Aria Caught in Love Triangle in 'Pretty Little Liars' Season 2

Aria Montgomery's love life is getting more complicated in season 2 of "Pretty Little Liars". The character played by Lucy Hale will find herself caught in a love triangle as another man threatens her relationship with Ezra.
Making it more intriguing, the third person is none other than the brother of her deceased friend, Alison. "You've met the character before," executive producer I. Marlene King gushes about Aria's new love interest. "But he's been recast so it's going to be a new actor in that role."
Alison's brother Jason DiLaurentis has indeed been recast with Drew Van Acker replacing original actor Parker Bagley. On why they decided to recast the role, Marlene claims, "This actor works more for where we're going with that story."
Spilling more details on how Aria and Jason grow closer, Marlene explains, "He plays a dark and mysterious guy, and he taps into Aria's dark and mysterious side. She used to be what we call 'Goth-lite' in flashbacks, he kind of taps into that, he remembers Aria in her pink hair and the person she used to be, and they kind of connect in that way."
"They say, like, 'People will only remember the dark details of Alison's murder,' and Aria says, 'We're those dark details.' So [Aria and Jason] have that thing in common," Marlene further tells E! Online. In the upcoming season, Jason will be residing in Maya's house, where the DiLaurentis family lived before his sister Alison died, alone without his mother and father.

Another tidbit is also obtained for Spencer and Toby's relationship. Teasing on what can be expected from the couple, Troian Bellisario tells Zap2it, "You'll see a lot of sort of star-crossed lovers - sneaking out trying to get to each other and just enjoy each other. She's really happy when she's with him. She feels safe."
But something will strain their relationship as Troian says, "The hard thing about that is how much can you enjoy a relationship that you can't really have?" Things are likely to get complicated with the return of Melissa's ex-fiance, Wren. "I can tell you that Toby's not too thrilled that he's back," the Spencer depicter gushes.
"Pretty Little Liars" returns with all new episodes on Tuesday, June 14 at 9 P.M!

'Pretty Little Liars'' Lucy Hale: 'Someone else catches Aria's eye'

Attention "Ezria" fans: Prepare yourselves for a new love interest to come in and shake things up for your favorite couple on "Pretty Little Liars."
That's right. A new Rosewood guy will be giving Ezra (Ian Harding) some competition for Aria's (Lucy Hale) heart.
We sat down with Hale at ABC Family's summer press day on May 14, where she revealed Aria will in fact be caught in a love triangle in Season 2: "There's someone else that catches Aria's eye who is more age-appropriate."
"It's very interesting," Hale says of the love triangle. "Because I think it makes her realize how much she really is risking by being with Ezra."
Hale couldn't reveal who the new love interest is -- "I can't say!" -- but teases, "The two guys are completely different, like, couldn't be more opposite." One "PLL" guy who is out of the running? Noel (Brant Daugherty). "Noel is not in the love triangle," she says. "But he is involved in the second season." Cryptic? Yes. But it's "Pretty Little Liars." We expect nothing less.
It seems like whoever this mystery guy is has seriously caught Aria's attention as Hale says, "I don't know which guy she's going to choose." Sounds pretty serious, no?

'Pretty Little Liars' Recap: Episode 9, "The Perfect Storm"

By Karen Sanders
The Perfect Storm begins with Hanna, Aria and Spencer studying for the SATs at Spencer's house. Emily, however, is strangely absent. While her friends are busy learning long words, Emily arrives at home caked in mud and dripping wet from the approaching storm. After the way the previous episode ended - with Ali's memorial being smashed up - Emily's appearance makes us wonder exactly what she had been up to.
With the storm brewing over Rosewood, the high school kids are in school waiting to take their exam. With the storm making it's way into town though, many students can't make it in and those who do later become locked in for their own safety.
Pretty Little Liars - Emily's Story
In the midst of the exam and storm chaos, Detective Wilden is back and smarmy as ever. Emily is his target again this week, and him noticing her muddy shoes does not help. He also informs her that Toby was spotted at a gas station near to Ali's memorial and is still convinced that Emily knows where he is.
When the Pretty Little Liars are questioned on their whereabouts at the time of Ali's memorial bashing, Emily lies and says she was studying at Spencer's. Her friends cover for her but when Wilden leaves, they ask where she really was. Emily makes up a story and gets snappy when they question her further. At the same time, she receives a text message from A about Great Expectations. Leaving the other girls surprised by her mood, Emily heads into the library in search of the book. She locates Great Expectations and finds a letter inside. A letter she wrote to Ali about them kissing. A flashback shows Ali giving Emily a serious come-on while reading Great Expectations and the two kiss. However, a later flashback shows Ali flirting with Emily again and when Emily makes a move, Ali flips out and tells her she is just using Emily as kissing practice for when she kisses boys. Those incidences were the reason Emily wrote the letter. To vent her frustration and anger over being tormented.
While Emily is in the library, the storm outside is growing wilder. The lights go out and she panics when a book falls off the shelf. She goes to investigate and finds nothing but when she gets back to her spot both her bag and the letter have gone. Freaked out, she heads down to the locker room, where everyone else is now sheltering. She is there for just a few minutes when Wilden shows up and says he has found something that belongs to her.
Emily follows his back to the library and her friends follow too, anxious to find out what has been happening. Wilden shows Emily that he has located her bag and the letter, and demands she tells her friends all about the kissing and how she wanted revenge on Ali for messing her around. He also shows a photo he received of Emily at the trashed memorial. The other Pretty Little Liars are all stunned at this news. They are further shocked to find that Emily has stowed the little statues that were on Ali's bird bath thing at the memorial in her bag. Emily begins to cry and explains that she went to the memorial but it had already been destroyed. She took the statues because they were the only things that weren't broken. Wilden goes on to reveal that Emily wrote the letter to Ali three days before she went missing and just when he is about to deepen his questioning, Spencer's mum walks in and asks what is going on. When the girls tell her, Mrs Hastings tells Wilden in no uncertain terms that questioning minors without an adult present makes anything he discovered inadmissible in court and that his career is over.

Pretty Little Liars: Lucy Hale on Ryan Seacrest

Hale and her Pretty Little Liars character Aria Montgomery have something in common — they like a little edge.
The 21-year-old actress caught up with old pal Ryan Seacrest on KIIS FM earlier this week to chat about the upcoming episode and just why she went for the role in the series.
Lucy shared, “That’s why I wanted to be a part of the series, because ABC Family has never done anything like this. They’re just pushing the limits. …It’s just an edgier, more adult show.”
So what is Aria doing in the new episode next week? Singing! “[I'm] singing [a song by Eva Cassidy] about my teacher I’m in love with. He’s so angry at me. He’s actually mad at himself, but he takes it out on me because I guess he’s mad that I’m 16,” Lucy dished.

Spoiler alert!! Do not listen unless you want to hear Lucy reveal who A is (in the books.)
I didn't listen : )
