Ahhh what news is that (talking about PLL right)? They were really the only reason why decided to start watching it, but man 120+ episodes is a bit long for me....I'm only on S1 Ep 14. Emily is such a precious bb though.
Sorry, had no idea anyone here would be watching it, so I didn't spoiler, which perhaps I should have done?
Anyway, Sasha Pietsomething, the actor for the Maybe Dead Girl, Spoiler for where you are is actually not dead. recently in an interview said that they're adding in some random dude to be a love interest for her. This is justified to the shippers because it's important that they know sometimes your first crush doesn't work out even though THAT'S HANNA'S FIRST RELATIONSHIP IN A NUTSHELL! (I screamed that in Linkara's voice, probably doesn't sound as good to you.) Also worth noting that the only other major ship for Emily is the other halfs first crush! Grr...
The worst of it is that, apparently, half the ship's actor's ship them, the head writer ships them, most of the audience ships them, even the author for the original books (Didn't happen there either.) ships them and yet there's still hardly a chance for it to happen. I don't get why they teased a scene between them in the first episode of the next season, then cheapen the scene before it happened?
Of course i'm assuming we're talking about the same ship (Emily and Alison as opposed to Paige or . It's fairly well guaranteed that Main Lesbain Girl will end up with somebody, but I don't like her other options (Paige tried to drown Emily, not to mention is a grating character, and yet people try to sell it as the sweetest relationship on the show, Maya is too spoiler-y to say why, and no one else so far has been all that significant) and bringing in somebody new when everyone else hooked up with there endgame ship in the first season annoys me for some reason.
Seriously though, emison had by far the most potential thematically for me, because I'm a sucker for redemptive love stories which I could easily see this becoming (see my avatar, for more examples of me probably hoping for this story too much), so it left a bad taste for me.
