Alison’s Return Spells Trouble for Spencer on PLL

Troian Bellisario, who plays Spencer on Pretty Little Liars, has hinted at trouble on the horizon for Spencer and Alison.  While she doesn’t know exactly what will happen in season five, she points out that Alison and Spencer have always been frenemies at best.  There has always been a certain amount of competition between the two of them.  And the Hastings and DiLaurentis families are intertwined in very bad ways.  So Troian doesn’t think it’ll be smooth sailing for Spencer when Ali comes back to town.  Ali’s return will probably cause some problems for Spencer.

Ali and Spencer’s families do have a lot of history together.  Peter Hastings, Spencer’s father, had an affair with Ali’s mother.  Ali’s mother then became pregnant with Jason, Ali’s older brother.  Spencer cares about Jason, since he is her half brother.  However, Jason seemed angry at Spencer in “Unbridled”.  He was determined to keep Spencer away from his mother.

Spencer and Ali have been competitive in the past.  Remember when Ali and Spencer were fighting over Melissa’s boyfriend, Ian Thomas?  And in flashbacks, we’ve seen that there was a time when Ali was interested in kissing Toby.  (Way before she got Toby sent to juvie).  Since Toby is with Spencer now, let’s hope Ali doesn’t cause problems between Spencer and Toby.

Do you think Ali’s return to Rosewood will mess with Spencer’s family and her life?
