Pretty Little Liars’ Ashley Benson Basically Reacted Like The Rest Of Us When She Found Out About Spaleb: “Literally, I Cried”
Pretty Little Liars fans didn’t quite know how to cope with the news earlier this year that everyone’s favourite ship of them all were no more.
That’s right, season 6b not only saw the end of sanity as we know it (evil British twin of Mrs D, we’re looking at you here) but also the devastating demise of Haleb.
More shocking, some would argue, was that Hanna was also forced be totally cool with Caleb moving on with brains of the gang Spencer, powerless as Spaleb grew into Rosewood’s new power couple.
And it would seem that Ashley Benson had a VERY strong reaction when she initially found out what would be going down in the flash forward season.
She told EW: “I cried. Like literally, I cried. I was so upset. I was like, 'You have to change it! There's no other guy for Hanna.'And when I found out he was going to be with Spencer, I was like, 'There's no way. You cannot be with Spencer!”
OH BABE WE KNOW.
"I was like literally crying,” she continued.
“I calledTyler[Blackburn] and was like, 'You'll never believe what I just heard!'He was like, 'What?!'And I'm like,'We're not going to get married!'I thought we were going to get married, have kids, and then I find out that we're breaking up.
"I think I was the most depressed out of any of the fans. I'm so depressed. I go on YouTube and look at Hanna and Caleb videos 24/7 just because I'm so depressed about it."
And it would seem that Ashley’s passion for getting Haleb back together could have had something to do with THAT season finale kiss.
She admitted: "I definitely tried to get in the writers' room and say, 'How we can get this different? Can we just do one episode where they're not together?’
"Marlene was like, 'Ashley, the fans have to go through this.'And I was like, 'No! The fans are going to hate it!'I mean, everyone has mixed feelings, but Spencer and Caleb are cute, I will admit that —but not as cute as me and Caleb. So, I'm still hoping we get back together."
We’ll just have to see how it all pans out when Pretty Little Liars returns on June 21 for its seventh season.
