10 TV Lines Actors Refused To Say
9. Jenna Ortega Wouldn't Freak Out Over A Dress - Wednesday
Jenna Ortega sparked a mild controversy shortly after Wednesday's release when she revealed that she nixed a dialogue exchange from the series' fourth episode, "Woe, What A Night."
In one scene, Wednesday (Ortega) takes a liking to a dress she notices in a window, and so Thing (Victor Dorobantu) later steals it for her. But according to Ortega herself, the original script called for her to say, "Oh my God, I’m freaking out over a dress, I literally hate myself."
Yet the actress strongly felt that this was inconsistent with who Wednesday is as a character - she wouldn't freak out nor would she be vocal about admitting this fact, and so firmly told the writers that she wouldn't be saying the line.
Ortega's steadfast choice proved somewhat divisive online, some praising her for sticking up for the character's integrity, while others felt she was dismissive of the writers' work on the series.
