Twin Theory Still Might Happen on PLL

What happened to that theory that there would be twins on PLL?  Last year, Tammin Sursok (Jenna Marshall on PLL) confirmed in an interview that someone would have a twin sister on PLL.

We may have found out who “A” is, but that doesn’t mean the twin theory didn’t pan out.  It still might come into play when PLL returns.

When asked about the twin theory by a fan on Twitter, PLL showrunner Marlene King tweeted “The story isn’t over.”

Shay has already started filming the movie, which is being shot in Atlanta, Georgia.

Mother’s Day will be in theaters on April 29, 2016.  It’ll be great to see Shay Mitchell in a role completely different from her role as Emily on Pretty Little Liars.

Shay Mitchell’s PLL Dressing Room Tour

Shay Mitchell’s assistant, Sammy, gave a video tour of Shay Mitchell’s dressing room from the set of PLL. 

Watch the tour to see where Shay naps and watches Netflix when she isn’t filming.  She’s got a lot of random stuff in her dressing room:

Peacock feathers: Shay decorated her dressing room with gorgeous peacock feathers.

Dammit Doll: Shay has a pink Dammit doll that she whacks to relieve stress.

Gray UGG boots: Actors often wear UGG boots on set because it’s cold or to be comfortable since they film scenes in high heels. In Shay’s case, it’s for comfort.

Altoids: Shay keeps a box filled with Altoids and gum.

Sriracha sauce: Shay puts Sriracha sauce on everything. She also has cayenne pepper in her mini fridge.

Toe warmers: Despite it being 96 degrees that day, Shay had a pack of toe warmers in her dressing room.

Although Shay’s assistant Sammy is the one giving the tour, Shay stops by her dressing room at the end of the video.

Lucas, Melissa and Jenna Return in PLL Season 6B

Which PLL characters, besides the Liars, will be returning to the show after the five year time jump?  Expect to see Sara Harvey, Lucas, Spencer’s sister Melissa and Jenna.  We also haven’t seen the last of the PLL parents, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  And of course, Ezra, Caleb and Toby will also be in PLL season 6B.

Can’t wait to see Lucas and Jenna again.  It’s been a while since we’ve seen them.  Wonder if we will see Noel Kahn anytime soon?  We still don’t know why Noel was helping Alison while she was faking her death.  Noel even broke into Hanna’s house and scared Hanna’s mom after Alison asked him to.

And it seems like we will see Wren sometime soon on PLL, although it’s unclear when he will make an appearance.  Julian Morris, who plays Wren on PLL, tweeted that he will be back on Pretty Little Liars.

Maybe we’ll also see Paige in season 6B too?  Marlene King has said that Paige will return eventually.  Marlene also said that Emily and Paige will be in the same state after the time jump.

Which recurring characters are you most excited to see back on PLL in the second half of season 6?

Sasha Pieterse Says Ali’s a Changed Person in PLL Season 6B

PLL actress Sasha Pieterse says Alison is a changed person in the second half of season 6 on Pretty Little Liars.  No longer a mean girl, Alison starts fresh and becomes a teacher.

“She’s totally reinvented herself,” Sasha told MTV.  “I think she’s looking for a normal life, but it’s not in a location that you would expect.  It’s definitely not what I expected, so to see her this way, and honestly be genuine about it — be a genuine person! — it’s a strange thing. What brings the girls together is also really strange”, Sasha said.

Alison won’t be the mean girl we’ve seen in the past.  She’s learned from everything she’s been through.  And she’s forgiven CeCe/Charlotte for the numerous times that she almost murdered her friends.  According to PLL showrunner Marlene King, Alison wants to take care of Charlotte (CeCe).

Sasha also said that Alison won’t be the vindictive person she used to be.  “I think she’s really enjoying this place that she’s at when we see her — obviously, all hell breaks loose, and that doesn’t really last long. But at the same time, you see that she’s still that new person, and she’s handling things in better ways, not being vindictive about it. She’s not that person anymore.”

Alison won’t be the only one who has changed after the five year time jump.  “Having these girls all go their separate ways and figure life out, they’ve changed.  There’s a lot of stuff that they’ve done in their lives that will affect the way they connect with each other now. But at the same time, they still have that love for each other. I don’t think that’s changed. It’s more about what’s happened to them that’s made them the people they are now — the stuff that you haven’t seen”, she said.

Shay Mitchell Cooks Moroccan Tajine
