Unrecognizable Transformation: Orange Is The New Black Star Shines in Edinburgh!
ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK ALUMNAE SHOCK: JESSICA WEDGE'S YOUNG SELF EXPOSED AND JULIE LAKE TURNS TO THEATRE - BUT WHO ELSE SHOWED UP IN OITNB?
In a stunning revelation, fans of the hit Netflix series Orange Is The New Black are still reeling from discovering that none other than Sabrina Carpenter, now 25, made an appearance in the show as youngster Jessica Wedge. The former Disney darling popped up in the ninth episode of the first season, titled 'F*sgiving', playing a young version of the character.
But it seems like the surprise didn't end there! In a bizarre twist, fans are also being reminded that another star from the hit series has been keeping under wraps an exciting new venture. Julie Lake, who played the lovable but rough-around-the-edges Angie Rice in the prison laundry room, has traded in her overalls for a more theatrical look.
The talented actress, who won Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series at the Screen Actors Guild Awards not once, but twice (2015 and 2017), is set to star in a new musical called Forget-Me-Not. Alongside songwriter Annie Macleod, Julie will bring this true story of motherhood and lost romances to life on stage.
The Edinburgh Fringe Festival-bound production delves into the complexities of two estranged childhood best friends who reconnect later in life as mothers seeking more creative freedom, adventure, sexual liberation, and a deeper sense of self. The show promises to be an unforgettable experience, and Julie's portrayal is sure to bring even more depth and emotion to the story.
But what's really got fans talking is Julie's dramatic transformation from her OITNB days. Gone are the prison overalls; in their place is a stunning mustard yellow top, styled with tousled waves and blonde highlights. The actress posted a photo of the promotional poster on Instagram, captioning it: "Wildflowers present FORGET-ME-NOT at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Aug 1-9th 11:30AM, Fern Theater @ Greenside."
As fans fawned over the poster, one couldn't help but notice Julie's stunning new look. But amidst all the excitement about her theatre debut, another question still lingers in our minds: who else from OITNB made a secret cameo? It seems like we've only just scratched the surface of the show's many surprises!
And it turns out that fans are still discovering hidden gems within the hit series. A recent TikTok post brought attention to Sabrina Carpenter's brief but memorable appearance as young Jessica Wedge, and viewers are still buzzing about the revelation.
The flashback scene in question shows young Jessica bullying Alex Vause (Laura Prepon) over her trainers - a moment that has left fans stunned. "Doing my annual Orange Is The New Black ewwatch when I come across young Sabrina Carpenter bullying Alex Vause," one user captioned their post, sharing the clip from the show.
But it seems like we're not done with surprises just yet! With Julie's new theatre venture and the ongoing nostalgia for OITNB, one thing is clear: these actresses have a knack for keeping us on our toes. And who knows? Perhaps there are even more secrets waiting to be uncovered within the hit series.
All seasons of Orange Is The New Black are available to stream exclusively on Netflix. So grab your snacks and get ready to binge-watch - but keep an eye out for those hidden cameos!
