Jenna Ortega, a 20-year-old actress, had strong opinions on the writing for Netflix’s Wednesday and had no qualms about altering the script on the spot while filming.

She admitted as much to Dax Shepard on this week’s Armchair Expert podcast: “I don’t think I’ve ever had to put my foot down more on a set in a way that I had to on Wednesday.

Wednesday’s actions, as well as those I had to play, “do not make any sense at all for her character,” claims Ortega. “It made no sense for her to be in a love triangle.”

Mixed reactions followed the comments, however, some fans praised Ortega’s viewpoint. “I truly like Jenna Ortega’s apparent candor on her experience working on Wednesday. Without being held captive by the phrase “I’m just grateful to be here,” you can be thankful for your accomplishments “Podcast host Jordan Crucchiola tweeted. “I hope she stays extremely open about her struggles.”

Yet, not everyone agreed with Ortega’s viewpoint. The aforementioned interview will

Author Michael Sheridan continued, “Yeesh, I can see why her remarks are upsetting some writers now. The way this is written makes it sound like she believes she knew more than the writers and Tim Burton, and that she is the reason the program was successful. That reads like she meant that, but I’m not sure.”

She’s a teenage girl being taught by male writers and male filmmakers about how a young girl might behave, Michelle Dean, co-creator of Hulu’s The Act, pointed out when she took a closer look.

There was one instance when a sentence was totally cut from the script in the Armchair Expert interview. “She exclaimed, “Oh my God, I love it,” in response to a lyric that mentioned the clothing she must wear to a school dance. I absolutely despise myself for saying that; I can’t believe it “Ortega declared. “I had to respond “No.” On that set, there were occasions when I nearly lost all professionalism and just started rearranging lines.”

She also provided an explanation for her frequent modifications. You can’t lead a story and have no emotional journey, Ortega remarked, adding, “I grew very, very protective of her.”

Ortega deactivated her Twitter account shortly after the podcast segment aired. The second season of Wednesday has been picked up. Season 1 is available to stream now on Netflix.
