‘Pretty Little Liars’ season 4 spoilers: Soap star to lend Shay Mitchell a hand

If there are two things that we took from Tuesday night’s “Pretty Little Liars” episode when it came to Shay Mitchell’s Emily, they were as follows: She really wants to make the Olympics (or at least Stanford) and be the next Missy Franklin, and she really needs to not listen to Shana anymore.

While we don’t know just yet whether or not the following will really help her at all with the latter, The Hollywood Reporter claims that Kamar de los Reyes (of “One Life to Live” fame) is going to be guest-starring in at least one episode of the ABC Family drama’s fourth season, playing a swim coach who has a knack for making his students not only successful, but also Olympians. This doesn’t just benefit Emily, but it also helps her girlfriend Paige who is looking to run away with her in an effort to start a better life away from Rosewood and “A’s” antics.

Unfortunately for Emily, she is still firmly mired in everything right now when it comes to the world of “A.” Red Coat’s arrival as of late has definitely complicated things as there is still no word as to whether or not they really saw Alison the night of the fire, or if it was some sort of collective mirage. Either way, it’s a pretty frightening sight.

What do you think about this casting, and are you looking forward to see what this character in particular brings to the show. We want to hear some more of your thoughts below!
