In other Orange is the New Black Season 3 news, recurring actress Dascha Polanco has been promoted to series regular status. Polanco plays the pregnant inmate Daya, whose interactions with her secret baby's father (and prison guard) John Bennett (Matt McGorry) have been the source of much drama over the first two seasons.
Additionally, Laura Prepon, who plays Alex Vause on the show, has announced that she will be back for every episode of Season 3.
