Lorraine Toussaint Not Returning to ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK

It looks like Vee won't be back to Litchfield, after all.

Despite TMZ's report this morning that Lorraine Toussaint was on set for the third season of Netflix's ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK, Entertaintment Weekly has confirmed that the actress will not be reprising her role, following the character's fate on the season two finale.

As EW puts it: "Viewers last saw Vee being slammed by a van driven by Miss Rosa (Barbara Rosenblat), Mean Girls-style, after escaping from the Litchfield Correctional Facility through the underground drain system.
