Pretty Little Liars - Who Is A/Charles? - Discussion Post

21 Jun 2015

Share on Reddit


After many years, A is finally going to be revealed to us. But before the revelation this August, theirs still many unanswered questions.

Who do you think Charles is?
What do you think his motive is?
When do you think his game began?
Where did it all begin?
Why is it even happening?
Bonus Question: Who else do you think is involved?

We at SpoilerTV would love to see your theories before the reveal. Afterwards we'll bump this post back up to see if anyone got it correct and for post mid-season discussion.

To get discussion going, we've added a poll with some of the more common names that are popping up in theories.

24 comments:

  1. My Predictions-
    1.Identity-Jason's non-identical Twin.
    2.Motive-He was given away in an adoption for some unknown reason.I his mind,Alison took his place in his family.That's why he tried to kill Alison & Jessica tried to cover it up.His obsession got transferred to the girls coz Alison was intimately related with all of them.
    3.It began as a budding rage,anger,hatred & a sense of betrayal from his very childhood-Gradually turned into obsessive paranoia with time.
    4.Andrew is involved as an infiltrator to the girl's team.I also think Wren is involved somehow.

  5. 1.No clue
    2. No clue
    3. No clue
    4. No clue
    Bonus Q: No clue.
    Atm I'm so confused to know what is really going on there. Who is who and what is who etc etc.
    My only guess is that if Charles was a twin he was pretty pissed and had angry issues, maybe even tried to kill little Alison.

  6. Jason is crazy/bipolar and has a nother personality called Charles?

  8. I've said Wren since March but i kinda think his motive is not being accepted by the D-laurtentis family especially by the dad (i forgot his name) but it links to alison because she came very soon after Charles aka Wren and he was jealous. its being going for a very long time it has been said that it may even pre-exist Mona. i think he is by himself but Jessica was helping a little mainly to protect him but turned on him making him kill her and get even crazier in his A game with the girls!

  9. Some fans don't like that A is someone new so maybe your theory's right

    The theory I'm currently running on:

    Charles is Jason's twin who had mental problems. He seemed normal until Alison came along, but feeling that he was being replaced he tried to get rid of her. It's already been implied that he did some damage as Alison broke her wrist when she was young but has no idea how it happened. In one of these attacks he was disfigured. Their have been multiple references to fires and the Phantom Of The Opera, including the prom in the Dollhouse.

    Due to all this he was sent to Radley for help. At Radley he met Bethany who was also disfigured (in some of her sketches the left side of her face appears...different) which led to them forming a friendship. Possibly falling in love as they got older.

    Jessica visited Charles often and due to the ties to Bethany, took a fondness to her too. She began to call herself Aunty Jess but both patients actually developed a hatred for her.

    During one of Charles and Bethany's attempts to escape, they ended up pushing Marion (Toby's mother) out the window (a distraction so they could escape). Jessica who was on the board at Radley covered up what happened to protect her son.

    As Alison got older she began to notice odd things about Jessica (such as the 2 yellow tops) and followed her one day. She discovered Radley and Bethany but not Charles. She then felt that Jessica had replaced her with Bethany.

    Alison who was already being targeted by Uber A at that point then put a plan in motion with CeCe's help. Charles joined in with Bethany's plan and feigned ignorance to get out of Radley. How they escaped is still a mystery but they did and Radley found out, so they called Jessica (which led to her telling Alison not to go out 'that night').

    Alison and CeCe had their plan in motion though, Bethany would be killed and Alison would go on the run before Uber A got to her.

    The girls had their party in Spencers barn, and Alison drugged them. When Alison went to meet Bethany though, Charles surprised her from behind and hit her. Jessica witnessed this and buried Alison to protect her son. Grunwald found her and pulled her up and Alison went on her way with her, leading to her going on the run.

    Meanwhile Uber A was there that night and thinking it was Alison, killed Bethany. Charles later found out about this and thought that Alison and her friends did it. Leading to his anger against them. Jessica had him sent back to Radley but now without Bethany, his plans were darker. Uber A caught onto him around this time and began to groom him as something he could use. Mona was manipulated into becoming the first A and then Charles was manipulated into becoming the second A.

    But then who is the ringleader behind this all? I think it's Wren. Too much of what A has done involves medical records and we know Wren has worked at Radley. Plus too much of his Doctor career just does not make sense. He mentioned that theirs a history of mental illness in his family which I think ties him to Bethany.

    I think Wren thought Alison was bad news and began to 'tease' her as A to try and scare her off. When the events of that night happened though and Wren killed Bethany, he blamed Alison. Vowing revenge he began to target Alison through the liars. Flushing her out.

  12. Okay I've been watching this show since the beginning and I've had so many different theories over the years, none of which worked out. And to be completely honest I'm just as lost as I was in the beginning. I do have a few ideas though. Here it goes,

    I think Charles is a brother of Alli and Jason and Spencer. I think Jessica had Charles and Jason with Spencers dad.

    I think Charles was sent away to Radley because of his problems before Allison even knew he existed.

    I think his game started after Mona lost it and went to Radley, but I think he's been around the whole time watching the girls and learning about them.

    I honestly don't have a good guess for this question. The best I can come up with is it all started with the girls parents. Particularly Allisons and Spencers parents.

    I think its all happening because he was left out, and he's obviously has some serious mental health problems. Sociopath maybe?

    I'm not sure if I can answer this one, so many people have been involved at some time or another.

    I think this season is going to be the best, I'm really looking forward to finding out the reasoning behind Charles actions, and what he's like. It will be nice to see the story come to a close. I haven't been watching for 5 years for nothing lol

  13. I know the answer, Charles is Marlene King' worst idea ever (for now).

  14. Didn't IMK sad that we've seen Charles in season 1 or pilot, I'm not sure? So it shouldn't be the person that isn't familiar

    Kinda.
    Keegan mentioned that once we know who Charles is, we'll be able to see all the signs that date back to the pilot.
    IMK hinted but didn't confirm if we had seen Charles before (I believe someone asked if Charles was a new character and she replied along the lines "How do you know you haven't seen Charles before?").

    So it wasn't really confirmed or denied.

  16. 1. I think it's Alison's twin, and he must have something to do with Bethany.....
    2. He's been a sociopath since he was a little kid, so his parents had to hide him so he woudn't hurt anyone. Because he'd already done something to Bethany or even Alison and her friends, like try to kill them or something
    3. His game begins when he escapes wherever he was - when Alison starts to get those A messages
    4 / 5. Maybe he tried to hurt them when they were at the farm (the video the girls see in the dollhouse), nd thet's what caused his parents to isolate him, which caused him to develop an even stronger sociopathy and hatred towards his siter and her friends
    Bonus. Andrew, Lucas, though I can't understand how can there be so many sociopaths in one single town. I hope they explain all these people's involvement, and I hope it's not all blackmail

    Wren. He randomly worked at Radley, when Mona was there. He's popped up randomly ever since the beginning.

  18. Toby, Toby, Toby.

    He's here from the beginning. His mother was in Radley. He's obsessed with te DiLaurentis (date Spencer, took the blame for Ali for blinding Jenna). The "Pretty eyes" thing. The several times he disappeared for several episodes. He's blond and have blue eyes (DiLaurentis type, like the boy on the photo/video). He works for the police.. etc

    IMO, it's him for sure.

    Only thing I wonder is who was the guy Ali thought she was pregnant of?

  19. After 6x03 I've got the feeling that Sara is Charlie/Charles and that she wasn't really kidnapped but more the truth revealed to her.
    But with this theory comes the why is A doing all this? What does Charlie mean to A to start this whole quest? What is the big big motive. I mean after Mona's silly U took Hanna from me, nothing can really shock me/ disappoint me.
    There was one more pic missing in the DiLaurentis family book, does it hold more answeres to their secrets and connections and possible relatives.

    My guesses for Crazy Pants A are one of Liar's parents (maybe Spencer's Dad), Lucas and Jason. Jason is also shady and so tormented. Hisbdad isba bit to obviously awful towards him tbese days, maybe they are trying to build up a reasoning fir going after the girls.

    Wren is a good choice but he lives in London most of the time as far as I know.
    CeCe is such a random girl.
    Jenna would be a great choice, but she is blind.
    Paige is unlikely as well.

  20. It's definitely the grandmother of Alison's aunt who obviously, has a twin sister.
    I mean, who didn't see it coming?
    Seriously, I don't want to think about it anymore, this show is so messed up.

    Pretty much what I'm thinking. Too much of what A does involves medical stuff, which Wren would have access to. Plus much of his character just doesn't make sense.

    He jumps from hospital to hospital, and even to Radley. Plus he misspelled diagnosis which is...weird.

    The actor also mysteriously went quiet on social media while they were filming the episode with the reveal. He coincidentally wrapped his previous project on May 30 too, the reveal episode started filming on June 9th. So we know he was free.

    I've thought it was Wren ever since A stole the game from Mona.

    Mona was A
    Wren is Big A (my opinion)
    Who do you think Oober A is?

    I'm actually starting to think that Wren is Uber A. The one manipulating everything from behind the scenes. Which leads me to think that Charles/Charlie is Sara (Charlie is a unisex name so it could be a girl).

    In the video we were shown + the images, the kids were pretty young. With the right haircut and clothes a girl at that age can be made to look like a boy easily.
