So was that the scariest episode of “Pretty Little Liars” ever? Mary Drake popping up everywhere was terrifying.
Although the cast films it, they don’t see the episodes until they air and the screams and the jumps, I mean, my arm is black and blue from Ashley Benson grabbing me all night so I think it was a success.
How long ago did you plan the storyline with Mrs. D’s twin? Since the beginning?
Not since Season 1, but we started talking about it when Big A, Charlotte, stole the game from Mona and we started wrapping our brains around what the mythology of that character was. Since the Season 5 finale, fans have wanted to hear the end of the Charlotte story, but that’s not complete. I remember telling Andrea Parker that when Mrs. D died that we were going to see her for a long time so it was a few years ago that we really started launching this idea.
And she was just promoted to a series regular, so she’s not going anywhere.
Yes! Which make me very happy.
You’ve always said she is the true villain of the story. Did you say that because it tied into the twin storyline down the road?
You’ll find out more about that, but I will say that still holds to be true in many ways.
When will Ali find out that her mom had a twin? She can’t think she’s hallucinating forever.
That’s all part of the story moving forward. When we come back this summer, you’re going to find out a lot of answers. Season 7 is really the fastest-moving season we’ve ever had. It moves even quicker than Seasons 1 and 2, and you’re going to get answers almost on an episode-by-episode basis. So you’re going to get that answer really soon.
