Lucy Hale has revealed what her current equation is with her old co-stars on Pretty Little Liars, the show that made her a star.
The 34-year-old shot to fame on the smash hit teen drama alongside Troian Bellisario, Ashley Benson, Shay Mitchell and Sasha Pieterse.
Pretty Little Liars ran from 2010 until 2017, first on ABC Family and then on Freeform, and acquired a devoted fanbase in the process.
Now, more than half a decade after the series finale aired, Lucy has disclosed whether she maintained a rapport with her castmates.
‘From the OG version, I talk to all of them. At different points in our lives, we’ve intersected and reconnected, but we all keep in touch,’ she told E! News.

Specifically, Lucy divulged that she recently enjoyed a meet-up with Ashley shortly before the latter delivered her firstborn child.
‘I ran into her a couple months ago, and she looked and felt better than ever, and I’m just happy,’ said Lucy, recalling that Ashley ‘always talked about wanting kids. It makes the most sense. I’m so happy for her.’
Of her general bond with her co-stars, she pointed out: ‘We spent so much of our lives on that show. and it kickstarted all of our careers.’
She harbors ‘so much gratitude’ and ‘so much love’ for her time on the show with the other actresses, and enjoys seeing them ‘entering these new chapters of their lives.’
Although the original series has drawn to a close, the franchise has soldiered on and now has a spin-off called Pretty Little Liars: Summer School on Max.
Summer School boasts a whole new cast, sprinkled with up-and-coming actresses such as Bailee Madison, Maia Reficco, Chandler Kinney and Zaria.
But it has now been suggested that Lucy, one of the top stars of the original Pretty Little Lies universe, may lend her luster to the new series.

A publicity still for Summer School was posted to its Instagram page, as well as the Max Instagram page, with the caption: ‘It’s gonna be A killer summer.’
The letter A was not only capitalized but also highlighted in a red box, in an obvious reference to the mystery villain A from the original series.
A is a stalker who spends the original show sending anonymous letters to the Liars, a group of schoolgirls in the posh fictional town of Rosewood, Pennsylvania.
Lucy, who played the sensitive and artsy Aria Montgomery on the original show, wrote in the comments: ‘Kinda making me want to go back to school?’
