationship resulted in Piper’s imprisonment, the main plot of the show. And their (sexual) dynamic, given the fraught circumstances, has been one of the first season’s most thrilling threads.

Their storyline is great. Sucks that she's no longer a regular.

I hated Alex, so this doesn't bother me. If Tastee wasn't coming back as a regular I'd flip shite though.

Yep. Maybe Piper won't be such a selfish unlikable a-hole now

This is actually probably a good thing. She wasn't even present in the book, and it made a lot more for the main character to hate her the whole time.

This is a good thing. Her acting chops (or lack thereof) sucked the life out of most of the scenes she was in.

I like the show. Didn't really care for Prepon.

Can someone answer this?

How long has she been in prison at the conclusion of season 1? It seems like quite a bit of time passed, but she was only incarcerated for like 17 months IRL, so how are they gonna get more than a few seasons out of this story if a significant amount oftime has passed?

Has anyone else read the book?

The show definitely made up so much. A lot of it is based on the book, but Piper and Pennsatucky were cool, Red is called "Pop" and never starved her.
I was kind of bored by it, finished it in two flights.

I knocked out the show in three days. Wanted to discuss it a few weeks back, but I just got unbanned yesterday.
