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.

PLL's Andrea Parker Talks About Mary Drake: Liars "Better Watch Their Backs"

In the Pretty Little Liars season 6 finale “Hush … Hush, Sweet Liars”, we found out that Jessica DiLaurentis had a twin sister named Mary Drake. Andrea Parker, who plays Jessica DiLaurentis and Mary Drake, was promoted to series regular for season 7 of Pretty Little Liars. In an interview, Andrea Parker discusses her new role as a villain on PLL and warns that the Liars better watch their backs.



Andrea Parker didn’t have much time to prepare for the role of Mary Drake. “We started shooting right after we got the script at the table read, which was days before we shot the scenes with Mary. I didn’t have a lot of time to process what the character was going to be all about, so I just jumped in and flew by the seat of my pants”, Andrea told TVLine. It was hard for her to keep it a secret, though. They filmed the season six finale in October, so she had to keep the secret a few months.

PLL Actress Andrea Parker a Series Regular for Season 7

Pretty Little Liars actress Andrea Parker, who plays Alison’s mom Jessica DiLaurentis on the show, has been promoted to series regular for season 7.

Although Jessica DiLaurentis was murdered on PLL, we found out in the season 6 finale that Jessica had an identical twin sister named Mary Drake. Mary Drake is working with Dr. Elliot Rollins to take control of the Carissimi Group.

We have a lot to learn about Mary Drake in the upcoming season, so expect to see a lot more of Andrea Parker on the show now that she is a series regular.

Andrea Parker didn’t always play the role of Jessica DiLaurentis, though. Back in the pilot episode of PLL, Jessica DiLaurentis was portrayed by Anne Marie DeLuise. The show later recast the role and they hired Andrea Parker, who first appeared in season 2.

Andrea Parker didn’t expect to play such a large role on PLL. “When I was hired [back in Season 2], I thought this was going to be an episode or two, maybe. I had no idea that the character was going to recur,” Andrea told TVLine.

Are you excited to see more of Andrea Parker on PLL?

Jessica DiLaurentis had Identical Twin: Mary Drake

Last night on the Pretty Little Liars season 6 finale we found out Jessica DiLaurentis had an identical twin sister named Mary Drake. Mary Drake was a patient at Radley Sanitarium 25 years ago.

Mary Drake is actually Charlotte’s biological mother. Alison’s parents adopted Charlotte since Mary was in Radley at the time. So it turns out Charlotte is Alison and Jason’s cousin. And Charlotte is not older than Jason. She’s the same age as him.

So why was Mary Drake a patient at Radley Sanitarium? The patient file for Mary Drake read “All laboratory and test results are normal. The patient is introverted and will not speak to anyone. The patient has random violent outbursts, lashing out and throwing objects.”
