Don’t panic yet! If you’ve read the Pretty Little Liars books, you’ll know that the character of Ezra Fitz leaves Rosewood after the series fourth instalment. In a recent interview, Ian Harding discusses what he thinks Ezra’s fate will be on the TV show, and also dishes on what it’s like to work with co-star Lucy Hale.

Harding told Da Man Magazine:

“[I’ve only read] up to the fourth book since Ezra disappears after the relationship is discovered… I didn’t want to see when and how I would become unemployed again! TV Ezra is far more fleshed out, seeing as, (for now…) he seems likely to stick around, whereas, in the book version, Ezra leaves one third of the way through book four. The TV writers have to give him more baggage than he carried in the novels.”

When asked about his relationship with co-star Lucy Hale who plays Aria, Harding responded:

“We get along extremely well… We even speak in ‘baby voice’ to each other between takes. It nauseates the crew. She’s a pro, yes, but she has never made me feel like an amateur despite her six-year headstart in the business.”

Considering that the TV show hasn’t followed the books very closely so far (Toby is alive and dating Spencer), we think it’s safe to say that Harding will remain on the show for some time. What do you think?
