To fans of “Pretty Little Liars”, Tuesday nights are still reserved for this show.
For seven years, people kept up with the drama and the mystery of PLL - or tried to! - and even the cast, the crew, and the production team behind this series constantly complimented viewers for being so supportive and so smart. And it certainly did take some brains to watch and keep up with who was dead, who was a murderer, who was a bad guy, and who was the favorite character of the week.
“Pretty Little Liars” was centered around lies and secrets. The main characters - a group of pretty little girls - kept secrets to form a bond, but soon, they were having to lie to protect themselves and protect others.
The series ended this past summer, but do super fans remember the tiny details? Do people remember the names of certain characters and actresses or the people responsible for certain deaths or the final outcomes when PLL jumped five years into the future?
Find out! Take this quiz, think back to some of the biggest moments in the show, answer all 25 questions, and don’t score less than 100 percent - because only the worst fan would do that.
Where did the story take place?
This fictional town in Pennsylvania is where the girls grew up, went to school, and came back to live in even years later - despite the danger and rumors that had followed them around here. The town seemed relatively small and safe - minus the threat of the A Team - and it was quaint, with a pretty church, a local college, a row of cute shops, and pretty homes. What was the name of the town the main characters would always consider home?
Who were the main characters?
“Pretty Little Liars” followed four main characters, a group of female friends. There was the smart one (tall, driven, and from a well-off family), the artsy one (creative, quirky, and talented as a writer), the popular one (blonde, fashionable, and known for silly one-liners), and the athletic one (a swimmer, lesbian, and military brat). These girls were the best of friends, were like family, and supported each other through some major life events. What were all of their names, though?
And who played these characters?
Of course, dedicated fans know the names of important characters. They may even know their middle names, last names, and family members’ names. But only true fans will also be able to name the actresses who brought these characters to life. Their names rolled through the credits each week, and now, since the show is over, fans are seeing these ladies in other roles and busy with other types of work. What four pretty little actresses played these four pretty little characters?
What was Hanna’s nickname?
When she was younger, Hanna was overweight. Ali helped her “deal” with this problem by teaching her how to throw up. After Ali had disappeared, though, Hanna got healthy, lost weight, and overcame her eating disorder. Even in Season 1, though, A was blackmailing Hanna, forcing her to eat numerous cupcakes (which she did) and then throw up (which she didn’t do) if she wanted to save her loved ones. Due to her weight, what was Hanna’s nickname when she was younger?
What color streaks did Aria have?
Aria and her family moved to Iceland for a year after Alison had disappeared, and the series started with the Montgomery family coming back home. The entire crew had grown and changed, but Aria, specifically, was no longer in a “goth” stage. She was still artistic, with a flair for funky fashion, but she got rid of the highlights in her hair, which were noted by several characters as an act of rebellion. What color were these rebellious and goth-like streaks?
What happened to Nicole?
Nicole was originally friends with Emily, and Nicole wanted Emily to go to Thailand with her to do charity work. When the series jumped forward, though, Nicole was in a relationship with Ezra, and while she was away and doing more work, she was kidnapped by revolutionaries. Ezra wrote a book about his loss, which reunited him with Aria - but Nicole ended up being alive. Despite the confusion, where was Nicole when she was kidnapped and thought to be killed?
Who killed Shana?
Shana had been friends with Ali, but after she had fallen in love with Jenna, she joined the bad side of this game. During a crazy night in New York, she tried to shoot Ali, accidentally shot Ezra, tried to shoot Ali again, admitted that she had started the fire at the lodge, and then was hit with a gun. She fell off the stage she was standing on, and she was dead. Which character showed up, hit her, and - ultimately - killed her?
When the series ended, which girl was pregnant?
The last time the girls were seen, they were in the town square, saying goodbye. Their story had wrapped up, and they were off on new adventures: They were married and preparing for honeymoons, reconnecting with old flames, busy raising already born children, working hard in new careers, and expecting. All of them were finally all really happy at the same time - which they noticed but didn’t want to jinx. But which pretty little liar revealed that she was pregnant?
Who turned Radley into a fancy hotel?
The Radley Sanitarium was a mental institution close to this story and to this place. Several characters ended up in Radley, but it was finally closed down. When the series jumped forward five years, though, it reopened - as a swanky hotel with a really happening bar! Visitors would've never guessed what had happened there, or maybe people wanted to stay in this new hotel partly due to its creepy history. Who was working as the manager of this new hotel, The Radley?
What were Ali’s daughters’ names?
MORE SPOILERS! By the end of the series, several big truths were revealed about Alison DiLaurentis. She was, first and foremost, alive. She came back home and started teaching at her old school. She got married to Charlotte’s doctor, who was actually Charlotte’s lover and an imposter (who later died). And she got pregnant! She ended up having two girls - twins, of course - and she was living with and engaged to the love of her life. What did she name her children?
Who wasn't a cop?
The cops in town were heavily involved in the show since the girls were always in some sort of trouble. However, the cops couldn't always be trusted. It was a small town, where rumors flew and where local residents sometimes became cops. With everything that happened, it was hard to know who was good and bad, but some of these professionals must've been good since some of them dated and fell in love with the main girls! Which guy wasn't a cop?
Who took Mona’s place in the A game?
After fans had found out that Mona was A, Mona was shipped off to Radley. While there, she had a special visitor. This person wanted to take Mona’s place in the A game, though. Mona kept doing dirty work until she was kicked off and moved over to the victimized side. It was always a mystery of who A was and how many black hoodies and blonde wigs and red coats there were, but at this point, who came and took the game from Mona?
What was the N.A.T. Club?
This secret club was started by Jason DiLaurentis, Ian Thomas, and Garrett Reynolds. These young local guys would film those around them (mostly teenage girls), but it seemed that A didn't like that at all since Ian and Garrett were murdered and since Jason was targeted by A. This makes sense, as some pretty big things were filmed, such as Jenna seducing Toby and the club members being in Ali's room the night she disappeared. What did N.A.T. stand for, though?
Who was Alex Drake?
At the end of the entire series, it was revealed that - SPOILER ALERT! - Mary Drake, the twin sister of Jessica DiLaurentis, gave birth a couple of times. She was Charlotte DiLaurentis’s mother (though this child was born Charles Drake), but then, while in Radley Sanitarium, she gave birth again. One of her children, Alex Drake, grew up in London, was discovered by Wren, fell in love with Wren, and then - SPOILER ALERT #2! - became A.D. to avenge Charlotte's death. Who else was Alex Drake, though?
Who was Toby’s wife?
Toby Cavanaugh was with Spencer during most of the series, but while the two were separated, he met someone else. He fell in love with this new person and wanted to start a new life in a new place with her. However, they were involved in a car accident, which caused his new love to be put into a medically induced coma and caused her to lose the baby she was pregnant with. The two got married before she passed away in the hospital. What was her name?
Who was The Black Widow?
The A Team seemed to keep growing and growing, causing more and more trouble. At first, the girls thought it was one person in one black hoodie, but at times, multiple people in black hoodies were seen at once. And then, to further complicate things, someone dressed all in black showed up (first at Darren Wilden's funeral), and at least a couple of blondes wearing red coats did, too. Who turned out to be The Black Widow, dressed all in black?
Who wasn't a Red Coat?
Red Coat, as mentioned above, was a big part of the mystery of this show. And, as also mentioned, anyone could've been this person, or multiple people could have been wearing red coats - which was a truth that was later revealed. From being caught in a red coat while possibly serving as a decoy, wearing a red coat around town as a disguise, and wearing a red coat because that's what the boss said to do, several people claimed this title. Who wasn't one of the Red Coats?
Who shot Spencer?
During Season 7, a lot happened! Everyone was dealing with Mary Drake and her super big news, and then, Noel was decapitated... and then, Spencer was shot! Fans kept hitting rewind and pause and trying to figure out who had shot her. Jenna? Mary? Someone who was THE mysterious A? During a certain limo ride, the real shooter confessed to Aria (and also confessed to making the big board game that the girls were tortured with). So, who really did shoot Spencer?
Who killed Bethany Young?
When Ali’s body was first discovered, that was a mistake. The body actually belonged to another young blonde: Bethany Young. She had been in Radley and then was murdered the night of Al's disappearance. It was later discovered that she had been hit on the head (since someone had thought she was Ali) and then buried. Plus, she had snuck away from Radley to confront Jessica about an affair Jessica was having with Bethany’s father. Who ended up killing Bethany Young, though?
Who killed Jessica DiLaurentis?
Jessica DiLaurentis had many enemies and secrets. She lied about how many kids she had and who their real parents were. She lied about the rest of her family - like having a twin sister. And even the creator of the show said that Jessica and her husband, Kenneth, were the real villains of the show! Therefore, who had the most motive to actually murder her? Someone did, and then she was found and buried in the Hastings' backyard. But who?
Who killed Marion Cavanaugh?
While growing up, Toby thought that his mother had committed suicide while in Radley, but that was a lie made up to protect another patient. After that, Toby assumed it was an accident, and some believed that Charles had killed Marion (and that Jessica was trying to protect Charles, her son in a dress), but when Toby heard rumors about “that blonde girl,” he finally hunted down the real truth. Who was the one who ended up pushing and killing Marion Cavanaugh?
Who was Ali’s alter ego?
Of course, the person who started a great deal of all the secrets and the mysteries within “Pretty Little Liars” was Ali. Being so sneaky got her into a lot of trouble, so she had to sneak around even further. That being said, she invented an alter ego for herself. She even let CeCe use this alter ego when she was escaping to France after killing Darren Wilden. What was the name of Ali’s dark, mysterious, useful, sneaky alter ego?
Who trashed Ali’s memorial?
After Ali’s body had been found (or... after some body was found!), the girls and Jason set up a memorial in the middle of town in her honor. They wanted people to remember their nice, pretty friend/sister, so there were a bench and a pathway of customized tiles. It was a special gesture toward closure and peace. However, the night after they had been put in, they were destroyed and completely demolished in the middle of a rainstorm. Who did this, though?
Who pulled Ali out of the ground?
When Ali was put into the ground, she was still alive, and her hand was sticking out of the ground. This was enough for someone to think that something was really wrong and for someone to pull her out. Ali was confused and bleeding, so she went to the hospital, but she ran away before she could be admitted and checked on. Who was it that pulled Ali out of the ground - and continued being very useful to all the girls?
Who wrote “Pretty Little Liars”?
This teen drama and mystery television series - which was on the air from June 8, 2010 to June 27, 2017 - was developed by I. Marlene King, aired on ABC Family (which has since changed its name to Freeform), and was based on a book series of the same name. These young adult novels came out in 2006, and they appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list. Which author wrote this story that eventually became a popular and loved TV show?
