Wednesday star Jenna Ortega has revealed in a new interview how she “became almost unprofessional” while on set for the hit Netflix series.On the March 6 episode of the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast, Ortega shared that she had gotten involved with the script’s writing while on set for the show, at times even butting heads with the script supervisor because she felt “very, very protective” of her character.“I don’t think I’ve ever had to put my foot down on a set in the way that I had to on Wednesday because it’s so easy to fall into that category, especially with this type of show,” Ortega said of her initial pushback on the script.She would elaborate: “Everything that she does, everything that I had to play, did not make sense for her character at all.
Her being in a love triangle made no sense. There was a line about like, this dress that she has to wear for a school dance and she said, ‘Oh, my God, I love it.
Ugh, I can’t believe I said that. I literally hate myself.’ And I had to go, ‘No, there’s no way.’”“There was times on that set where I even became almost unprofessional, in a sense, where I just started changing lines.
The script supervisor thought that I was going with something, and then I would have to sit down with the writers and they would be like, ‘Wait, what happened to the scene?’ And I would to have to go through and explain why I couldn’t do certain things,” she said.Ortega added: “I grew very, very protective of [Wednesday], but you can’t lead a story and have no emotional arc because then it’s boring and nobody likes you.
