A popular show on Netflix called “Wednesday” has been in the news for all the wrong reasons lately. It has been said that the show’s producer, Al Gough, has decided to replace actress Jenna Ortega because of her “toxic” behaviour on set.
What is the Wednesday show about?
Before we talk about the drama surrounding the show’s casting, let’s take a closer look at “Wednesday.” The show is a comedy-drama about The Addams Family and their world. Wednesday Addams, who is played by Ortega, goes through high school and solves mysteries using her superpowers.
Absolutely! Again, I can't stress this enough: She's an amazing talent. It was just an unfortunate situation to expose creative differences publicly, and also I'll admit that writers are on edge because of the impending strike, myself included. A perfect storm. https://t.co/hQw6qBseIn

Fans of the Addams Family are looking forward to the new season, and many were happy to see Ortega in the lead role. But it doesn’t look like things went as planned.
What did Jenna Ortega do on the set of Wednesday?
Reports say that the show’s producer, Al Gough, is getting rid of Jenna Ortega because of her “toxic” behaviour on set. Ortega will no longer be on “Wednesday,” according to an email that Gough sent to the show’s cast and crew.
Gough said Ortega was “entitled” and “toxic” in the email, and he said he had no choice but to let her go. “Life is too short to deal with these kinds of people,” he also wrote.

People are surprised by these claims because Ortega has always been known as a hard worker who takes her job seriously. She has been in several successful movies and TV shows, like “Jane the Virgin” and “You,” and critics have praised her work.
How does Jenna Ortega answer?
Jenna Ortega hasn’t said anything in public yet about what Al Gough said. But her fans and other people who like her have taken to social media to say how sad and shocked they are by the news. Many people have also come to Ortega’s defence, saying they can’t believe she could act in such a way.
Remember that these are just rumours and that we don’t know everything about what’s going on. Ortega may have left the show because he didn’t agree with the way it was being made or because of some other problem.
What does this mean for Wednesday?
Since Jenna Ortega is no longer on “Wednesday,” many fans are wondering what will happen to the show. It’s not clear who will play Wednesday Addams’s main role or if that will change when the show comes out.
It’s also not clear how this will affect how the show is made in the future. Ortega was reportedly fired while “Wednesday” was still being filmed, so the show’s plot could be delayed or changed.
What’s left to say?
The entertainment business is complicated and always changing, so situations like this can be hard for everyone involved. It’s important to keep in mind that we don’t know everything about the situation and that there may be more to the story than what has been reported.

No matter what made Jenna Ortega leave “Wednesday,” it’s clear that the show’s producer didn’t like how she acted. It’s a reminder that professionalism and respect are important parts of any good working relationship, and that bad behaviour can have serious consequences.
