It’s been about three years since Pretty Little Liars ended, but the cast just got
together for a virtual reunion where they spilled some major tea, revealed set secrets,
and proved they are closer than ever.
What’s up?
It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News and in case you missed it, the Pretty Little
Liars cast reunited virtually to talk about all things PLL while also raising money for
a good cause.
The cast teamed up with Cast 4 Good and raised a ton of money for Feeding America while also
giving PLL fans everything we’ve wanted for the past three years now.
The livestream was moderated by Damian Holbrook, and included the show’s creator, I. Marlene
King, Ashley Benson, Lucy Hale, Shay Mitchell, Troian Bellisario, Sasha Pieterse, Janel Parrish,
Tyler Blackburn, and Ian Harding.
And the livestream had everything from reminiscing, hilarious anecdotes, to insider secrets of
Rosewood.
Alright, so let’s get right into the tea!
The cast looked back on their time shooting the show and talked about the most difficult
scenes to film, and their answers weren’t exactly what you’d guess.
It wasn’t anything shot in an underground bunker or those Spencer and Alex twin scenes.
The cast pretty much unanimously agreed that the toughest scenes to film were the final
scenes of the series.
They all agreed that ending the show was so emotional that it was “hard to keep it together”
while filming those final moments.
Troian looked back on the moment she drove home after filming for the final time and
said quote, “I remember getting in my car…and driving home from Warner Bros, and I was like,
that's the last time I'm going to drive home.”
Another surprising moment from the reunion was when the cast revealed that even they
had mixed feelings about #Spaleb.
At the time of the show airing, many fans weren’t here for the storyline when Caleb
and Spencer got together.
And now we know that some of the cast members agreed!
Ashley admitted she “hated” seeing them together and Tyler revealed that he was “obviously
a #Haleb shipper, as they say.”
But Troian disagreed and said she thought some of the show’s best scenes came from
#Spaleb.
She also added that quote, “I think it was just wonderful material and it was so exciting
to open up those sides of our characters.”
And the cast also divulged about another PLL couple, Spencer and Toby.
When asked where #Spoby is today, Marlene revealed some heartwarming news for fans.
The showrunner said quote, “They’re totally together, they’re endgame.
Spencer is practicing law and Toby is building houses.
They’re rocking it.
They probably have kids already.”
I mean wow, there’s truly nothing better than hearing that your favorite TV couple
is still together and I feel like that’s the news we all needed to hear on yet another
Monday of social distancing.
Ok let’s move on to another fun fact from filming that was revealed during the reunion,
Lucy Hale told her fellow cast mates that she actually stole something from set.
To mark the end of her fictional relationship with Ezra, Lucy admitted she “stole” a
poster from her onscreen BF’s apartment.
And it seems like Ian had absolutely NO idea!
He said quote, “Wait, you took the poster?!”
adding that he always wished he had taken the “old, creaky chair” from the apartment
set.
I’m just surprised Lucy didn’t steal some of Aria’s clothes as she also mentioned
being obsessed with her sweater vests.
Alright, and last but certainly not least, Marlene and Troian talked about how they created
the twin magic that was the Spencer and Alex scenes during the show’s highly anticipated
finale in 2017.
Troian explained that she filmed all of her twin scenes with another actress who would
play the opposite sister, and then all of the clips were eventually cut together.
But the entire process was really emotional — even the table read.
Troian said quote, “I was sweating.
I was so nervous.
It was the most emotional thing for me…because it was the first time I was going to show
people what I had been working on as far as a dialect and how I was going to bring Alex
to life.
And then as soon I was getting through all of that and basically sweating through every
piece of clothing I had, we got to the scenes where we were saying goodbye, and then I was
just a snotty mess of tears.”
And this whole reunion was enough to bring fans to tears, especially when Lucy hinted
at a possible PLL spin off movie.
She said quote, “I always get asked about when we're doing a movie.
People always think we're doing a movie, I think we just need to do it.”
And fans took to Twitter to share their excitement about this possibility.
One person wrote quote, “If #PrettyLittleLiars MAKES A MOVIE I WILL ABSOLUTELY LOSE MY SHIT”
Another fan chimed in adding quote, “A movie would be great”
And when one fan was asked if they’d want to see a PLL movie they responded writing
quote, “Of course we do!!
Who wouldn’t??”
And we couldn’t agree more!
Let us know down in the comments if you’d like to see a PLL movie and let us know if
you watched the reunion!
