Max’s Pretty Little Liars: Summer School Should Leave the Original Behind

has swept viewers away to explore the story of another small Pennsylvanian town, Millwood, where secrets hide in the shadows and five girls—Imogen , Tabby , Noa , Mouse , and Faran —are forced to face the consequences for actions set in stone long before they were ever even thought of. Though the series has left Rosewood behind, it continues to include nods to the original, either in the form of Rosewood mentions or brief allusions to and/or appearances from existing characters.

First came Imogen and Tabby’s road trip to Rosewood and the Radley Hotel, formerly Radley Sanitarium, and the inclusion of Eddie Lamb. As fans know, Eddie disappeared duringSeason 5, never to be seen again. He knew things he shouldn’t, but it’s unclear what exactly happened to him. In addition to recasting the character,ignores that aspect of the canon, saying that Eddie continued working at the sanitarium and then continued working for the hotel.

Dropping in Aria and Ezra, with Imogen calling them the “perfect” couple, inadvertently weakened the important messages captured in the episodes prior, from Tabby’s much older boss Wes attempting to groom her with inappropriate passes and comments to the outright depiction of monsters like Chip and Tom Beasley . If the show hadn’t tried so hard to include callbacks to the original, this clumsy mixed-messaging would have been avoided., we’re witnessing an even larger issue.

Those in charge have all but said this is the same Dr. Sullivan that we saw in Rosewood , but it’s not. You can’t fundamentally change characters from the original material like Dr. Sullivan and/or ignore what came before like with Eddie Lamb and simultaneously claim this exists in the same universe. So, they should have just created a character of their own to do Sullivan’s arc with, as the Sullivan we know and adore would never betray these Liars in such a horrible way.
