The list of guest characters reveals that Pretty Little Liars actress Ashley Benson will be playing Carly – and we’re sure it’s not a coincidence that this is also! the name of Barney’s half sister.
We are not surprised that Barney would be encouraging Ted to date his sister, considering how much he likes Ted and probably wants him in the family. But Carly’s appearance at this point in the season (and the fact that she and Ted have nothing in common) sadly seems to put an end to the popular fan theory that Carly would indeed turn out to be the mother.
Still, we’re excited to see Benson appear on How I Met Your Mother!
