OITNB-Leanne's backstory

[Anonymous]

I don't know if this was answered in her backstory episode. What exactly landed her in prison? So, I assume that to get out of jail time she sold out her friends, and then was shunned by the amish community and leaves. Is it just assumed that she got into meth and was arrested later on some drug charge?

Yep

I liked her backstory. It made her character much more likeable.

that's what i assumed too. left so her family wouldn't be shunned for her actions. then got back in w/the meth crowd.

I love how before we get her backstory in an earlier episode she responds to something Poussey says in German in German herself. It's such a quick throwaway moment but you don't get the explanation for it until you see the Amish episode.

I thought that was a great, layered way to bring in her backstory.

Good catch! Do you remember when that was/context? I'm sure when I saw it I probably just assumed she had taken German in high school or something.

A different question. What was the back story on Stella (was that her name??) the australian girl? maye I wasn't paynig attention but she seemed to just show up one day in the epsidoe where they all got jobs in the sewing factory. Too random. I didn't like her too much.

I think Piper is the least likeable character.

I am not finished with Season 3 yet (episode 12 and 13 left) but I don't think we have a backstory on Stella.

I like season 3 for the backstories but it felt a little lackluster compared to season 2 and the Vee storyline.

I still don't like her character at all, but her backstory was interesting and explained a lot.

I don't like her character either. She was so mean to So-So (sp?). In fact, even though So-So's character was initially so annoying, the last episode, after she overdosed, was heartbreaking. You can just feel her hopelessness.
