The cast of "Orphan Black" made their way to PaleyFest last Sunday to attend the show's panel. Stars, Tatiana Maslany, Jordan Gavaris, Kristian Bruun and Maria Doyle Kennedy joined executive producer, Graeme Manson, to talk about the show's hiatus and hints about the upcoming fouth season.

"Orphan Black's" main star, Maslany, who is constantly praised for her dynamic portrayal of multiple clones each episode, had this to say about her involvement in the show, "What I love about it is just the capacity of any human being to be multiple versions of themselves. The complexity is what differentiates us and connects us."

During the panel, most of the viewers were dying to find out the fate of Delphine, Cosima's lover who was shot during the final moments of season three.

In earlier interviews, Manson had always hinted that Delphine may have not survived however, during the panel, Manson teased, "Where'd she get hit, the liver? It looked like that's not necessarily fatal..."

With this revelation, it seems that there is still hope for Delphine's survival. Ultimately, Manson refused to give any specific details away. Instead, he said, "we need the story to drive itself and we need to stay true to that." Viewers will have to wait for the season four premiere to find out Delphine's fate.

While Manson also toyed with the idea of getting a new love interest for Cosima, Maslany responded by saying, "What I'm also interested with Cosima is just outside of relationships, who is she? Because we've always seen her romantically linked with somebody... I'm interested in that because it is a thing, that often women are paired with somebody and that's how we define them."

Maslany, who was wearing a "Strong Female Character" t-shirt gifted by a fan, revealed that the show has taught her a lot about women's rights. She praised the show for being able to tackle current issues like reproductive rights, transgender rights and LGBT rights.

"I'm glad we get to reflect that," she said.

Season four of "Orphan Black" returns to BBC America sometime in 2016.
