Speaking to Bustle, actress Samira Wiley admitted that her character, fan-favorite Poussey Washington, had been quite lonely throughout the past seasons and that she is hoping that she may find love in season 4. Given how season 3 ended, there may be hope for this to actually happen.
In the season 3 finale, Poussey and Soso (Kimiko Glenn) held hands in the water, indicating that they may have something going on, something that could blossom in season 4. They already had a budding relationship throughout season 3 since Poussey discovered Soso overdosed on pills.
Poussey's struggle with alcohol and Soso's OD incident might be the thread that ties them together. Wiley even told the media outlet that they both suffer from loneliness and the self-destructive behavior that oddly brings them together.
The likelihood of the two getting together in season 4 may be strained a little bit by the introduction of new prisoners. It is possible that several new inmates might get in between the two but Wiley has high hopes for the budding relationship.
"Well, I hope there's a potential romance going on between Poussey and someone," the actress told Bustle. "I'm not sure exactly who that person is or if that will be a thing, but I'm definitely in the corner of wanting her to find some love."
Sosa and Poussey both want the same thing: intimacy and steady companionship, things Taystee (Danielle Brooks) can't seem to grasp. They both understand what each other wants and they know their limitations. Season 4 has a high chance of them actually having a real relationship.
The report says that this relationship may even outshine that of Alex and Piper (Laura Prepon and Taylor Schilling). Whether this becomes true or not will be unveiled when "Orange Is the New Black" season 4 premieres in 2016.
