Yahoo News Why Wednesday's Jenna Ortega wouldn't say one specific line
Wednesday spoilers follow.
TV shows and films are hugely collaborative productions, and sometimes that involves an actor following their instincts and refusing to say a line that has been written for them.
In a good recent example, Wednesday's Jenna Ortega has revealed that she put her foot down over a certain piece of dialogue.
During a Q&A that has been widely shared in a TikTok clip, Ortega explained that: "I remember there’s a line where I’m talking about a dress and initially she was supposed to say: 'Oh my God I’m freaking out over a dress, I literally hate myself.'

Speaking to us about the potential follow-up season, Principal Weems actress Gwendoline Christie teased that she might be back, even though it looked like her character died at the end.

Wednesday is currently streaming on Netflix.
