Jenna Ortega speaks out about Wednesday’s writers
As everyone prepares for the impending season, leading actress Jenna Ortega has recently spoken out about her (surprising) distaste for the script. Jenna, who appeared on actor Dax Sheppard’s podcast, Armchair Expert, revealed that she often felt the need to skip over and change lines due to their lack of suitability to the character.
“I don’t think I’ve ever put my foot down on a set in a way that I had to on Wednesday,” she said.
“There [were] times on that set where I became almost unprofessional in a sense where I just started changing lines. The script supervisor thought I was going with something and then I would have to sit down with the writers at the end of a scene and I had to go and explain why I couldn’t do certain things.”
After the podcast’s release, it has been revealed that Ortega will now executive produce the second season.
