Yahoo News Pretty Little Liars boss changed the A.D. reveal
Warning: This article contains spoilers from the Pretty Little Liars series finale.
The endgame may be well and truly up but that hasn't stopped fans tying to dissect exactly what went down in the Pretty Little Liars series finale.
Indeed, after the revelation that A.D. was actually Spencer's identical British twin sister Alex Drake, showrunner I. Marlene King has thrown another spanner in the works by revealing she initially had another A.D. in mind.
It was Wren.
However, she later changed her mind to make the A.D. reveal hit a little closer to home.
"Originally my mind was going to Wren as A.D., but we had to be realistic and there have been times when we really needed a character who wasn't a series regular and we couldn't get them on the show," she told Entertainment Weekly.
"The show is so deeply rooted in mythology and I've always said you have to know the ending before you know the beginning or else it won't make sense, so that dictated that we needed to make A.D. someone who was a series regular.
"I know a lot of fans wanted it to be one of the Pretty Little Liars, but I could never justify that being true because the show was always about their unconditional friendship.
"That then sort of led to this idea of, well, if we make it a twin of one of the Pretty Little Liars, that's sort of like making it a PLL, but ultimately, it makes more sense."

Alex Drake was unwittingly a series regular, as she appeared many times throughout the show as Spencer without audiences knowing.
And while Wren in some capacity aided her plans as A.D., it didn't stop her killing him and turning him into a diamond necklace.
Charming.
During the interview, King also answered one of our unanswered questions from the series finale, confirming that it was Wren who visited Mona in Welby at the start of the episode.
"That was Wren," she added.
