We had cake and champagne to close out the series, but it was very tearful.
It really felt like family going there.
I know those episodes dont air until the spring, but can you give us any hints?
I really hope some couples reunite the core ones like Spoby, Haleb, and Ezria.
And Im a big Emison fan, so I would love to see that happen.
that I hope this reveal is just as juicy and shocking.
Knowing the team that writes the show, its certain to be!
What was it like watching the series, especially when the show didnt always match the books?
Its like the books and the show exist in the same universe but are just parallel worlds.
Ive loved watching the show and seeing Rosewood come alive.
And its been amazing seeing how fans have embraced the characters.
I dont know how many Twitter/Instagram handles Ive come upon that are named after DiLaurentis or Pretty Little something.
As the author of the books, how involved have you been in the series?
They have been very respectful of the world, though.
And I know most of the staff has read all of the books and thats a lot of books!
Any favorite moments, characters or episodes?
I loved The Dollhouse.
It was so deliciously creepy.
I loved the black and white episode, too.
And all the proms and Halloweens!
As for characters, man, its hard to choose.
I adore all of the main girls Alison included.
Tell us aboutThe Amateurs.
Where did the idea come from?
Its more of a whodunit thanPLL but with the same tension, soap, twist, and turns.
Can you introduce us to some of the characters?
Brett is one of those guys who you overlook but then blurts out something brilliant.
Is it hard to come off of a hugely successful series and launch a new one?
I launchedPretty Little Liarsin 2006.
Twitter was in its infancy.
Instagram/ Snapchat werent around.
I trolled for friends on MySpace!
How is technology used differently in this new series than inPLL?
First off, the characters inThe Amateursmeet online.
Thats one of the themes to the book, in fact: How well do you really know someone?
If you talk to them online only, maybe not as well as you think.
Also,PLLwasnt heavy on the social media but more about texts/ photos/ videos.
