Ashley Benson has revealed that A is not the same person
as it is in the books. The show wants to “throw its audience off a bit.” They “twisted
it.” When the cast got the script and did the cold reading, finding out who A
was for the first time, “Everyone’s jaw was on the floor,” according to Lucy
Hale. Ian Harding started laughing because he couldn’t believe it. Everyone was
yelling and talking at once. Lucy said, “I think it’ll make people want to go
back and watch the show from the beginning because there are clues and it all
kind of makes sense.”
Supposedly, if you do a series marathon, the clues are
all going to be there. If you re-watch everything from the pilot onward, it
will make sense. Keegan Allen said that the writers did a good job linking
everything and making it realistic and that everyone is shocked at who A is. Shay
Mitchell says that the finale should please fans and that it might be her
favorite episode. Keegan Allen said that the finale opens up lots of possibilities
for the show.
We are excited about this, because we want to be
surprised about who A is, but we also want it to make sense. The best twist is
one where you are shocked, but then you look back at all the clues and wonder
how you could have missed it. We know who A was in the books, and while it is a
good twist that would do the TV series justice, it’s better for everyone that
it’s different.
We are a little nervous that Ian Harding was laughing.
The revelation should not be funny. We hope it was mostly shocked laughter or
laughter in gratitude to the writers for making a twist so good. There is
little chance that we will re-watch both seasons of Pretty Little Liars soon,
because we have so much TV to watch. We hope that we will be able to remember
most of the clues. It would be a shame if the only way to appreciate the
revelation would be to go back and have a series marathon.
Finally, we hope there is another A for season three, or
some other mystery that is equally as good. While the personal lives and dramas
of the girls are fine and interesting, they are not enough to carry a whole
show, in our opinions.
Thanks for posting this! It got me even more excited :) Now I'll definitely rewatch the two seasons after we find out who A is. I thought it would be Jenna (with the help of Garrett) because it makes sense and I think at the end of episode 2 or 3 of season 1, there was a scene where she was on the phone telling someone to send a text. That was kind of a clue. But then again Jenna is too obvious to be A. So I really don't know. Who do you think is A?
ReplyDeleteNo idea, at this point. The best thing would be if it were someone we solidly thought was good. When you re-watch and see any clues we didn't, let us know.
DeleteI am happy they are finally going to tell us. It has to be a character we know without being too obvious. Not one of the 4 girls or their love interests. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteI didn't read the books, who was A in them?
In the books, Alison had a twin sister no one knew about and Alison wasn't dead. Her twin was. The show teased us with this in the Halloween episode by having Alison tell a story of twins.
DeleteActually, in the book, the first A was Mona, the second A was some random guy that was arrested for killing Alison, and then it was Ali's twin sister.
DeleteHonestly, I'm not surprised that there will have been "clues" leading to this person; I feel like they've hinted at a lot of the characters being A, so they kind of covered their bases.
YAY, I can't wait to find out who A is.
ReplyDeleteAlso...have you seen Jane By Design??
iwanna know so badly but i dont want the show to end i think it might be caleb ali or emilys friend paige
