Shay Mitchell’s Park Workout Routine

Shay Mitchell, Emily on PLL, has shared a workout routine that you can do at a local park instead of at the gym. Shay was joined by her best friend Joanie and her trainer Zach. Shay explained that her park workout is all about having fun.

The workout may be outside of the gym, but it does require a lot of equipment. Shay and her friend used resistance loop bands, a medicine ball, dumbbells and a battle rope. Shay even did a bit of batting practice with a wiffle ball. They finished off the workout with a 50 yard sprint.

Watch the video below to see Shay Mitchell demonstrating her park workout routine:

PLL Actresses Lucy Hale, Shay Mitchell & Sasha Pieterse in “What is a Talent You Wish You Had?” OTF Video

Check out Lucy Hale (Aria), Sasha Pieterse (Alison) and Shay Mitchell (Emily) in this Freeform OTF/“On The Fly” video. They all had totally different answers to the question “What is a talent you wish you had?”

Lucy Hale isn’t a great dancer. She can move and she’s got rhythm, but she’d love to be more of a classically trained dancer.

Sasha Pieterse wishes she had upper body strength. Sasha went to a fake American Ninja Warrior track and she couldn’t do most of it.

Shay Mitchell wishes she could be good at snowboarding and surfing. (In a different OTF video, PLL actor Tyler Blackburn shared that he loves surfing. Maybe Shay can get some surfing lessons from Tyler?)

What talent do you wish you had?

No chance of PLL Spinoff or PLL Movie?

Is there really no chance for a PLL movie? Pretty Little Liars has officially been cancelled, so any news of a future PLL movie would be great. A spinoff seems unlikely, since the PLL spinoff Ravenswood was cancelled after just one season. However, the idea of a Pretty Little Liars movie was always embraced by the cast and crew of the show. There is some conflicting information on the possibility of a movie. A PLL movie seems unlikely given according to Freeform’s executive vice president of programming and development. However, PLL showrunner Marlene King is leaving the door open for a future movie.

Troian Bellisario Talks Spencer's Fate & Origin Story for PLL Season 7B

The PLL season 7A summer finale left it unclear if Spencer will survive her gunshot wound. Troian Bellisario, Spencer on Pretty Little Liars, recently talked about what to expect on PLL season 7B. We will learn Spencer’s origin story, which is fascinating to Troian. Troian always considered Spencer the black sheep of the Hastings family.

Troian Bellisario couldn’t spill too much about her character’s fate, but she teased the possibility that Spencer dies. “I can't really comment on whether I'm there in flashbacks or there in the flesh, but this is the end of the show, so yes, it’s absolutely possible I could be dead.”

PLL Season 7B Spoilers: Spencer Hastings Family Dynamics Pays Homage to Sara Shepard’s Books

Spencer’s family dynamics will be explored in the second half of season 7. The show will explore Mary Drake being Spencer’s biological mother. Interestingly, this plotline was inspired by the one of Spencer’s plotlines in the Pretty Little Liars books written by Sara Shepard.

The Spencer Hastings and Mary Drake reveal will play a huge part in the rest of season 7.  “That was a huge revelation not just for Spencer, but for the Pretty Little Liars and the show and the storyline. It’s a driving engine of Spencer’s emotional story as we come back in April,” PLL showrunner Marlene King told Variety.

Toby & Yvonne Car Crash Not Caused by A.D./Uber “A”

A.D. is responsible for a lot of pain and suffering, but Uber “A” wasn’t the cause of the Toby and Yvonne car crash that took place at the end of the season 7 summer finale. That car crash was more symbolic than anything else. Will Toby and Yvonne survive the crash? Yvonne’s fate is uncertain, but it seems unlikely that Toby is dead.

PLL showrunner Marlene King was asked if there was something more to the Toby and Yvonne car crash. “There was definitely nothing nefarious going on there. The car crash is just saying nobody really does ever leave Rosewood… it’s really more of a metaphor than anything else” Marlene told Variety.

PLL Season 7B Spoilers: Emily-Paige-Alison Love Triangle

There was an Emison kiss in the season 7 summer finale “The DArkest Knight”, but that doesn’t mean Paige will suddenly disappear. Expect to see an Emily, Paige and Alison love triangle when PLL returns for the second half of season 7.

Instagram

“Paige is not gone for good. This is our season of homecomings and full circle moments. These last 10 episodes really reflect the full-circle-ness of the show and where we hope to go in these final 10 and having that triangle play out felt very appropriate for us as storytellers” PLL showrunner Marlene King told Variety. Marlene King previously said Paige’s return will bring out Alison’s inner bitch.

Brant Daugherty: Noel Kahn a Misunderstood Villain

Actor Brant Daugherty, who plays Noel Kahn on PLL, had some interesting thoughts on his character. He thinks of Noel as a misunderstood villain. If he looked at the situation from Noel’s perspective, then he could see how Noel felt like the Liars were the ones who antagonized him. He brings up some good points about how the Liars kept accusing him of things he didn’t do. He also describes how they filmed the scene where his decapitated head rolled down the stairs. (In another interview, Brant Daugherty hints at what Noel's been through during the five year time jump and talked about Noel's ties with Charlotte.)

Brant Daugherty explained that they used his actual head for the decapitated head scene. It wasn’t a prosthetic head. “We wanted it to bounce down the steps, so they CGI-ed my body out but they had to have my head on a step and I had to bounce. It was very, very technically tricky and we had to do it about a hundred billion times to get it right. So I had to bounce my own head off the step, and then land, and then settle into its final resting position. It was one of the more bizarre days of my life” Brant said. It was so weird that the cast couldn’t stop laughing while filming. “We were all laughing between takes. We were like, what are we even doing right now?” Brant told Vulture.

PLL Actor Brant Daugherty Talks Noel’s Backstory & Ties with Charlotte

Noel Kahn’s death was possibly the most gruesome death in the history of Pretty Little Liars. After the PLL season 7 summer finale, actor Brant Daugherty talked about his character’s backstory. He also hinted at a deep connection Noel has with Charlotte and suggested that PLL fans re-watch the season 5 premiere “EscApe from New York” for clues.

Noel Kahn was gruesomely decapitated by falling on his own axe in “The DArkest Knight”. It was a bloody death, but actor Brant Daugherty was happy to find out his character would die after being brought back for a short arc. “I was overjoyed, which I don’t think is the normal reaction? But I had grown up with Noel, played this character for seven years, and to see him get a conclusion I think suits him very well was a good moment for me,” Brant told Zap2it.
