Pretty Little Liars Week: Spotlight- Ashley Benson!
We’re just 2 days away from the premiere of PLL season 5 and today’s spotlight is on Ashley Benson, who plays Hannah Marin!
Haleb
Fans are dying to know what will happen on the Haleb front now that Caleb is returning from Ravenswood.
E! Online caught up with Ashley Benson, who admitted that things are going to be pretty rocky for the couple!
“I think in the beginning it’s going to be a little bit difficult,” Benson explained. “Caleb now knows that Travis is her boyfriend, and for Hanna, she finally moved on and accepted that she can be with somebody else.”
But relationship or not, that doesn’t mean we won’t have some really great Haleb moments to look forward to in season 5. Benson teased that the exes will share a very “fun” story line together. Actor Tyler Blackburn reveals that it will be very much like “Batman and Robin.”
Hmm… does that mean Caleb will come back to town, realize Ali is alive and jump right into trying to help his ex find out who A is? Will he even deal with what happened while he was in Ravenswood. Will Miranda’s death be brought up at all? And what about his feelings for the ghost? I feel like everything needs to be put out in the open before fans can accept the idea of these two getting back together as a couple. But I don’t mind some fun for the duo. They’ve had such a tough year, maybe crime solving like superhero’s will be a good change of pace!
Either way, the cards are in your favor Haleb shippers as Benson also wants Caleb and Hannah to get back together already!
Dark Hannah
As for Hannah’s character, she’s going to take a dark turn now that Alison is back in town.
“This year she’s going to go through kind of a dark phase. She kind of loses who she is and doesn’t really know who she is. She tried to be like Alison and now that Alison’s back she doesn’t want to be like that anymore. She feels like she’s been putting on a front for the past few years,” Benson explained to Ok! Magazine, adding that her character will turn to drinking as an alternative.
“I love [playing the edgier Hanna] because I want to be in jeans, a t-shirt, and boots, and flats, and shoes rather than heels running around in the jungle about to break my ankle,” she said. Although it might be a little hard for viewers to get used to this new girl without her pumps and her floral prints.
Keeping Up With Ashley Benson
The starlet is gearing up for the premiere of season 5 by doing lots of press. She caught up with HLN recently and played their deal breakers game. Some of her dating deal breakers are guys who don’t put down the seat, screen her calls, don’t get along with her friends, forget her birthday, or lack a sense of humor.
She doesn’t mind guys who don’t watch PLL, don’t follow her on Twitter, look better than her, or have a lot of girlfriends.
She was also spotted roaming the streets of L.A with on-again-off-again boyfriend Ryan Good. Unfortunately, she was too engrossed in her phone to give him any sort of attention, which he didn’t seem to mind. Business is business and we’re sure the ex-Justin Bieber stylist understands!

When Does ‘Manifest’ Season 4 Part 2 Release on Netflix?

Are you ready for Flight 828 to make its final descent?
On April 7, Netflix revealed the release date for the second half of the plane drama, along with a new teaser trailer to hold fans over.
Manifest Season 4 Part 2—all 10 episodes—will land on the streamer on Friday, June 2, 2023. For those that are keeping score, it’s a year ahead of the June 2, 2024 Death Date (so does this mean they find a way to beat it?!).
Netflix typically releases new episodes at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time, which means it will drop at 3:00 am Eastern and 2:00 am CT.
And according to the teaser trailer, things are just as ominous as we expected when we saw the final shot of Season 4 Part 1 of Angelina bringing forth destruction via volcanic fissures.
“The world is ending and we know when,” Josh Dallas’ Ben Stone remarks in the trailer as everyone emphasizes June 2 numerous times.
Here’s the full synopsis for the forthcoming final set of episodes.
“A mysterious accident delivers ominous warnings on a biblical scale that will further jeopardize the livelihood of all the passengers,” the synopsis reads. “As Michaela [Melissa Roxburgh] grieves the loss of her beloved husband Zeke [Matt Long], she must team up with her old flame Jared [J.R. Ramirez] to find new methods to investigate Callings.”
The end may be near, but there’s still plenty of story left to tell—and we hope that they do right by the ending, giving a satisfactory conclusion to longtime fans who have rallied behind the series from day 1 when it was still on NBC.
Catch up on all of our Manifest reviews leading up to the final season right here.

Per TVLine, the season will consist of another 10 episodes!
For those who need a bit of a refresher, there’s plenty of drama that we’re going to dive right into. At the end of season 2, it was revealed that Bill is Isaac’s father (a bombshell revelation if I’m being honest), Noreen gave birth to her daughter and decided to stay in Serenity, Dana Sue decided to give Ronnie another shot, Helen suffered a miscarriage before cozying up to Erik and getting proposed to by true love Ryan, and finally, a bump in the road for Maddie and Cal’s relationship following his angry outburst.

All in all, there’s plenty to address in this small yet quaint and charming town, so get ready to pour it out!
