When Orange is the New Black returns this June, one original cast member will be missing.
The fate of Jason Biggs' character, Piper's ex Larry Bloom, was up in the air when we left off and Variety confirms that the actor will not be returning for the the third season.

Larry has been a universally hated character from the start, so the news has been met with nothing short of jubilation.
The consensus seems to be that, short of a gruesome death, Larry's quiet sendoff is the best possible thing that could happen to the character.
Jason Biggs won't be back for Season 3 of Orange is the New Black. Great, now I'll have to pause the episode when I want to leave the room.— Neil McNeil (@Neil_McNeil) February 20, 2015

Jason Biggs leaves OITNB: no one cares. Laura Prepon leaves OITNB: The Internet breaks.— Holy cow (@ohwellnopetbh) February 20, 2015
Sometimes I forget that Jason Biggs won't be back on Orange is the New Black, and each time I remember it's like a sweet, precious gift.— Adam Ellis (@moby_dickhead) February 15, 2015
At least Biggs has the satisfaction of being able to say "I told you so."
Maybe he'll get lucky and they'll make a fifth American Pie movie.
