To some, the show’s success has come as a surprise, but Harding foresaw its appeal, if not the scope of its audience. "The books already had a following, but the show’s popularity has grown so quickly beyond the ‘tween’ demographic,” he says. "It’s crazy when a guy approaches me and says, ‘Yo, I love your show.’ ”
Melissa: Have any juicy scoop to share about the new season of Pretty Little Liars?

Emma: Got anything on what's going on for Fitz when Pretty Little Liars comes back?
A new job! While Ian Harding wouldn't tell us exactly what Fitz's new job is, he would tease that it's in the "teaching realm." As for his romance with Aria? Hot and heavy and out in the open! Another romance going very strong in season three? Toby and Spencer! But they will be dealing with a revenge-seeking Jenna. Ruh-roh!
We are glad to offer you an exclusive interview with Ian Harding. I would like to say thank you to Ian for answering these questions, and to Sarah and my really good friend Nat which maintains the official fan site for Ian IanHardingFan.com, who helped to make this all real.
In school our History teacher told us a story of his childhood. Even before the date when the world heard the word "perestroika” from our leader Gorbachev and Berlin Wall was breached, he had visited Berlin with a "friendship train” – a conducted tour of high school students to the countries of the socialist camp. The communication was difficult, as, apart from a language barrier, there were differences in sets of mind and world views. However, the youth is persistent and curious, and the possibility to understand the others is worth the efforts!
Many years have passed, the world has changed. 21-st century people are under pressure of terrorist threats, natural disasters, crisis... It makes us estranged and weak.
But then the Internet and social networks were invented. It seems, that the world got closer to everyone, but the communication problems reappear, and nowadays – in a virtual space.
But it’s still worth it, right? Today it is important to understand the others.
