Pretty Little Liars could’ve ended an entirely different way than what we saw on Tuesday night.

Star Troian Bellisario, who played evil twin Alex Drake aka A.D., opened up about the original ending the writers had in mind.

“Originally — I don’t know if I’m supposed to say this — but I think originally the ending was supposed to be a little bit different where Alex had kind of gotten away with it a little bit more,” she says. “And the only person that was onto her was Toby.”

But that definitely didn’t happen.

Troian adds, “I think that ultimately would’ve left things too much up in the air and we would’ve been worried for Spencer.”

“It was really fun because this way, Spencer got a happy ending, and all the girls got a happy ending, and Alex got to be with her family – which is great, but also in a little bit of a tricky situation.”

Just imagine if the original ending was what happened — we’d have an entirely different set up for a potential spinoff!
