One of the actresses at the centre of Pretty Little Liars' lesbian storyline has revealed some surprising new details about the couples' on-screen future.
Speaking to Hollywood Life, Bianca Lawson – who plays Maya in the hit U.S. TV show – says it won't necessarily be plain sailing for the pair.
“There are other things, independent of that situation, that will
come in and create tension,” Lawson revealed. That’s not going to be
their biggest hurdle.”
However, despite the drama, Lawson said that the difficulties make the couple closer.
“[The problems] strengthen
and deepen their relationship. It’s like a lot of relationships: It
grows and sprouts and is amazing, but nothing can stay the same forever.
There will be challenges.”
Earlier this month, Shay Mitchell – the 24
year-old who plays Emily in the hit ABC Family
show – says her gay character has impacted positively on teenagers.
In a new interview with Canada’s Fashion Magazine, she said: “I was
out for dinner last night and this girl came up to me in the washroom
and said, ‘Hey, I just want to tell you you’ve done a lot for the
lesbian and gay community, and I think your character is amazing, and
[so is] the way they’re handling it,’” she says.
