Pretty Little Liars is going to end its stellar first season soon, and I know my TV schedule will feel seemingly empty. It has been such a phenomenal first season with so many twists and turns along the way. I’m confident the finale will leave more questions than answers but I can’t wait. I recently had the chance to chat with Torrey DeVitto, who plays Melissa Hastings (Spencer’s sister). We talked about the recent developments with Melissa and Ian, the big season finale and what we might see in season two.

How did you originally get involved with Pretty Little Liars?
Well, I actually just auditioned, which is not an interesting story to tell. But I got the call and I went in and auditioned for Bob Levy, and the casting directors. And the next day, I got the call that I got it and I was just really excited.

You obviously had an ABC Family connection before with Beautiful People, so was it exciting to be back on the network?
Yeah, it was. When I worked on ABC Family before with Beautiful People, it was my first ever series and I was just over zealous and so excited so it kind of felt exciting to go back to where it all had begun. And I really enjoyed working with the network before.

Did you read the book series?
I hadn’t read the books when I went in for the audition but I did read the first book after I got it. But the I realized they were just using the books as kind of a guide line. They weren’t going completely with it. And since they weren’t telling us anything in terms of who A was, I didn’t really want to read the books.
