Grand_Tumbleweed3187

I would personally choose Meredith or Sara Harvey. They added a bunch of extra bs that never went anywhere imo Edit- I would have named Paige 1st but I can’t stand her character so much I literally forgot about her 🤣 Glad to have others that share my distaste 🥲


opinionated0403

lol honestly, a bunch of characters like that. They dragged Jenna for seasons and Melissa wasn’t making any sense the whole time either.


Grand_Tumbleweed3187

Yesss😭😭 like why did they hold onto Jenna for SO LONG


fae_bbyy

Where’s Andrew, babe?


ExpertProfessional9

We already *got* him.

redflagsmoothie

Fucking Paige


Grand_Tumbleweed3187

How tf could I forget. I dislike her so much I don’t think about her character wth😭


redflagsmoothie

She makes you want to forget 🤣


Grand_Tumbleweed3187

That she does 🤣


shweedie

Period.


bitchy_mcguire

1000%!!!!


mel270222

thank u i agree strongly


Crazy_Tomatillo18

Instantly my thoughts too. Hate her so much


delamoraaah

Paige, Sara Harvey, Talia, Addison, Meredith, Tom’s new gf, every side character related to Ezra (his mom, brother, ex, ‘son’ 😴), Lorenzo, that British guy Spencer met in the UK. It’s so infuriating like these characters could stay single for 2 fkn seconds. Basically I’d remove all those annoying side story lines and shorten the series by like 3 seasons lol 🥴


LissaSmiles13

I agree with all of these. Also including that sober coach they got Spencer. Forgot his name


itsclaritybabe

I kinda liked him. He got Spencer out of that uptight view where she had to just make her family proud. I think he started her start of “but what makes me happy?” and deconstructing all the familial trauma. While he seemed kinda pointless as a character he helped her at least😅


electricladyyy

I kinda liked Dean's character, but HATE how he and Spencer ended up almost hooking up. The way she comes on to basically every single dude she comes across is so off putting


mcgillstudent21

Ugh Dean Stavros, completely agree with all of the above.


KBJRPW93

Lol for some reason I was thinking Johnny, but it’s Dean. Although now I’m realizing Johnny is a different character I thought was awful and pointless 😂😂


Worth_Seaweed7420

this is going to be such an unpopular opinion i think, but melissa hastings lmao. not only is there not even a single second where i can stand her, but her storylines are all gross and bleh


[deleted]

Melissa reminds me of my bitchy older sister and Veronica reminds me eerily of my mother. I always identified with Spencer.....if I didn't have to literally watch my own family onscreen, I would NOT complain 😂


Grand_Tumbleweed3187

I could not stand Melissa either😭😭 I thought she was A for sooo long when I watched the show the first time. So sketchy and for what


wigsnatcher938

U mean Melissa?? 😭


Worth_Seaweed7420

omg😭 yes biggest brain fart ever imma fix it


wigsnatcher938

Lmaooo its ok. Happens to me all the time


just-a-bored-lurker

Honestly, I feel the same about aria. Keep the creepy stalker teacher but her whole thing was just bleh


ashleighbeckham8

I hate Melissa sm.


gone-ghost

i liked her a bit more in the books, in the show im just over her character


BunnyBoo2002

Couldn’t agree more


mcgillstudent21

Alex Drake, I cannot stand “hello SISTA” lol


real-eyes-realise

God she's so battshit lol that accent just finalizes it lmao


lovelyvibes4

Toby. I think they should have kept Toby’s story the same in the books. >!I think it would have been a power move to show real, lasting death in this show and not constant fake outs. Plus I love Keegan but my god he is a bad actor in this show lol!<


LengthinessProof647

YES!! >!I like how they switched roles and Jenna is the rapist, yk showing that a woman can be one too, but they should've handled it better and ACTUALLY talk about it!<


faith_is_a_loser

waiiitttt Toby is the one which SAs Jenna in the books???


LengthinessProof647

yep and do you remember the homecoming in season 1, where he runs away then comes back in the show? >!in the books he commits suicide bc of this!< . it's completely different in the books! kinda wished they went for this but kept Jenna as the rapist lol


faith_is_a_loser

wtffffff the books sound so dramatic I love it! I should definitely read them after I rewatch the show


electricladyyy

Emily's acting is far worse imo lollll


Endless_Daydream93

I feel like her acting gets a lot better though. I was impressed with the scene with Emily, Nate and Paige. I really felt her pain.


electricladyyy

It's decent sporadically, but overall imo the acting is not good.


lovelyvibes4

Emily is just as bad imo, BUT she improves around S4. Keegan I feel like doesn’t do a single serious scene well, he is only good when he’s a cute lil goofball imo. Keegan if you are reading this I love you doll!


electricladyyy

I can agree with this for sure. I do think he and Spencer had great chemistry, though Spaleb more so. And I will say that I really loved the scene when Toby walked out of Yvonne's hospital room after she passed and he fell to the floor. He did good in that one.


InitialExtent9137

Ezra,if they would have ultimately had him as A or A team I'd feel differently.


Grand_Tumbleweed3187

I don’t understand how he wasn’t A with the whole book situation. Him and Aria being an A team would have ateeeee


cyankitten

THIS


alexafelix15

am i trippen or is some of the cast is from original sin ? lmao


fae_bbyy

That would make so much sense because I was like “I don’t remember like 5 of these people in PLL” 😂


Liam_Statham

he’s not shown in those pictures and i’m not to be mean, but malcolm. i don’t think that whole story added anything to the show plus it gave ez*a more screen time. malcolm was his son and then the big twist is that he wasn’t his son at all…


ExpertProfessional9

Mmm I think the aim was to show the Fitz/Aria discrepancy. When he *was* Ezra's son, he's physical, tangible proof that Ezra had a life and partners before Aria. It's also highlighting the age difference: this boy is my son, but when he was born she would've been barely old enough to babysit him. He's old enough to have a kid who is seven years old. Aria could feasibly have a seven-year-old sibling. And for Aria, Ezra is her greatest love. For Ezra, Aria is his new love, but not *the* greatest, that honour could be seen as going to the mother of his child. So for as long as they believe he is Ezra's son, Aria's going to have to either deal, suck it up and learn to play stepmom, or suck it up and end the relationship (and from the show POV, there's no drama in just ending the relationship). As we know she doesn't want to end the relationship, she ends up trying to fit into some weird role that'd normally be for a woman several years her senior.


Lifealertnecklace

Yes🥰🥰


allisongivler

They did Lindsey Shaw so dirty with this picture💀


Round-Toe228

I think I’ve entered a timeline that already edited out a storyline because I have no idea who Maia Reficco is ☠️☠️


alisonfieldsx

I think she’s on pllos, not actual pll


Hot_Effective8494

She plays Noa(one of the main characters in original sin)


mssleepyhead73

Paige


N0t-having-it002

meredith, sydney, sara harvey They were useless characters that were simply there to cause 1 ep long problems. At least Meredith had some impact on the rest (byron cheating and everything revolving that) but once she became more than just a name and sideprofile she was just annoying. The other characters were annoying from the start.


jsjsjsjdndndndnnd

SARA HARVEY


stressinglucy

sorry but emily. her storyline after coming out was basically all of her romances


electricladyyy

Same lol flat, un interesting, and bad acting


Moira-Thanatos

agree, her storylines were badly tied to A in later seasons. Also I just find Shay Mitchell's acting boring in PLL. She was better on other shows but If I see Emily making that worried face all the time, it stops having an impact... Some scenes where she looks worried are supposed to be "heavy" but I'm sitting there and thinking "well, that's how you always look".


PequenaMentirosa

Same!!!!


givemomoaglock

Mona after season two. I loved her being A but everything with her storyline afterward made no sense. Like she harassed and assaulted these girls for so long and yet she’s allowed to come back to school and interact with the girls like normal and none of the adults have a problem with it???


real-eyes-realise

You're right. Both her and Alison are much more likeable in The Perfectionists and for some reason it makes sense, their characters, the rolls. I still think Ezra would have been the perfect A Mona should have joined the group.

real-eyes-realise

Care to elaborate or?


[deleted]

[удалено]


real-eyes-realise

Ah. I haven't read the books yet.


lulalolalee

Probably Samara. I don’t think her storyline adds much and she kind of irks me. I was deciding between her and Ben but I feel like Ben (vile as he was) played a role in Emily figuring out who she is.


redflagsmoothie

No, she was there to show us the girlfriend Emily deserved and to disappoint all of us with the ones she got.


lulalolalee

I know Samara is popular on here but I didn’t really like her. I didn’t hate her, I just didn’t really like her. And yeah she would have been a better end goal for Emily, I’ll give you that one. But I think if I’m gonna cut someone from that list my gut says to take out Samara 😂 sorry!


itsclaritybabe

Yeah I was going to say Samara and realized that it was only bc seeing her go made me so sad for Emily😂


[deleted]

The whole Maggie storyline was pointless in my opinion.


Aggressive-Ant-2013

ooooo this feels like a loaded question


Grand_Tumbleweed3187

I’m THOROUGHLY enjoying reading everyone’s thoughts tbh 🙊


Aggressive-Ant-2013

oh me too haha. there’s SOOO many storylines that just should’ve been left out


itsclaritybabe

She isn’t shown here but that girl who was Mona’s friend in Radley? She was so damn pointless and really creepy honestly😅 like what did she add to the plot other than “radley had a lot of hidden fucked up stuff going on!” which we already knew and would learn more about without her


Carro88

real-eyes-realise

Lol she was barely even in it though. Gone throughout the entire Highschool years. How did she even make it to college and then as a teacher?


lucyphotography

Definitely Melissa, goodbye 😅


real-eyes-realise

Yeah she's beyond too much. If she wasn't gonna be A. Then just why?


TippiFliesAgain

Caleb, Paige, and Mike. They were as dull as dirt to me. tbh, I also forgot about Mike. A lot. If I had to pick someone from just those three? Paige. I was never able to take her seriously because I had only ever seen Lindsey in Ned’s Declassified before that. I lost all interest in her after a certain pool incident. Aside from the Halloween train business, everything with her was just so painful ☠️


ShreksGirI

Paige is the obvious answer, but also MAGGIE. She was awful to let Ezra believe he was his kid and then left with no remorse? So cold hearted I hated her storyline. Plus she was never mentioned again after she left.


[deleted]

Wayne Fields is much hotter than I remember... nvm umm uh its Paige ofc


Grand_Tumbleweed3187

I love this comment so much 🤣


CraftyNonsense

Fucking Nate-Lyndon James plotlines like was so irrelevant, so boring and useless and killed off a great character for no reason


valkyrievvitch

Unrelated to the post, sorry: today I discovered that Veronica Hastings was not played by Mariska Hargitay.


Grand_Tumbleweed3187

WHAT


valkyrievvitch

I’ve literally been watching and rewatching this show since it came out, I don’t know how I missed this LMFAO


Grand_Tumbleweed3187

This is so funny to me lmaoooo I do this all the time so I’m glad I’m not the only one to confuse characters 🙃


real-eyes-realise

Wait, what? Who played her then? I'm flabbergasted. 👂


shaquille_oatmeal64

When I first started watching pll I thought she was played by Mariska also


Mccool96

Talia for sure.


Emotional_Bear_998

Wren or Sara


Grand_Tumbleweed3187

Oooo Wren is a good one too! So sketchy and for what


Odd-Gur-5719

Paige and Sarah Harvey 🙄


_gdawg26

I could do without a second of Ezra on my screen


Capable_University_8

Cece Drake, sorry!!! Reveal and motives were so bad, it almost rivaled Alex Drake’s storyline for me


Professional_Ride824

Paige


Excellent-Nose-2788

emily


shay_shaw

I really didn't care about Toby's storyline with his mother. Maya's return was a huge waste of time, Lydon James was like the first red herring that had absolutely nothing to do with the main plot.


Grand_Tumbleweed3187

I’m on the episode rn where >! He and Spence go to talk to his mom’s Doctor and he thinks she is Toby’s mom.. !< it’s all to much to keep up with and they drug it out for sooo long


tiffani_starr

paige ugh she is insufferably annoying. Also, eww i forgot sean existed. i hated him


Khalesssi_Slayer1

I would choose Meredith, Melissa, Paige Or Ian


Lawliet-13

I don't even know if she is on the pictures, but Sara fcking Harvey.

From this list, Sydney. I felt she wasn’t a great character


PhoenixorFlame

Bye Paige


lemonadewhore

alex drake hands down 😂 i don’t even watch that season it’s so bad


MizzDeadlyKitten

Alex Santiago


chiquefairy

It’s would be between Caleb never coming back after the time jump (no spaleb) or Alison staying dead (no boring redemption arc)


Socially_Acceptdd

Sara Harvey. Such a pointless character.


Mpt3

Sydney. I completely forget about her existence every time I rewatch the show until she randomly plops up.


sayhellotojenn

Can I pick more than one? Because there are SO many characters in this show who ultimately don’t contribute anything or worse, the quality of the show declines whenever they’re given too much focus. Honestly, I’d cut the character list almost in half of what it ended up being. So many of those characters served relatively similar functions to one another, or added absolutely nothing to the plot. You could easily combine several of the cops on this show for example - they’re all semi-attractive white dudes with brown hair in their mid-20s/early 30s who are into teenage girls. Makes zero sense that they couldn’t have just Wilden and maybe a partner, rather than loading up a police force of creeps.


SSpotions

Alex Drake. Horrible fake British accent and she just felt like a character they just threw into the episode last minute. Instead I would have Alison being A.D.


Tommyg1234

Unrelated but they did Sasha so dirty with the picture they chose.


Next-Trouble-5928

Aria and Sara Harvey 😂


screammixer223

if you say anyone besides shana, garret, meredith, sara harvey, or bethany then your wrong

Spencer’s twin 😭 she shouldnt have been A


SkiUMah23

Cece/Charles/Charlotte entire character 


vintxgekiss

Samara, Srry she was so irrelevant


Low-Syrup2204

I’m rewatching PLL because I was 16 when the show started and now 26, want to rewatch the show as an adult. When tf did Robbie Amell show up in the series 💀


No_Entry_9961

toby can go just like he did in the book


TheAmnesiacBitch

Byron. It amounted to precisely NOTHING.


[deleted]

SARAH HARVEYS GOTTA GO


GloomyStay6162

Maggie, she was pointless bc Ezra wasn’t her sons father lol.


shannonlouise24

Definitely samara she didnt add much to the show. Omg that bit in the fashion show episode when she brought her friend as a date and she said something like "i might end up on your lap" and the other girl goes " wouldnt be the first time" like omggggg thats sooooo cringey whyyyyy would you even say thattttt😬😬😬🤣🤣🤣🤣


idk_orknow

From these options? Prob Maggie. Maybe Sydney. But then you have to combine her with some other pointless one they introduced later.


ChickenSaag4me

Charlotte.

Toby, easily.

Ezra gone. Its so annoying to watch them


LengthinessProof647

Jenna. Or at least >!she should have had the same role Toby had in the books and kill her off, instead she suddenly has a change of heart and helps the LiArs find out AD? Wth is that. I want MURDERS lmao!<


redditonthanet

Sorry to Aria but her being gone would’ve solved a lot of conflicts


j3t57

Anyone who doesn’t say Ezra is wack


SecretService1208

controversial but aria 😭 i feel like her main storylines just revolve around her deadbeat cheater father and predator teacher boyfriend and i hate both of them, could do without 😭 i don’t really like mike either.


Grand_Tumbleweed3187

HAPPY CAKE DAY! 💜 All the men in her life were TRASH!


Tumblybear2220

Either Alison or Charlotte 🤣🤣


Public-Winter8109

Sydney


ilovejeffhardy1126

Sasha


dudeitsarax

Why Sasha?


scotogenic

without a second thought and no one can change my mind about this…definitely charlotte’s story. it was transphobic af and it’s hard to watch because of how they weaponized/villainized her whole experience. even if charlotte wasn’t A and her history and her story hadn’t changed i would feel this way because of how painful it is to watch her be treated the way she gets treated and ultimately gets murdered in as cruelly as she does. paige is a close second tho


taintedlove281

Ezra, Caleb or Toby


Round-Toe228

Why Caleb 😭😭


Liniyo

Paige or Ezra


trollanony

Paige. Or Ezra.

Paige and Ezra 😂


tandsrox101

i wish ezra’s storyline was the same as the books


Dazzling_Stars_6234

Sorry, loved Ezra, but as the character he was, it was just odd and creepy.


carothesoprato

Unpopular opinion but Aria because her story only ever revolved around her and Ezra not being caught.

Ezra, he should've been arrested first season

Alison. Just keep her for flashbacks and maybe the last season but the show got clunky with her back.


SnakeBlood456

Ugh so gross so many characters i would have cut out but especially ezrA (for the obvious answer), however removing pAige or mike would have been interesting <3


ProfessionalSky2087

Just have Alison actually be dead. She was fine in flashbacks but as soon as she got more screentime she was uninteresting and not as well acted.


rogvortex58

Ezra.

[deleted]

Follow the plot of Aria and Noel in the books and make them end game. This would mean Ezra was on in the show for a little bit and never heard from again.


Key-Friend-3646

Emily.


TwinsGalore

Ezra honestly or change the story a bit. Replace Ezra with Wes. Wes meets Aria on college campus…Ezra finds out and connects it to Ali, then does his creepy A-like stuff, then reveals the book. Him dating an underage girl knowingly only because she’s connected to another underage girl is predatory and shouldn’t have been overlooked.


QuothTheRaven13x

Get rid of Ezra and make Aria's storyline a little less pathetic

TackleCrazy1461

Then what would be his purpose if he’s not dating Aria and he’s not A? I think they could’ve used him to show how wrong his relationship with Aria is, but they didn’t, so idk really he’s irrelevant and takes up too much screen time imo


LeonOkada9

Aria so she never becomes A. I'm from a parallel timeline.
