I think that role would have singlehandedly revived her career. Provided she did a good job at it. Doubt she's be any good and the show would have never reached the levels that it's at now. I cannot believe that she was truly considered! I can't imagine her doing half the things that Piper does on the show. She can't even kiss Tom Cruise effectively and she was acting in real life!

The creator never says she was "seriously considered," just that she met with her (which, I'm sure she met with a ton of actresses during the casting process). Though I am amused the creator said Katie had "other things to do." When you're a Jack of All Trades, Master of None I don't doubt you're always hustling.

I caught part of Katie's interview on Live this morning. She discussed baking a messy strawberry pie for her sister and how many pairs of jeans she owns. Fascinating stuff.

Lots of viewers complain about Piper now, can you imagine how horrible she'd be is Katie played the role? Joey Potter goes to prison! Makes me appreciate how good Taylor Schilling is at playing this character.

Piper is so annoying to me, she's the reason I haven't even finished watching the first season. I can't imagine Katie could be any worse than Taylor.

FWIW, Piper evolves slightly and then the show moves on to other story lines. I really can't imagine Katie as Piper, or even Brook. Maybe, possibly Polly.

I really don't think Katie could pull it off.

Off topic: is Piper more Piperish in the book? I think show-Piper is excellently portrayed, and as the series goes on, I think she's depicted in the same way as the other, non-Piper inmates: women equipped with agency, somewhat ensnared by circumstances and other people's expectations, although I love how the show depicts her as both clever and utterly unreasonable.
Topic: I am devotee of this site and a formerly active member of Team Pillow, but when I saw the cover of Glamour at the supermarket, my first reaction was, "who??" and it literally took a full ten seconds before it clicked into, "oh yeah...her."

OT: I don't mind Piper. I think the show is really well-balanced, ensemble wise.
Topic: I think Katie is too dull of an actress to have been considered for OitNB. I don't really think she could have played any of the characters well, but feel like snagging the Piper role could have breathed life into her "career" only because it's a great show.
