Ortegatold PEOPLEthat she expects a lot of surprises in season 3.
“The writers are so good at throwing in twists and turns,” she said. “If I were to come back, I don’t know if I would come back initially, in the first couple episodes … I want Ellie to pressure Joe and stress him out a little bit because he is such a terrible person! As much as people love him, he deserves that pressure, he deserves to feel in trouble.”
