Holly asked everyone on twitter if they found her suitable in a new series for ABC "Pretty Little Liars" due to hit the ABC channel in June 2010. Holly would be playing the role of Aria's mother - I think that was what she stated anyway. Aria comes home from Iceland after having spent some time with her father and has discovered that he has an affair with another woman and now has to keep her mom from finding out. Holly has been sworn to secrecy over the weekend despite everyone asking whether she will take on the role or not so I think everyone is on pins and needles right now. Personally, I think Holly would be good on that show and it's a great storyline to be involved in. I think she should do it  At some point there was some speculation from her site whether she'd be convincing as a Mom of a 16-year-old, but again, I think she would. She's a great actress, she can pull it off. What do you think? - Sorry if this topic is already here but I looked through them and didn't find one so I took a chance. |

Nope, it wasn't up yet . I was actually just about to post something about it lol. You beat me too it! haha. Anyway, I agree. It'd be great to see Holly in a new project, and I'm sure she'd do a great job with the role. It'll be interesting to see if she took the role or not. I was reading her tweets, and she seemed to have some doubts about leaving her family, especially Kelley (since he's obviously still young). And as much as I would like to see her back on TV, if she does decide she'll be happier staying home with her boys, I'll be happy for her . But I'm still crossing my fingers for it to work out! Hopefully we'll find out soon. |

I think she'll take a long time to decide about loeaving her boys but some time you have to cut the apron strings and I can hope that she will it would be great to see her playing something new and challenging. IS there any info on this show?

Yes there is, you can google it. The books are very popular. Pretty Little Liars is what the show is called.

IS there any info on this show? Actually, she can't take a long time to decide apparently. When she was on twittering talking about it she seemed to be stressing because she needed to decide by "tomorrow" (which would be yesterday). So she must have made her decision. I personally think she decided to take it. I feel like if they're having her keep quiet til Monday, that probably means she has some involvement to keep quiet. You know? But I guess only time will tell! We'll find out soon. |

Yes, I agree. I think she's taking it and I'm excited. I so wanna watch the show. I will anyway but now I have all the more reason...that is if Holly's in it "I would be Lucy's mommy, can't you see the resemblance?" those were her words of the possible role. I'll be the first to admit, I can! She really should take it. It'd be awesome seeing her as Mom of a 16-year-old. She's 36 now so she'd only have to be 20 when she had Aria....I think it would all work out. I'm crossing my fingers I saw this on IMDB: From The Ausiello Files, EW: "I’m officially getting old. I know this because Holly Marie Combs has just been cast as the mother of a teenager! Sources confirm to me exclusively that the ex-Charmed one is joining ABC Family’s upcoming drama, Pretty Little Liars, as the mother of Lucy Hale’s Aria. Liars, based on the popular series of young adult novels, follows four teen girls — Aria (Hale), Emily (Shay Mitchell), Hanna (Ashley Benson), and Spencer (Trojan Bellisario) — who have been hiding a deep, dark secret since the sixth grade. Chad Lowe was recently cast as Aria’s father (and Combs’ TV hubby). Liars is set to debut on June 8 at 8 pm/ET." Here's the link: ausiellofiles.ew.com/2010/04/10/holly-marie-combs-pretty-little-liars/It's official, Holly is joining the cast of Pretty Little Liars after all This is awesome news. I can't wait to see the show now well..unless EW is an unreliable source that is.. The actress who were supposed to play Ella was replaced by Holly. Chad Lowe replaced Alexis Denistof (or however his lastname is spelt) and they decided to replace the actress for Aria's Mom as well. They're going to reshoot the pilot scenes with Holly and Chad as Aria's parents |

Ahhh I'm so excited! I can't wait til June 8th . There's no doubt in my mind that Holly will be amazing in it. I will definitely be watching this show. Thanks for confirming this for us Peanut! I appreciate it. And I agree, EW should be a reliable source . It looks like our prediction of her taking it was right after all. |

I just saw this news as well. I knew she was taking it It's fine. I will watch it too..but I'm all the way in Europe..I'll have to get someone to record it for me or something I dunno. Edit: I googled around and found something else. Lucy plays Aria Montgomery, a girl whose secret is that she's hiding her dad's affair with a college student from her mom. (That's Holly) - I think that show will rock the world. |

I know!!! I'm pretty sure it's a perfect role for her. Lucy tweeted Holly saying: "@hdonoho HEYYYY mommmaaaa. cant wait to meet you!" to which Holly's reply was: "@lucyyhale Hiya cute one. I will see you tomorrow. We're gonna have some fun!"
I'm stoked about this!

This is so exciting!! I'm sure Holly will be amazing in it. No doubt in my mind.
Does anyone know how big of a role Aria's mom has? I know Holly isn't the main character, but I'm wondering if its still a very large role.
