'Pretty Little Liars' Creator Marlene King's Got Some Secrets!

(continued)

I read that Lindsey Shaw is coming back?

Lindsey is coming back and we love her, she is such a quality human being everybody is excited to have her back on the show.

Will she be picking up the mantle of coming out or can’t you tell me?

I think it not giving too much away to say the character of Paige has grown immensely since the last time we saw her and she does attribute a lot of that to her relationship with Emily. So, it’s a really a lovely story line.

Regarding Emily and her many loves we know that Maya’s back but will we see Samara again?

Samara is not coming back in season two. I’m not sure if that precludes her from future seasons, but we don’t see her for he rest of this season. Emily’s got enough on her plate. (laughs)

She sure does, she is a busy Little Liar.

She is a busy Little Liar and now she is leading the charge to discover A’s identity. So she is in major proactive mode.

Do you know who A is?

Yes.

Have you always known?

From the pilot on we’ve known who A was.

The show has such a wide appeal but were you aware that it’s also a cult favorite for gay men? I have gay guy friends who have Pretty Little Liars and Revenge viewing parties, so it’s very highly esteemed.

We have some gay men who follow us wholeheartedly on twitter so were starting to get a sense of that. But I didn’t know there were Pretty Little Liars / Revenge parties. I love that! I want to go to one!

Well, we will invite you!

Please!

I really love the pop culture, literary and film references in the show. The whole recent bit with Carson McCullers The Heart is a Lonely Hunter as the text in which Spencer communicates with Emily was brilliant. How did that get into the show?

The writer of that episode, his name is Joe Dougherty - that was Joes’s idea and Joe is just a tremendous asset to this show. He comes up with a lot of those brilliant ideas; I’ve got to give him full credit for that.
