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]

Mona "I've always said, Mona is a viscous little dumpling and no one should forget who she was in S1 and 2 -- even if she has redeemed herself or absolved herself of some of those horrible deeds. She was still capable of them, and that's important to remember." [source] "Mona finally gets a love interest. I think she deserves one and it's kind of a shocking one so I think fans will love it." [source]

Caleb He will switch over to his role in Ravenswood following the PLL Halloween Event episode. [source]

CeCe "I think CeCe's good! I just think she's really messed up, like, really weird. She hangs out with high schoolers and she's obsessed with them, which is weird. But I still think she's good. I think she's going to be a buddy to them ... I mean, CeCe's like a sociopath!" [source]

Toby His last episode of S4 is 421. [source]



relationships

Aria/Ezra "Things were so hard for them in S3. Maybe some time apart will help." Ezria fans should stick it out, but it won't be easy. [source]

Emily/Paige "There are some great Paily moments in [419]. I think there are unexpected moments, and without digging too big a hole for myself, I think a lot of the Paily fans are going to be very satisfied by what we're doing." [source] "Paily is definitely present in S4b. One episode in particular is going to rock the Paily fans' world." [source]

Hanna/Caleb "Hanna and Caleb are such a great couple and we've designed this beautiful Casablanca moment for them. Hanna really gives Caleb permission to leave Rosewood and, basically, go to this other show. I hope our fans embrace it as much as we've embraced it as writers. That's important to us." [source]

Spencer/Toby



friendships

Mona & Shana "We will pay off that top-secret meeting between Mona and Shana in 412." [source]



general

There's lots of new characters in S4. "A few that you have been wanting to meet for a while." [source]

"It's just going to get crazier and crazier [in S4b], as the pieces of the puzzle start coming together. 'A' is going to be even more of a mastermind than anybody ever imagined so yeah, it's going to get crazier." [source]

"One of the girls will suspect early on [in S4b] that Ezra is 'Uber A' but she won't be revealing that information to Aria just yet. It is a difficult thing to prove and of course, nobody wants to tell her that the love of her life is the very person who has been behind everything. It sounds like the girl who suspects will spend several episodes trying to gather information and proof, otherwise Aria probably won't believe it. Fans will likely have to wait some time before Aria finds out the truth ... it is going 'to be a journey', which sounds like maybe Aria will figure it out eventually." [source]

Episode 419 will be in "black-and-white with sequences in color. Think Wizard of Oz reversed." [source]

Episode 422 will see the introduction of recurring guest start Riley, an indie musician. [source]

There is a possibility of a Christmas episode at some point. [source]
