Jenna Ortega prefers horror over romance
WednesdaySeason 1 presented lots of thrills and chills withJenna Ortega’scharacter at the centre of not only a gruesome murder mystery but also a love triangle. The actor admitted though, that it was the horror scenes that excited her more than the romantic angle of the series. Speaking about the possibilities for the character in Season 2, she said,
“I think we want to up the horror aspect a little bit and then get Wednesday out of the romantic situation, let her be her own individual and fight her own crimes,”
While many fans andAddams Familybuffs have enjoyed and appreciated the storyline involving Wednesday and her two love interests Xavier and Tyler, Jenna Ortega confessed that the love triangle did not appeal to her, considering how her character was written. In a recent appearance on Dax Shepard’s podcast, the actor said,
“Her being in a love triangle made no sense… There were times on that set where I even became unprofessional in a sense where I just started changing lines”
The actor also added that her improvisations on set would puzzle the script writers as she would deviate regularly from the dialogues.
