Vanessa Ray on 'A': CeCe’s a Broken Doll
Vanessa Ray, who plays CeCe Drake on PLL, talked about her complicated character and CeCe’s obsession with dolls.
"She's a broken doll herself, and so she plays with the dolls. Being 'A,' it's cool. I kinda feel like I get to be a little bit bitchy and have a reason for it now!" Vanessa said.
Vanessa was excited about “A”’s nomination at the Teen Choice Awards 2015. "I can't believe that I got nominated for it! It's cool because it's actually like, the show really is 'A' and I'm lucky enough to get to embody that,” she said.

PLL Showrunner Marlene King Defends CeCe as “A” Reveal
A lot of PLL fans were angry and disappointed when they found out CeCe Drake was “A” and took to social media to point out plot holes and express frustration at inconsistencies.
However, PLL showrunner Marlene King is standing by her decision to make CeCe Drake “A”. Marlene doesn’t think most PLL fans are upset at the reveal. “I think the majority of fans really were happy about it. I think no matter who you pick as A there are always going to be the people who want it to be someone else. We had a similar reaction when we revealed Mona was “A” and then as we got to know her character more and got further down the road, I think people couldn’t imagine anybody else being original “A.” We’ll find that the same thing happens with Charlotte,” Marlene told Zap2it.
When asked if fans will find inconsistencies with the CeCe reveal, Marlene said no. “No, it makes a lot of sense. We knew three and a half years ago that this was going to be who “A” was. I don’t re-watch episodes very often, but when I was getting ready to write this, I went back and watched every Cece scene, every Cece episode and we tell you she’s “A” several times. You will see the clues. I was like, “I can’t believe we did that, I can’t believe we were so bold!”
Marlene also said that she decided Sara Harvey was Red Coat and the Black Widow early on. “We’ve been looking for a way to play it out for a couple seasons, it really clicked. It was a good time to bring back Sara Harvey.”
Were you happy or disappointed with the reveal that CeCe was “A”?

PLL Season 6B Spoilers: CeCe/Charlotte in Sanitarium and Sara in Hospital
“Game Over, Charles” ended with the Liars happy to be “A”-free, but it wasn’t clear what happened to CeCe (Charlotte) and Sara Harvey. Looks like we haven't seen the last of either one of them.
Sara Harvey will be sticking around for the second half of season 6. In the PLL winter promo, we see Emily and Sara at a cemetery. Plus, we know something happened to Sara, since the Liars said “What happened to her wasn’t our fault” when Emily mentions that Sara is being released from the hospital. PLL showrunner Marlene Kings told MTV what happened to Sara is “part of the mystery going forward”.
Meanwhile, CeCe ended up in a sanitarium after the game ended in “Game Over, Charles”. Despite everything she did to the Liars, Alison and Jason want to help CeCe. This was shown in a scene that ended up getting deleted from the episode. “And there was a single shot we didn’t get to put in the episode, because we just ran out of time, but I’m sure it will be on the DVD, where Allison and Jason and Dr. Sullivan are visiting Charlotte in the sanitarium — so that’s where she went afterwards,” Marlene said.
You’d think Jason would be upset that he dated his sister and that she tried to kill him, but it looks like Jason has also forgiven CeCe. “Everything is very complicated in Rosewood, but I think he’s happy to have some closure that he isn’t crazy. Crazy is in the family, but his parents told him that Charles was an imaginary friend, and because of that, Jason grew up to be this tortured soul that always felt that something was missing because his brother was gone. So, he wants to be there for Charlotte now and help to become the family she never had. But thank god they never had sex,” Marlene said.
So we will definitely be seeing more of Sara Harvey when PLL returns for the winter premiere. And Marlene King has tweeted that we will see Charlotte after the time jump.
