Shay Mitchell as Emily

Posted at 12:22PM May 27, 2010 by The Little Liar in General


Shay Mitchell plays sweet and protective Emily Fields, a girl who is going through some important life changes. We hope that playing Emily on Pretty Little Liars is a good change for Shay! Emily likes to spend time swimming laps, but you’ll find these five facts about Shay much easier to swallow than chlorinated pool water.

Is this picture she looks a little to pretty for Emily.. To me Emily was a big tomboy.. But maybe as the show starts she will be dressed down a little.

Okay, so how are Emily's parents racist if shes asian, and shes soposesed to have red hair!! the books will most likely be better.

The actress kind of sucks.... She looks NOTHING like Emily is supposed to.

yeah she def looks NOTHING like the description in the book. i mean based on appearence she's the farthest from how she should lool. not saying anything about her as the character though i'll have to watch the show first:)

Shay Mitchell is gorgeous. It doesn't really matter if she doesn't "look" like Emily is explained don't start judging until you see the TV show THEN you can start saying your opinions about her acting, looks, etc;

ummm im with everybody else emily is supposed to be a tomboy with redish blondish hair and shes supposed to be racist so how is she black? when her parents are racist about black people... i am excited to see the show though but i do think that the books are going to be better than the show and i do hope that there are many more books

@ katttt : uhm, Shay Mitchell isn't black. She's Filipina-Irish/Scottish.

Degrassi is terrible now. It took a turn for the worst after Jimmy got shot. And then after JT died, the show just kind of died and I feel like they are trying to bring it back to life... it's not going to happen.

i dont wanna be mean but im very dissipointed in who they picked for emily:( shes supposed to be pail with freckles and have reddish blond hair! does anyone else feel this way to?

horrible fail. she shouldve played Auria, not Emily damn idiots.

She goregeous dont get me wrong, but she is not A good pick for Emily, the one with the orange and chlorine damaged hair, and the one that has green eyes. She does not look like she could be a tomboy.

i feel really bad for chritisizing her because she is really a beutiful girl. but she looks nothing like emily i am just so mad at who they picked to play her and spencer. aria i dont care and hanna sure she has blonde hair but its not like they picked a total oppisite to play her. God i hope this really is a prank on us.... but sadly it isnt:(

Posted by KASSIDY on May 31, 2010 at 11:50 AM EDT #

Wow. Why didn't they just use the "model" girl to play Emily. Don't get me wrong, she is pretty, but with the racist parent thing, they just jacked it up choosing her.

@ Delaney: Uhh, Asians can definitely be racist too, trust me lol. But I do think that (although she's rly pretty!) the casting, esp. for Emily, is all wrong. Hope the show is amazing lol.

I think that Jenna was killed, and Alison had disguised herself as Jenna. Because apparently she knows a little too much. Oh, and either that or some guy has been spying on them, Toby. Since he so-called "saved Jenna's life." I don't know.

yeah emily is supposed to be white with freckles and strawberry blonde hair... I know that you cant always find the perfect actress to fit the descrption, and shay mitchell is pretty, but shes not what emily fields is supposed to look like.

Say what you want....she looks Black to me.

Posted by Danielle on March 13, 2011 at 07:56 PM EDT #

Danielle, you have no idea what you are talking about..black is completely different from fair complexion.

I’m attempting to add your site’s Rss to my own feed reader but it’s certainly not working effectively, you could need to check it out to make sure its operating appropriately.
