characters

"A"/the mysteries "We have mysteries within the big mysteries. We give credible clues ... 'Who is A?' continues to be an overall mystery for us, but there are more mysteries, added mysteries within the show which will continue to be new and fresh and different." [source] | "In hind sight, you might say you should have known [who Ali's killer is]." [source] |"[In S5] characters on the show will learn A's identity and give a huge clue to the audience." [source] | A is a character we've already met "in theory and reality. I'm referring to a singular A ... Everyone is a possible A team member on this show."[source] | "My favorite character is A and you'll understand why when A is revealed, and A's motivation for being A is revealed." [source]

Hanna "Hanna in season 5 deals with her old identities when Ali was alive, and her new identities now that Ali is alive again." [source]

Spencer "Right now, Spencer's very balanced." [source]

Alison The girls realize that when Alison was gone it was easier, and although they're grateful she's okay, she is Alison and she's a hurricane. [source]

Mona "We’re going to find out something about Mona in the summer finale that is really fun and has to do with college, and it shows you that in the midst of all her A-ness and shenanigans, as we like to say, she’s really on the ball. This girl is going to college." [source]

CeCe "I think CeCe's good! I just think she's really messed up, like, really weird." [source]

Paige

Noel

Toby

Melissa "She definitely knows a very big secret, and that plays a huge factor in the next 12 episodes [5A]." [source] | Her secret will be revealed in 5.11 [source]

Jenna "She was Ali’s first nemesis, so now that Ali’s back, you have to see a little Jenna." [source]

Lucas "He plays a very important part of the story." [source]

Caleb "In the midst of his downward spiral, Caleb turns to 'self destructive behavior and definitely self-medication,' but thankfully, he has friends there for him, whether or not he accepts it." [source]

relationships

Emily & Paige "Their relationship is as vulnerable as any other relationship on the show. That's what makes things interesting, is the conflicts, and whether they can overcome those conflicts." [source] | "For the Paige and Emily fans, I would say to hold tight. Nothing's ever said and done." [source] | "Emily is contemplating if she’s going to be with [Paige] not, and if not, if she made a mistake—and I think the writers want to see like hey maybe Emily screwed up and has to deal with her choices and Paige has gone really really hot and I think they definitely want to make a point with that." [source] | "Is there hope that Paily might reconcile in time for the Christmas episode?" "Yes, there is!" [source]

Hanna & Caleb "They definitely do come together in some capacity, but I think there is hope as well to rekindle the romance. I think they’re are soul mates." [source]

Spencer & Toby "We'll find out in season five how strong the Spencer and Toby bond is." [source] | "He comes back from London, and he’s just been connecting more with Spencer now that she’s let him in a little bit more. I can promise fans they’ll get exactly what they want and more and maybe they’ll be intrigued by what happens." [source] | “Secrets have been revealed to Toby, from Spencer, and she’s letting him in a little bit more - into her world, so. [The Spoby fans] are going to be really intrigued and really excited.” [source]

Aria & Ezra "These guys are soul mates, and that’s not going to change. Even when they’re not together, they somehow find their way together, and I think the Ezria fans are going to be very happy in this summer season. They always want more, but I think they’re getting a lot!" [source]

Emily & Alison "I just want Emily to be happy, and I wish that for all the girls. It’s going to be interesting having that love triangle coming because Paige and Alison don’t get along that well, so having Alison back and that being Emily’s first love is going to be very interesting to see if anything can develop from that again or if it was anything ever. It will be one to look out for." [source]



friendships

Spencer & Melissa "You're definitely gonna see more with their relationship, which direction it goes I'm not quite sure." [source]

Alison & Caleb "I think it’s interesting because Caleb really doesn’t put up with too much, so he doesn’t believe her, believe her story. So he kind of corners her but she’s pretty fierce too and combats right back." [source]

Melissa & Toby "That’s definitely going to come out – where Toby went and what he did and what his involvement with her and possibly somebody else in London will come out in season 5A. That’s a little bit of a mystery that we’re going to have some fun with." [source]

Caleb & Lucas "I definitely see them continuing that friendship." [source]

Paige & Alison "The Paige/Alison storyline this summer is one of my favorites, and I can't wait for fans to watch it play out. It's very emotional, and I think it's very real to what teens go through when they are bullied." [source]

Spencer & Caleb "Spencer dealt with her own problems, turning to drugs in Season 4, so she’s the perfect cushion for Caleb." [source]

Toby & Caleb "Caleb turns to “self destructive behavior and definitely self-medication ... Toby kinda steps in" [source] | "Caleb and Toby have a little bit of a bromance." [source]



general

The common thread for season 5 is "emotion and intrigue". [source]

There will be 25 episodes "including the holiday episode" in S5. The holiday episode will be a Christmas episode. [source]

"A very big clue will be revealed. At the end of season five, there will be a really big nugget that will get fans very excited." [source]

"We are already breaking the stories for season 5B, and there is a gay male character we think who will be joining the show!" [source]

"There's one significant biting of the dust this season." [source]

"I think all the [Liars] have secrets that we may not have found out yet." [source]

"There is DEFINITELY a plan. I think it might contradict for a little while, but usually we explain in a way. We try very hard to keep things non-contradictory in the long term. We include a lot of red herrings deliberately, but we try to tie up all the loose ends before we move on to another subplot. I did not plan on dragging it out as long as possible. There is an end in sight. And we will hopefully announce what season that will be soon." [source]

"In season 5 we have a lot of fun scenes with characters we haven't seen together for a while. We are pairing up new people for fun friendship scenes." [source]

5x14 - "Through a Glass, Darkly" - X

[majesdane]

[BlondieLeigh]

Sadly, I don't think "Fresh Meat" is a reference to them all going out for burgers or something

Indeed.

[mjgchick]

Whoever dies is someone who knows a lot about Alison and all the A stuff.

So the usual? The Liars go to a funeral to investigate? LOL

TFTNT

[nick2951]

Maybe we get lucky and the actor/actress whose character dies let's it slip accidently.

I wonder if 5B is going to be like 4A in the terms of searching for the killer of the unknown character with a Liar being blamed.

A friend of mine has the theory that Alison reveals herself to be "A" after killing Mona and spends all of 5B harassing the Liars like Mona did in 3B.

[majesdane]

So the usual? The Liars go to a funeral to investigate? LOL

You forgot to add "and they also make themselves look suspicious as ****", but yeah, probably.

A friend of mine has the theory that Alison reveals herself to be "A" after killing Mona and spends all of 5B harassing the Liars like Mona did in 3B.

If Alison is A, I want them to do it right. Which means Alison revealing herself as A in 525 and supposedly dying and the Liars thinking it's over ... only for Alison to resurface in S6/7.

[AlwaysCB]

How many times did they think it was over? they never learn

[Mayberry]

Tftnt.

[mjgchick]

If Allison ends up being A I hope she goes all Regina George on them and reveal errbody and they mama secrets. lol

[nick2951]

Isn't that what happened in the books? That their secrets were eventually revealed and by Book 15? The Liars had pretty much lost everything because Alison was revealed to be "A" and went nuclear.

Most of the speculation seems to be centered around Mona and Melissa for 5x14- though most of it is pure circumstantial due to lack of an appearance in the photos. I have yet to see Sydney Penny cast for that episode and it would be ridiculous for the Writers have her in 5x12 but not at Mona's funeral if it is her in 5x14.

Besides- given their history- can you picture Ezra, Paige, Toby, and Caleb attending Mona's funeral along with the Liars? Unless the Writers redeem her in some massive way, I cannot really picture the mates of the Core Four making an attendance.

[BlondieLeigh]

It's a given that the death is not Mona, imo Melissa doesn't make much sense either considering neither of their parents are in the funeral episode that we know of (and LF always tweets when she's on set).

Thanks for the new thread!
