The TV Chick

The day is finally here! Tonight is the season finale of pretty-little-liars and I am confident it will be epic. I’m also confident that we will find out some answers to our big questions but not necessarily who A is or who killed Ali. Whatever the case may be, I can’t wait! I recently had the chance to catch up with the little liars themselves, and they had some intriguing things to say. Troian Bellisario, who plays Spencer, talked about the big finale, Spencer’s relationship with Melissa and Ian, and her new boyfriend Toby.

There is so much going on with Spencer! What can you tell us now that she’s a person of interest in Ali’s murder case.
Just that Spencer has a lot in her history that she wishes wasn’t there and it’s all coming to the surface.

What’s going to happen with her and Melissa’s relationship going forward?
It’s so hard because they just hit a new bond. And Spencer wanted to protect her and Spencer wanted to be closer and Melissa wanted that too, and then Ian got in the way again. And it became known that Spencer had a relationship with Ian, which I think she really wished Melissa had never known and it’s going to be a really big struggle. And especially with the fact that Spencer still believes that Ian is guilty and now she’s going to be the aunt to his child and it’s terrifying for her. In her eyes, she’s living with a murderer.

And what’s coming up with Spencer and Ian?
Ohhh, a lot more really tense private moments and a lot more pretending to be cool in front of the family.

Creepy moments?
Oh, CREEPY moments!

Like the milk sipping scene!
What was up with the milk? I made fun of him for a day with that milk. I was like “Get out of here with the milk!”

And what’s coming up for Spencer and Toby after that big fun house scene? I’m liking them!
I’m so glad that you are liking them. Just a lot of really great things. Toby is the only person who doesn’t tell a lie in Rosewood, and I think Spencer needs that.

Do you have a favorite moment from filming the first season?
There were so many great moments. There was one day where Keegan, who plays Toby, and I — we were super bored, they were filming another scene — and we snuck into the school’s music room and just jammed. And then most of the crew was jamming with us. And our set P.A. had to be like “Everybody off the instruments, we’re trying to shoot here!” And it was awesome.

And what do you want to see from Spencer going forward in season two?
Oh, well there’s a whole storyline about what happens between Spencer and Ali after Spencer follows her out. I want to see more of that.

What can you tell us about the big finale?
I can just tell you that it’s really crazy. If you thought that the mid-season finale was crazy with Mona’s party, things just — Spencer had this one line, I think it was in episode 11, when we first got back and Hanna was in the hospital — and she says it about Hanna but she says “This began with a murder. We were crazy to think it wouldn’t end up here.” So you got to watch out.

I know you obviously can’t spoil a lot but will we get answers to the big questions?
You’re totally going to get answers. But answers only lead to more questions.

Unrelated to the show, I know you want to be involved with The Hunger Games [Ed Note: They recently cast Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss, but I think Troian could be great in another role in the movie]. Have there been any developments with that?
I just love the book series and I think that they have an opportunity with it to make a really great film. And if I could be a part of it, it’d be amazing. If not, I’m just so eager to see what they do with it.

Be sure to tune in tonight at 8 pm to ABC Family for the season finale of Pretty Little Liars!
