PLL 6x19 Sneak Peek: Mona was Ready to Kill Charlotte

Seems like Mona wasn’t as ready to forgive Charlotte as she claimed to be when she told the court to release Charlotte from the hospital.  In this sneak peek of Pretty Little Liars 6x19 “Did You Miss Me?”, we find out Mona was ready to kill Charlotte.

Emily tells Spencer and Aria about her conversation with Mona.  Mona said that she was ready to kill Charlotte, but she didn’t do it.  Charlotte never showed up to meet her.

Aria doesn’t care if Mona is innocent or guilty of murder.  Mona admitted to being the brunette on the phone at Two Crows Diner.  Aria wants to tell Lt. Tanner and get herself off the suspect list.

Spencer thinks Mona is telling the truth about Charlotte not showing up to meet her that night.  She wants to hold off on telling the cops about Mona.  Mona might lead them somewhere, especially if she thinks the Liars believe her. 

Uber “A” wants the Liars to turn over Charlotte’s killer before election night.  The Liars are running out of time to figure out who really killed Charlotte.  Based on the promo of PLL 6x19, it looks like Hanna has a plan.

Do you believe Mona?  Or do you think she killed Charlotte?

PLL Season 6B Mona Spoilers

The PLL special “5 Years Forward” gave us an idea of what is in store for the Liars and their significant others after the five year time jump, but the episode didn’t tell us that much about Mona Vanderwaal.  (Although we found out that Mona doesn't believe Charlotte has changed).  Janel Parrish, who plays Mona on PLL, talked in this interview about what to expect from her character after the five year time jump.

We know the Liars are forced to go back to Rosewood to testify about Charlotte in court (Alison wants the Liars to convince the court that Charlotte is no longer a threat).  However, Mona will also be forced to return to Rosewood.  "She, too, is forced back to Rosewood and has a new mystery to face that kind of bonds the five of them together again, whether they want to be or not," Janel Parrish explained.

Mona will look a little more conservative when she returns to Rosewood after five years away, but she’s still the same Mona we know.  It won’t be clear if Mona can be trusted, but that makes Mona a fun character for Janel to play.  "She still kind of shows up where you don't expect her to show up and says a couple things that make you curious about what her true intentions are.  But I think that will always be a part of Mona no matter what and I think that's something that makes her character really fun" Janel said.

Do you think the Liars can trust Mona?

PLL Sneak Peek 6x05: Lesli Threatens Mona

Mona was worried that Alison might hurt her, but maybe she should have been worried about Lesli.  In this sneak peek of PLL 6x05 “She’s No Angel”, Lesli threatens Mona.

Hanna and Mona stop by The Brew before going to the police station.  Mona is surprised to see her BFF there, but Lesli no longer considers Mona her friend.

Lesli is furious that she got dragged into Mona’s fake death scheme.  Lesli is back in Rosewood because she was summoned by the police.  She blames Mona for making her an accomplice to a crime.

Lesli regrets the day she met Mona and complimented her on her Dolce & Gabbana stretch pants.  Now her fellowship, her teaching position and her reputation are in jeopardy because she saw Mona as the victim.  She never wanted perjury on her resume.

Hanna doesn’t know what perjury means, but she tells Lesli to back off.  Mona never tried to hurt Lesli. 

Mona apologizes to Lesli, but Lesli doesn’t care.  She tells Mona that she believes in payback, too.  Mona will live to regret it if she ever reaches out to her again.

It’s nice to see that Hanna has Mona’s back.  Do you think Mona deserves all that hate from Lesli?

PLL Sneak Peek 6x05: Mona Still Scared of Alison

Mona shows up unexpectedly at Hanna’s house in this sneak peek of PLL 6x05 “She’s No Angel”.

Mona is back in Rosewood, but she doesn’t look like the Mona we all know.  Mona’s dressed in all black and is wearing sunglasses.  She got back from the spa late last night.  It doesn’t look like the relaxation helped her any. 

Hanna tells her about the cops that follow the girls around 24/7.  They even stand outside the bathroom at school.

Mona wishes that she never came back to Rosewood.  She doesn’t feel safe being in the same zip code as Alison.  She’s sure Alison is plotting revenge for Mona sending her to jail for months.

Hanna tries to get Mona to worry about the bigger issue: “A” is still out there.

Mona asks Hanna to take her to the police station.  She doesn’t want to go in there alone.  They might press charges against her for faking her death.  The investigation into her death cost the taxpayers more than Rosewood’s new sewer system.  She committed a crime and she doesn’t think the cops will look after her like they are looking after Hanna.

Hanna tells Mona that the cops are looking for “A”.  They all are.  They have to track down anyone who had contact with Charles DiLaurentis.  Someone who worked at Radley has to know something.

Are you glad Mona is back in town?  We know how smart Mona is.  Maybe she can help the Liars figure out who “A” is.

PLL Spoilers: Mona and Alison Become Friends?

Once the girls escape the dollhouse, will Mona and Alison stop being enemies and become friends?  Sasha Pieterse, Alison on PLL, hints that they will. 

Mona and Alison would need to overcome a lot of history and hurt feelings to become friends.  Mona would have to forgive Alison for bullying her and Alison would have to forgive Mona for becoming “A” and terrorizing her and the Liars.  And when Alison finally returned to Rosewood, Mona created an army to protect herself from Alison.  She was convinced Alison hadn’t really changed.  However, it looks like they just might put aside past grudges in season 6 of Pretty Little Liars.

"They're nervous of each other, probably Mona more than Alison, but I think they're kind of starting a friendship in a very strange way. As much as they're different, they're very similar," Sasha told buddyTV.  "I think they're now learning how to be around each other without protecting themselves because now everything's out there."

PLL Spoilers: Dollhouse Torture Similar to ‘Saw’

Do you like horror movies like Saw?  If you do, then you’ll love season 6 of PLL.  Pretty Little Liars is going to take a very dark turn. 

“Basically what we're dealing with is a very, very angry Charles and the season starts right where we left off: So we are still trapped in that horrible, horrible dollhouse. We will get out at some point, but when we do we will have some serious emotional scars. All of us will have different things that we're dealing with. You'll find out what they are as the season goes on, but yeah it's going to be a darker season, and some darker girls are emerging from this dollhouse”, Janel Parrish (Mona on PLL) told ETonline.

In the PLL 6x01 promo we saw a traumatized Mona singing to herself, rocking back and forth all alone.  It looked like she was suffering from Charles’s punishment.  Janel said each of the girls will have a different type of torturous punishment for their escape attempt.

“Well it looks like she's in some dirty hole freaking out. How long has she been there though is the thing, and what's she going to be like when she gets out? Every girl gets a different type of torture that, again, you'll find out more about as the season goes on, but it's dark -- it's really dark. It kind of reminds me a little bit of Saw. The puppet-master plays these games with them, and if they do something wrong -- they're punished. That's what happens this season. It's pretty crazy, but I think the fans are going to like it. It's kind of a different feel to the show.”

PLL Romance Spoilers for Season 6

It’s time for a PLL romance checkup for season 6.  Things look pretty bleak for the Liars, since they will be traumatized from their time spent trapped in the dollhouse.  What’s in store for them romantically when they finally escape the dollhouse?  Pretty Little Liars executive producer Oliver Goldstick spilled some juicy spoilers to ET Online for Hanna, Aria, Spencer, Emily and Alison’s love lives.

Hanna and Caleb have always had a relatively stable relationship.  They have always had each other’s backs and have been supportive.  However, they may start to have some issues in season 6.  After escaping from the dollhouse, Hanna may start pushing Caleb away.

"Because of her trauma, she might not be able to appreciate how great Caleb is right away in [season] six”, Oliver Goldstick said.  Caleb, however, will continue to be the sweet boyfriend that we love.  "I think he's always been there to support her with every decision she makes, and I think he remains the perfect boyfriend in so many ways."  So it looks like there is still hope for Haleb fans.

Aria and Ezra have had ups and downs for the past few years and at the end of season 5 they were no longer together.  They managed to make it through the bombshell reveal that Ezra was keeping secrets and writing a book about Alison.  However, things started to fall apart when Ezra realized that Aria regretted missing out on the typical high school experience because of her secret relationship with him,.  Ezra thought Aria spending time away from him was the only way to have a healthy relationship in the future, but that pushed her closer to Andrew Campbell.

Andrew seemed pretty sweet and he clearly wanted to be the guy Aria turned to.  He acted a little suspicious the night Aria’s brother got beat up, though.  We also saw him eavesdropping on a phone conversation between Spencer's mom and Melissa.  And we can’t forget that “A”’s lair was at the old Campbell farm.  Which guy is in Aria’s future?

Oliver Goldstick gives some hope to all the Ezria shippers.  Looks like it isn’t going to be easy for Aria to stay away from Ezra.  “Part of her knows that she and Ezra need to go their separate ways, but something happens in the beginning of [season] six A that brings them very close together again.  This will be a challenge and they're both going to have to deal with it. It's a mixed message from the universe."

Don’t expect Ezra and Aria to get together right away, though.  PLL showrunner Marlene King said Aria and Ezra's breakup was necessary.

Spencer and Toby started having issues when Toby became a Rosewood police officer.  Spencer ended up kissing two guys, Johnny and British hottie Colin, when Toby kept pushing her away.  Spencer and Toby didn't break up, though.  They  kissed before "A" kidnapped Spencer.  However, in season 6 Spencer is going to be a bit preoccupied with investigating “A”.  That’s going to put her romantic life on the back burner for a while.

"Spencer will be challenged as well, but the great news is she's got an inside track at the Rosewood PD.  So Spencer -- who has always led a lot of this mystery train -- holds the key because she was obviously the first one to see [Charles'] movie.  I would just say that her romance may get a little addled by the mystery of it all, but that doesn’t mean her romance goes away completely".  So it doesn’t seem like we will see that much of Spoby in season 6.

Emily hasn’t had much luck in the romance department.  Her first girlfriend, Maya, is thought to be dead.  And her on-again/off-again girlfriend Paige moved to California.  Her romance with The Brew’s chef Talia was short-lived and seemed doomed to fail since she was married.  It looks like Emily has already met her soul mate, though.

"She might just realize that she's now got a soul mate closer to her than she ever thought.  And the dollhouse will have been a big factor in a shift of what Emily wants in a partner. Who and what she wants", Oliver said.

What does this mean for Paily and Emison fans?  We know Paige will be making an appearance in season 6.  Do you think Emily realizes Paige is her soul mate?  And is Maya really dead?  There have been hints that “A” may have tried to kill Maya.

Alison’s stint in jail meant that she didn’t have much of a romance life.  She was a bit busy fighting for her life.  Now that she’s out of jail, however, she may start up a new, unexpected romance.

"I think you're going to be excited that there's life after prison for Alison and that she doesn’t have to wear orange.  Once she puts on a different color she may be attracted to somebody in Rosewood who you won't expect -- an unlikely person. And an unlikely person might find her very attractive."

An ‘unlikely person’ is a pretty vague clue.  Anyone hoping for Alison and Noel hookup?  We still don’t know why Noel was helping Ali while she was on the run, but it seems like there is more to that story.

Or do you think the unlikely person could be Lucas?  Lucas has always hated Alison for bullying him.  He is one of the last people you would expect to hook up with Alison, which would make him an unlikely person.

Of course, it could also be a character we haven’t met before.  From behind-the-scenes photos that Sasha Pieterese posted, we know that Alison will meet Lorenzo Calderon, a new Rosewood police officer played by Travis Winfrey.  Maybe we'll see some sparks fly between Alison and Lorenzo?

No spoilers for Mona’s love life, but Mona and Mike are such a good couple.  Mona genuinely seemed to care about Mike and Mike was clearly in love with Mona.  Hope they continue dating when Mike finds out that Mona isn’t dead after all.

Mona Didn’t Leave the Charles Anagram for the Liars?

What does Mona's message mean? #PLL pic.twitter.com/bc9uX48jvU
— Pretty Little Liars (@ABCFpll) March 11, 2015

Did someone else leave the Charles anagram for the Liars in Mona’s bedroom?  When Spencer told the girls that she figured out the alphabet blocks spelled Charles, Mona didn’t mention leaving them a clue about his name.  It seemed like she was hearing the name Charles for the first time. 

People asked Marlene King about the anagram found in Mona’s mirror.  “Well, we're going to get into that next season because last night, as you watched, it seemed like that was new information to Mona. So she might not have been aware of those anagrams left at her house” Marlene said.

Did “A” leave the anagram for the girls to find?  Or did Andrew leave it as a clue for the Liars?  Andrew was watching Mona’s house while the Liars were searching it.

Janel Parrish Talks About Mona’s Return

Mona Vanderwaal, the original “A”, turned out to be alive in the Pretty Little Liars season five finale “Welcome to the Dollhouse”.  Janel talked to E! Online about the shocking revelation that Mona wasn’t really dead.

http://whoisontheateam.tumblr.com/post/114568744322

Janel really did believe her character died.  “Honestly, when Marlene told me I was going to die, I thought I was dead. And then a couple of weeks before we filmed the finale, she called me and was like, ‘OK, you're actually alive.’ So I was like, ‘Yeah, I'm alive!’” Janel said.

Mona certainly looked dead when “A” stuffed her in the trunk of a car after attacking her, but Janel has an explanation for that.  “I believe Mona was drugged by "A" and so that's why she looked like she was dead. She was drugged.”

Janel isn’t a huge fan of Mona’s new blonde hair.  “Let's talk about the fact that I look terrible as a blonde. I will never be blonde ever again! I'm dreading myself seeing myself in that wig, in that scene being creepy and strange!”

Janel is happy that Mona’s alive, since that means she’ll get to be in more scenes on the show.  “Flashbacks are all fun and good, but it's nice to be back and have more than one scene every few episodes. I love doing what I do and I love being on set and being with the cast and playing Mona. I really prefer Mona alive, so I'm very happy” Janel said.

Were you surprised to find out Mona wasn’t really murdered by “A”?

PLL Sneak Peek 5x18: Mike and Aria Talk

Mike and Aria talk about Mona in this sneak peek of PLL episode 5x18.

PLL Do-Over: Alison and Mona

What would happen if Alison could go back in time?  That questioned is answered in this clip that was aired during the commercial break of Pretty Little Liars 5x17 “The Bin of Sin”.  This clip is not part of the actual episode.

In jail, Alison wonders what she would do-over.  She remembers a time when Mona complimented her hair.  Alison responded by insulting Mona’s hair, saying “Mona, there are cancer patients with better hair.  If I were you, and I’m happy that I’m not, I would stop trying”.  If she had helped Mona that day, she and Mona could have been friends instead of enemies.  And Alison wouldn’t have ended up in jail.

PLL Sneak Peek 5x16: Aria and Mike Discuss Mona

Mike is trying to come to terms with Mona’s death.  Mike tells Aria that Mona had a list of movies that she wanted to show him.  He decided to watch a couple.

Mona remembered every little detail from all the movies she watched.  Mike thinks Mona was too smart.

Remember Mona’s friend Lesley being mentioned in "Taking This One to the Grave" PLL episode 5x12?  Mona thought her friend Lesley would miss Thanksgiving dinner because she was stuck at school, but she was actually coming to surprise Mona. 

Looks like we will soon get to meet Lesley.  PLL showrunner Marlene King told E! Online that there will be a new “troublemaker” in Rosewood.  “In the episode where Mona met her demise, she was talking to her friend Lesley on the phone that day and we finally get to meet Lesley.  She comes to town."

It looks like Lesley will be played by Elizabeth McLaughlin, so we will see her in "Oh, What Hard Luck Stories They All Hand Me" episode 5x18.

Can’t wait to see Lesley meeting the Liars!

PLL Spoilers: Mona as Ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Future

Mona Vanderwaal may be dead, but that doesn’t mean she can’t haunt the Liars in the PLL Christmas episode “How the ‘A’ Stole Christmas” 5x13.  Janel Parrish will be returning to play Mona as the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Future, complete with a creepy and cool Halloween-style costume.

Janel told zap2it that Mona will leave the Liars a clue in the Christmas episode.  Mona left the clue to help the Liars figure out what happened.

There will also be Mona flashbacks in the Christmas episode.  Janel posted this photo of a Hanna and Mona flashback to look forward to.

Janel has said that Mona’s death is going to affect Hanna the most.  “Hanna’s definitely devastated by her death”.

Wonder if the Liars will be able to figure out what Mona’s clue means?
