It’s A Winding Road
Troian Bellisario chatted with TV Fanatic and Zap 2 It about the Season 3 finale of Pretty Little Liars. Highlights from both interviews can be found below.
On being conscious of the choices Spencer is making or no with TV Fanatic: “I think it’s both. She’s suffering from a mental breakdown essentially. She had a psychotic breakdown, but she is now following a line of logic that for her is reasonable. Now, it might not be [reasonable to] any of the other girls or to anyone sane which is why they’re saying ‘Spencer’s gone crazy,’ but she is following her own reason and I think that is kind of interesting, because Spencer has always been a very intellectual character.”
On Spencer liking the darker world with TV Fanatic: “That is the danger with Spencer. She actually enjoys the sleuthing and the planning and the sneaking. The funny thing about Spencer and Mona, and the more we see them together we will realize, they are very, very much, cut from the same cloth.
Fortunately, when Spencer was younger, Alison sort of befriended her and didn’t make fun of her and let her in and made her a part of the group, and she alienated Mona, and Mona spins out of control one way and Spencer kind of spins out of control the other way.”
On why Spencer joined the “A” team with Zap 2 It: “I think one of the main reasons that Spencer joined the A Team is to find out what happened to Toby and what she can do about it. I can say with certitude that come finale time you will know what happened to Toby.”
On not knowing who Red Coat was when she read the script with Zap 2 It: I will say that I have a very nasty habit of being a bit of a snoop … when Toby betrayed Spencer, I knew. When Spencer crossed over to the A Team, I knew it was going to happen,. But when I read in the script at the table read who turns around in the red coat, it was one of the first times in the entirety of show that I’ve been actually shocked. Totally surprised. ”
