Could this show go on without piper?


It's probably been discussed but do you think they would continue it without Piper ? her sentence wasn't that long And will be up sometime soon ,unless they make it fully fictional and she gets a harsh extension. I think it really could go on without her not that I don't like her but almost everyone else are just as interesting or more so for that matter

they introduced her as intellegent and in no time at all turned her into a complete idiot so its only a matter of time before she gets caught doing something insanely stupid and getting 5 years tacked onto her sentence

at this point i would be surprised if she ever got out. hell only reason she hasnt been shived yet is cause shes a mary sue and thus completely unkillable

Her character is long overdue to be written out, IMO.

reply

I wish it would.
I really don't enjoy watching her storyline anymore.

reply

Piper should be written out of the show at the end of season 5. Lyonne would make a better leading lady, IMO.

reply

Piper shouldent even be on the show. she is so boring. I watch the show cause i like all the other ladys. Yes i know its based on her life whatever. but who cares about piper

English is my third language SO DONT BE A WISEGUY ALSO TACO TACO BURRITO BURRITO

Piper is the character that I started watching for and when the character leaves I think it's time to call it quits.

I don't even recognize the characters from the first few seasons as they've changed so dramatically.

Yeh it probably could but I hope not.. I love Piper. The character as we all know is a selfish bitch that we all dislike but I just find her funny to watch.. she keeps doing the same thing bad things wrong and to be honest it's very relatable as a lot of people I know continue to do the same bad things over and over. I also love the actress who plays Piper.. underrated I think because of people's hatred for the character. She pulls off being annoying, funny, angry.. and her emotional scenes are always top notch.

reply

Yeah, I pretty much feel the same way about Piper. She is just not that interesting to me anymore, especially in light of the character development of so many of the other women.

reply

She won't leave. It's her story. Piper Kerman wrote the best selling book.

reply

Correct. It started with Piper, it ends with her.

reply

Nah , it can easily carry on without her. i have never seen anything more "loosley based" on real events. Her name and crime - thats about it. They could easily carry on without her. Although there is nothing on the net about them doing so , so i think they've called it quits.

reply

Could it continue? Absolutely. But because it’s inspired by events in Piper Kerman’s life, and that’s what sold Netflix on the idea, I doubt they ever even considered the idea.
