During Season 4 of “Orange is the New Black,” Sam Healy developed a strong friendship with Lolly Whitehill, played by Lori Petty.
Their friendship has gone beyond to Sam being more than just a counselor at the Litchfield Penitentiary. It could be recalled that Lolly was sent to the psychiatric ward during Season 4 and fans are expecting that she would get out of it with Sam’s help.
When Harney confirmed his character’s return for Season 5, it was also as good as saying that Lolly Whitehill would also be around when the top-rating TV series returns to Netflix in June of next year.
In an interview with Lori Petty, she recalled that while shooting the psychiatric ward scene, she did some looping and she saw that it looked great.
Then she realized that the production team built a huge hallway with rooms and a whole new set.
She believes that her stay in the ward will be included in the storylines but she is not really sure how it is going to be for Season 5. She is just expressing her wishful thoughts and would like to be given the opportunity to play the Lolly Whitehill role again.
