The actress, who plays the Suzanne ''Crazy Eyes'' Warren in the popular series tells HuffPost Live on August 13 that she doesn't know whether or not we'll see her character in a steamy, same-sex love scene moving forward but 'never say never.'

After the trailer of the thrid season suggested that things are heating up for Suzanne with a new prospective love interest, who happens to be another female, the Emmy Award winner says:

''If I say yes, that reveals a lot... I think it depends on how it's done. I'm always open to the right thing."

Meanwhile, Aduba recently won the role of Glinda in NBC's forthcoming live broadcast of "The Wiz," reportedly beating out Beyoncé for the part. She spoke about the challenge of following in the footsteps of Broadway's original Glinda, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Lena Horne, who played the role in the 1978 movie adaptation of the musical.
