Watch For Sara Shepard On TV!


Sara Shepard on the set of Pretty Little Liars


Pretty Little Liars author Sara Shepard is about to make her television debut in PLL episode 7, "The Homecoming Hangover." Read Part I of our Q&A with Sara below. Then make sure you tune in Tuesday, 7/20 at 8/7c on ABC Family to catch Sara's PLL cameo!


PLL.com: Tell us about the character you play on the show. Can you give us a hint about the scene you're in?


Sara: I play a teacher at Rosewood High school. That’s about all I can say for now! ;) I wrote on the blackboard and had a scene with one of the lovely characters. I only have a couple of lines, but it was exciting all the same!


PLL.com: Were you nervous?


Sara: I was a little nervous at first . . . when we went to rehearse, my heart was racing and I felt a little light-headed. But after that, I settled down. I realize everyone who actually works as an actor always says this, but you kind of forget the cameras are there. It’s not as if you’re speaking into them. At the same time, I don’t know how actors and actresses control their facial expressions and emotions so expertly! It’s truly a talent. I had no idea what my face was doing. Sometimes they kept the camera on me long after I spoke, and I was like, uh, should I be emoting or something? I felt like I was standing there like a log.


Check back for the rest of our Q&A with Sara on Monday. And in the mean time, if you could make an appearance on PLL, which character would you want to play?

Comments:

YAY 1st comment!!! If I coul be any character I would totally want to be Jenna Marshall. Not because we share the same kind of name. Just because she's been through a lt and I LOVEthe way that the four other girls are freaked everytime she is around. The elementof intimidation is AMAZING! Also she's one of those girls that desite the blindness, is someone that people tend to talk about. She has his arua of secrecy within her. I just love her character and the subtle creepiness she gives off!! Cannot wait to see Sara in epidose 7 on Tuesday!!!

Posted by Mona on July 16, 2010 at 03:08 PM EDT #

I would be aria cause i like her outfits, and she has a problem right now, with Ezra :(

Posted by Yvonne on July 16, 2010 at 04:27 PM EDT #

I would be Emily or Jenna Emily because she is super pretty and has this certain style that I really like.Jenna because she is so secretive like she say the most random places her element to surprise all of the pretty little liars is amazing if I were a boy I would be toby because he is so cute and mysterious he has a certain way he goes about himself that is sexy!

Okay so I guess I like the t.v show although the books are sooo much better.. I don't mind the changes and the characters not fitting their book descriptions too well but it's just the books are alot more glamorous.. I mean they're supposed to go to a private school with uniforms and go to sophisticated parties in designer wear and what about the Kahn party.. Isn't noel's house huge and stuff .. In the books it seemed to me everyone was gorgeous and hot..

Posted by Sabrina on July 16, 2010 at 05:29 PM EDT #

I would love to be aria cause she gets to kiss mr.fitz and hes totallyy hott.. but i would also like to be jenna cause everytime shes near the girls go crazy and she knows it so its kind of funnyy !

Posted by Olivia on July 16, 2010 at 05:41 PM EDT #

If I got to be a character i would want to be Spencer, she is super smart and she gets a lot of lead roles in plays, i love to act. She is also sporty because she plays field hockey.

Posted by Julia on July 16, 2010 at 06:28 PM EDT #

if i were a character i would be emily cause i am a jock and i play sports.

Posted by DeDaFeWa on July 16, 2010 at 09:25 PM EDT #

Emily's sister....i forgot her name...lol...is it Catherine or Caroline?

Posted by Brittany on July 16, 2010 at 09:48 PM EDT #

I would be aria because I am also independent and don't really care about being popular and I love mr fitz. <3

Posted by Ashley on July 16, 2010 at 10:13 PM EDT #

@Sabrina OMG i totally agree with you it seems a lil hard for the ppl who HAVENT read the books to understand the characters cuz they're........ less glamorous(?)

Posted by Elizabeth on July 17, 2010 at 01:03 AM EDT #

I would probably want to play Aria,HAnna or Spencers friend or something??? those are my favorite characters

Posted by Shannon on July 17, 2010 at 11:42 AM EDT #

I'm thinking it's a tie between Aria & Spencer, I love them both!!((: I can't wait to see Sara act!(:

Posted by Janee on July 17, 2010 at 06:18 PM EDT #

@ Sabrina and Elizabeth I agree as well. The books made it seem so chic and posh, but the TV show doesn't show that. Like Noel Khan's party looked like it was in a cabin hut thing. His house is like a mansion. I wanted to see the glamor and glitz a little more. :(

Posted by Jennie on July 17, 2010 at 06:30 PM EDT #

I love Emily in the show!!! Well because she's reallllayyy niceee!!! But I luvvv how all of them work together in the showww I realllayyy only watch the showwww!!!!

Posted by Devinaaaaaa on July 17, 2010 at 06:40 PM EDT #

of course i wood want 2 b aria cuz i heart her style and ezra is hot times 10 and the dress /outfit she wore 2 home coming is gorgeous. if every 1 is wondering if emily is dead she isn't she can't b it's only the 6th episode so she can't be dead

Posted by aria luver on July 17, 2010 at 09:49 PM EDT #

If I could be any character....hmm well not Toby because if you people read the books HE DIES! Not Jenna because again if you read the books SHE DIES! Hanna is my favorite in the books but not so much in the show. I like Spencer and Aria so I think I would like to be Aria. Her parents do split up and Byron goes with Merideth and Ella goes out with Xaviour..But I don't know if they will put Xaviour in the show. But then again Spencer's parents seporate soo....I would like to be Aria because shes with Ezra for a bit then goes out with Sean , and yes thats Hanna's boyfriend.. :) Kisses Iz!

Posted by Izzy on July 18, 2010 at 12:10 AM EDT #

But why Aria I mean come on is it always because of Ezra that you people like Aria. All the girls get to kiss a guy and your basing your judgment on the first guy you see. Like what if Isaac or Andrew or Noel or Mike are way cuter, but if your gonna change your character later that's cool too. LOL LOL LOL It felt sooooo weird but I don't know why.

Posted by Julia on July 18, 2010 at 01:23 PM EDT #

sara shepard in the book heartless dont you think that it is offensive if a person takes ritalin

Posted by avery zupanc on July 18, 2010 at 02:45 PM EDT #

Um I'm not Sara but if you read the question at the top and all the comments your actually kinda have to say which character you want to be. I think how you ask her questions is by joining the PLL fan club on facebook. But that's just a guess.

Posted by Julia on July 18, 2010 at 03:03 PM EDT #

I would totally want to be Spencer. She and i are so alike, i think it would be fun! ---dANIELLa <3

Posted by DaniellaLove on July 18, 2010 at 03:55 PM EDT #

If you read my first comment I like Spencer too, just like you me and Spencer are also sooooo alike. She is totally my fav. and if you like her so much you should talk about her in the Heartless section.

Posted by Julia on July 18, 2010 at 04:24 PM EDT #

brittany the name of emily's sister is carolyn.

Posted by DeDaFeWa on July 18, 2010 at 04:36 PM EDT #

Spencer or Aria. I love them both :)

Posted by Bridgit on July 18, 2010 at 05:02 PM EDT #

Why?

Posted by Julia on July 18, 2010 at 05:28 PM EDT #

I mean like why Spencer and Aria, my reason for liking Spencer is because she's smart, she acts, she's fashionable and she's kinda sporty, so why do you like Spencer an Aria? If you have your reasons and you just don't want to tell me say so that's cool to.

Sorry didn't mean to post that twice, something happened to my comp. and it got all nyeeeh.

Posted by Julia on July 18, 2010 at 05:42 PM EDT #

iWould like to play 'A.' Why? Like iSaid before, A isn't all bad. She's just teaching the pretty little liars a lesson or two. :)

Posted by Allison on July 18, 2010 at 06:15 PM EDT #

I think A isnt all tht bad but wut i really want 2 no is if Ali really is dead cuz she is relly pretty and its hard 2 believe someone woud kill a pretty girl if they didnt h8 her

Posted by Alison lover on July 18, 2010 at 07:00 PM EDT #

Um if you want to know I'll tell you but I won't say anything besides this: Ali isn't really dead she has a twin.

Posted by Julia on July 18, 2010 at 08:08 PM EDT #

Courtney cuz she was amazing.

Posted by Marie on July 18, 2010 at 08:52 PM EDT #

Did anyone read The Visibles by Sara Shepard?

Posted by Marie on July 18, 2010 at 09:15 PM EDT #

No, and what do you mean visibles.

Posted by Julia on July 18, 2010 at 10:46 PM EDT #

Okay no offence but @Julia , you don't run the site and people can say who their favorite character is without putting why if they want to. I read the books and watch the show and just because I said I like Hanna in the books and Aria in the show doesn't mean I have to explain myself to you and it's rude for you to say that people have to or can't like that person without a reason. And I didn't just say I liked Aria because of Ezra , but everyone thinks he's hot so go somewheres. And btw , why are you on here so much...got no friends???

Posted by Izzy on July 18, 2010 at 11:19 PM EDT #

If i could be a character on PLL, i would want to be Aria! I love her so much, on the show & books! She is sooo pretty and smart, and we both love english/reading! :D Also, Aria gets Ezra then Sean! :D

Posted by Margi on July 19, 2010 at 09:06 AM EDT #

If I wanted 2 b a character it would b ARIA!! She's so confident and mature 4 her age. And her style is UHHHH-MAZZZING; her dress in the first episode for Allisons funeral was beautiful. I absolutley loved the lace leggings. If your reading this Sara Shepard: Your books are so amazing. I just started reading the series. BTW guys who is Ezra and Sean ? %) -Maggy (Peace Out!)

Posted by Maggy on July 19, 2010 at 10:44 AM EDT #

I WOULD WANT TO BE HANNA SHE IS POPULAR AND PRETTY

Posted by PLLLOVER on July 19, 2010 at 12:39 PM EDT #

EZRA IS ARIA'S TEACHER OR EX BF AND SEAN IS HANNA'S BF DUH!!!

Posted by PLLLOVER on July 19, 2010 at 12:40 PM EDT #

Aria or spencer i love them!!!!

Posted by Bailey;) on July 19, 2010 at 02:07 PM EDT #

what are the visibles i have never heard of it but it sounds pretty cool is it better or worse than pretty little liars.

Posted by DeDaFeWa on July 19, 2010 at 03:55 PM EDT #

Haha Julia, yea i love Spencer! ---dANIELLa <3

Posted by DaniellaLove on July 19, 2010 at 08:44 PM EDT #

I would either be Spencer or Aria. I would be Spencer because she is an overacheiver and also sporty, just like me! I would be Aria because she is gorggg. and is dating Mr. Fitz who is also gorgg. and she is more mature than most of her grade like me :)

Posted by Chrissy on July 19, 2010 at 09:13 PM EDT #

If I were to appear on the show, i would really want to be the young Hanna from the book...but in the show, i think i could pull off being Emily's evil cousin in the 4th book, Unbelievable. =]

Posted by hannah..my real name on July 20, 2010 at 02:02 AM EDT #

Pllluver4eva sry but ura freak. Anyway I wud so b ARIA cuz I luv how she's wierd and unique. And she's sooo pretty well on the show( the models they used on the books weren't so pretty). She's also gets like all the guys- Noel Kahn , ezra, and Sean!

Posted by Niki on July 25, 2010 at 04:11 PM EDT #

If i could be any of people on the show, I would most likely be Aria. Not because she has cool clothes or gets to kiss Ezra; I would be her because I was put in the same situation with my parents. Just without all the secrets. Oh and by the way guys, it's not very nice to ruin the books. I haven't got to read the yet.
