The ‘Wednesday star played Tara Carpenter in the film franchise and was quick to become one of the crowd-favorite characters. Ortega herself loved playing that role and had talked about how much she loved the franchise as a kid. “I have so much love for it, she said, talking to MTV.

She also talked about what she had learned on the set of the film: “Something I learned is the importance of chemistry. The entire cast got along so well that when it came to actually working together, things flowed really naturally. Then seeing the original cast work was a great learning experience to watch them just flip into these characters they’ve played for 25 years just like that.”

She had made it pretty clear that it was her dream role. In another interview, she said, “It’s crazy! It’s weird too, because when I first started, I said I always wanted to do horror, so this is a huge dream come true. I don’t even think there are words in the English language to correctly express how happy, excited and nervous I am for this journey. It’s just so amazing to me.”

Why then, is she leaving the franchise?
