Zap2it: We were so bummed out that Mona died last night.
Janel Parrish: Don't be too bummed, she'll be back. She's going to be back in a different capacity. She's the new flashback girl, which I'm actually really excited about. I think fans will love it too. I know it's sad to see her go as an alive character, but she'll still be haunting Rosewood a little bit in some flashbacks and I think it's going to be really great to get some backstory on her. The aftermath in Mona's house made it look like quite the fight took place.
Will we ever get to see Mona's death scene in flashbacks?
You will see a little bit more of what happened, yes. I will say that she went down with a fight, which is great. I love that fight in her, I wouldn't have wanted her to go out any other way. So you've started filming flashbacks?
Yeah, we film continuously from March through November, so yes, I've filmed more since my death. Like I said, I'm going to be in the Christmas special as the ghost of Christmas past, present and future, and in the second half of the season there will be more Mona flashbacks.
Finally, what can you tease about Season 5b?
There are two focuses -- definitely Mona's murder, but also who killed Bethany and what is up with Alison. Is she really the socio that they think she is? Did she kill Mona? Where is Mona's body? It's going to be very mysterious, all about murder, very dark. It's going to be amazing. ...
Season 5b is all about the mystery of Alison and finding out who she is and what she's done. Would she really murder Mona? Would she really murder Bethany? Why would she do these things? Who did it, if not her? Where is Mona's body? It's a mishmash of mysteries that all seem to be circling Alison.
