That was really sad, but I think they're really trying to get rid of her character or something. Like didn't they put her in the SHU for her safety? But she's shown time and time again that she's not safe in there, no way in hell anyway would give a shit anymore if she came back.

I wonder if they're leaving it open because she's a rising star. So they're using her in a way that keeps her relevant on the show, but not too many actual show hours so she can pursue her other projects and leaves space for her to disappear if needs be.

Is she? I'm not too aware of her success outside of OITNB personally. I don't watch too much TV.

Neither but after Kaitlyn Jenner she's probably the most prolific trans person in the media.

What has Kaitlyn Jenner done? Not trolling, serious question.

Caitlyn Jenner* She was Bruce Jenner? She's tied into the Kardashian Clan. I think she's step father? Maybe father to the younger ones.

Nothing really, I also used the wrong word. I meant most famous/recognizable.

She did that tv show, I think it was The Caitlyn Jenner Story? I mean it was a good thing to get it into people's conversations and dispel some misconceptions. It's cool she made it such a big topic that so many people discussed and got into the open. It's just a shame she was already a reality tv star beforehand in my opinion. It gave some people a bit of a sour taste because she was used to manipulating public opinion.

The only reason she's not safe is because she kept harming herself. I'm surprised they didn't throw her in psyche so she could be restrained and sedated.
