I'm finding the love interest plots on this show generally confusing and weirdly unsatisfying.
SPENCER: Liked Diego, he seemed interesting, but wtf happened to Wren. For the first few episodes it was all "Look how nice Wren is and how much he digs Spencer, coming into her house all drunk and sweet" but now they've totally dropped him for this new guy.
EMILY: Same sort of thing. First few eps I thought it was going to be a bit of a triangle between Maya, Emily and her boyfriend whose name I cannot remember. But then Toby jumps in and it gets all weird and confusing. Is Toby supposed to be a love interest? And, at least in this episode, they've totally dropped the whole Lesbian storyline apart from Hanna seeing the photo, which is kinda disappointing.
HANNA: Yeah, Sean has sort of passed me by, maybe it's just his acting, but this character means nothing to me, he feels like an extra and I'd rather know more about Hanna's relationship with Alison, her transformation and her Dad
@Claire, and others: The show is based on the books, that's all. If you think it will be a direct recitation of those novels, prepare to be let down -- many, many shows (True Blood, The Vampire Diaries) take general ideas from a book and then veer off in their own creative directions.
Enjoy the series for what it is and don't make yourself crazy by comparing it to the books.

I personally don't like how the show differs so greatly from the books. So many important details have changed or just been written out altogether. In the books Hanna is forced to work at a Burn/Plastic Surgery Clinic which leads to other revelations. This whole think with the shrink guy isn't in the books at all! And who is Alex? He isn't mentioned in the books at all! Also, I hate Toby. He's a creep. From reading the books, I know stuff and I just hope the show covers it too and doesn't cut it out to avoid touchy subjects.
i agree with this reveiw,
SPENCER: i enjoyed spencers story more than aria's because it gave the viewers a true and realistic glance into spencers family life.I hate to admit it but i like that diego guy alot, he gets spencer alot and thats a good thing, but i know i am not the only still rooting for WRENCER, am i?
HANNA: Hanna's story didnt make sense to me and didnt fit in the episode at all. Am i the only one thinking that guy was toby's shrink? Kinda happy that Sean and Hanna are together, the two seem to be the only normal couple on the show, and are relatable to the audience.
Aria: Ugh where do i start. Loved this episode because of them two. It was so heartbreaking to see them try to make sense of what they feel for each other,but when they come to some common ground effing A just comes out of nowhere and rips them apart. D**n near cried seeing the look on ezra's face after he told her about the text. Gosh i hate it when my fav couples break up, and this one is definately
Spencer: You know how I feel about hope. It breeds eternal misery.

I did like spencer's storyline, but wren being out of the picture so soon, that I don't like.
it made sense ezra would ask aria to leave, she put his carreer in jeopardy, or at least that's what is logical he'd think
everytime Emily is on the screen, I roll my eye-balls, she's so one-dimensional, cliché and the worst actress of them all.
am I the only one who found that dentist office scene confusing?
