lorna's backstory orange is the new black
Lorna Morello In her fictional backstory, Morello grew up in Boston, after her Brooklyn mother married an Italian Bostonian man.[4] Morello's home life was shown in the fourth episode of the second season. Morello's mother needed constant care, as she was ill, while her father and brother just sat around the house watching the television.[7] Morello escaped by going to the movies and committing mail fraud by purchasing designer clothing online, then claiming she never received the items to get a refund.[7] Her bedroom walls were shown to be covered in posters and collages, which prompted Eliza Berman from Slate to note that Morello had created a "teenaged refuge" and that she was "stuck in adolescence".[7] Morello received a 34-month sentence for her crime, the nature of which was not initially revealed. It also emerged that Morello had a fiancÃ©, Christopher, on the outside and she was "a hopeless romantic".[7] Morello was the first inmate Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling) met at Litchfield, as she was the prison's transport driver. Stone told Seanna Cronin from The Toowoomba Chronicle that Morello's role in the prison was to welcome new inmates and show them around.[8] Stone said Morello was a positive person and "a really vulnerable human being", who was dealing with her situation the best she could.[8] She also described Morello as being "pretty bold sometimes, and weirdly opinionated."[9]
