“We look forward to closing out Mary Jane’s journey with a series finale that is sure to blow fans away!” continued Orlando.
“Mary Jane has become my favorite character,” wrote Union on Instagram. “We’ve screwed up together, laughed together, evolved together, and raised hell together. I love all her imperfections, and through playing her I became more forgiving of others who are imperfect and on the journey of self discovery and improvement.”
