Bellisario, 39, said of the ending, “I wish that we had gotten to introduce Alex [Drake] a lot earlier. My only frustration was that it felt like a total bait-and-switch because we waited until the very last episode. So it wasn’t as fun, I imagine, for audience members as when it was CeCe Drake.”
She suggested that it would have been more satisfying if CeCe was the last antagonist because viewers “could kind of understand the motivations” and “knew the character.”
