If you’ve never fully bought the story about why Alison DiLaurentis disappeared for two years without warning—supposedly, because she was on the run after being threatened and blackmailed into silence by an anonymous “A”—then you’ll probably like this fan theory. According to Cosmopolitan, a previously debunked PLL theory has come back to life: one that suggests Ali was in hiding for so long because she was actually pregnant!
Wait, there’s more.
Ali’s alleged baby daddy is none other than former Rosewood villain, Detective Darren Wilden (say it with us, “ewwww!”). It makes sense since we already know that both he and Ezra were in Cape May when Ali and her family vacationed there, but Ezra has always maintained that he and Ali didn’t have a sexual relationship. Ali herself may have let the secret slip when she wrote in her diary that she was “late” and that she was worried about “Beach Hottie” finding out.
Fast forward about seven or eight years, Ali was being haunted by the ghost of the supposed father of her child. And just who do we think that child is? Eliza, the Amish girl who just happens to be in love with her “Alison” doll.
The theory goes deep into the archives, explaining that “Eliza” was the name of an Audrey Hepburn character in the ’60s—which is mind-blowing if you remember that Ali, aka Holly Golightly, was a huge Audrey fan.
Still, some PLL fans are convinced that Eliza might be a ghost, hinting that the show’s Ravenswood ties were never completely severed.
With the show coming to an end (finally!) in April of next year, we’re going crazy trying to uncover every last secret the dark, torturous small town of Rosewood has been keeping from us for the last six years. No theory is too absurd!
