Piper faces many challenges as she tries to meet the demands of her parole officer, secure a job as a felon and reassimilate to the life she once knew. Those lifelines to the outside world are essential.” (Kerman and the real Larry Smith also made a cameo in the visitation scene.)īy tracking Piper’s return to society, OITNB was able to highlight the parallels of recidivism and reentry when juxtaposing Piper’s inherent privilege against the plights of other released inmates like Aleida Diaz (Elizabeth Rodriguez) and, later in the season, Cindy. “That’s something you will see in every single prison visiting room in this country - some version of love, whether it’s romantic or friendship or family. But the happy ending for OITNB‘s Piper and Alex is a “tribute to all of the prison families who fight to stay connected to their loved ones who are behind bars,” Kerman tells THR of the core relationship, which was groundbreaking in its authentic same-sex portrayal when the show launched in 2013.
Piper Kerman, whose book Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison inspired the series and who continues to serve as an executive consultant on the show, points out that her true story has diverged wildly from the Piper Chapman viewers have been following for seven seasons. It was the right thing to do.” Jason Biggs, who returned for a pivotal scene as Larry Bloom (who is expecting a baby with Polly, played by Maria Dizzia), adds to THR: “It felt good and happy and positive and like the way to end it. When I left after season two, I didn’t have much closure. So to be able to come back and have this final moment with Taylor was wonderful.” I wasn’t sure if they were going to go the ultra-realistic route and keep them apart, or if they were going to give that to the fans and to have Alex and Piper be together, and luckily they did.
“Because we do a lot of things that are realistic, a lot of times it’s not a happy ending.
“We were happy that it ended with them being together,” Prepon tells THR.
