Audiences fell in love with Prepon in the first season of the Netflix original show: she played Alex, former lover of protagonist Piper (Taylor Schilling) who lands Piper in jail by asking her to smuggle drugs. [Fans complained](http://www.buzzfeed.com/kateaurthur/laura-prepon-will-return-for-only-one-episode-of-orange-is-t) last summer when Prepon revealed that she would be making only a few appearances in season 2. But the _That 70s Show_ actress will be back in full force for season three. “It sucked because \[show creator\] Jenji Kohan and I wanted me to be in it more, but with the schedule, it didn’t happen,” Prepon told _Us Weekly_ at the Critics’ Choice awards. “I was so bummed out. But I handled it, so I’m in every \[episode\] in season three. It is so good.” \[[_Us Weekly_](http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/news/laura-prepon-mila-kunis-ashton-kutchers-baby-news-is-so-awesome-2014226)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2911788/orange-is-the-new-black-laura-prepon/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2911788/orange-is-the-new-black-laura-prepon/"},"headline":"Laura Prepon Will Be in Every Orange Is The New Black Episode Next Season","datePublished":"2014-06-23T14:55:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T08:34:04.040Z","description":"Her character Alex only appeared in four episodes this season","url":"https://time.com/2911788/orange-is-the-new-black-laura-prepon/","keywords":["Television","Orange Is the New Black"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt77d468146b2750b8/69868deff983e7244104da83/laura-prepon-orange-is-the-new-black-season-31.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt77d468146b2750b8/69868deff983e7244104da83/laura-prepon-orange-is-the-new-black-season-31.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Laura Prepon orange is the new black season 3","caption":"Laura Prepon orange is the new black season 3","creditText":"Jill Greenberg—Netflix","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2911788/orange-is-the-new-black-laura-prepon/","name":"Laura Prepon Will Be in Every Orange Is The New Black Episode Next Season"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Orange Is The New Black, Season 2 Trailer","description":"Orange Is The New Black, Season 2 Trailer","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/OXesir0K/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-06-10T17:11:42.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/OXesir0K.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/2911788/orange-is-the-new-black-laura-prepon/","duration":"PT1M58S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/2911788/orange-is-the-new-black-laura-prepon/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
