‘Pretty Little Liars’ season 3 spoilers: Jason’s arc beyond the winter premiere is…

While Jason had a role on the first half of “Pretty Little Liars” season 3, it is also pretty fair to say that we wish we had seen far more of him than we actually did during the summer months. Thankfully, we’re learning already that Drew Van Acker is going to have plenty to do for the episodes ahead, and much of it is going to do with the characters in Rosewood trying to answer just one simple question: what in the world is this guy up to?

As a way to help carve out some sort of answer to this, executive producer Oliver Goldstick had the following to say in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter leading up to the winter premiere Tuesday night:

“We’re trying to raise the question of why Jason is resurfacing in Rosewood. He’s been implicated in the murder of his sister; there certainly was something going on between he and Alison that was dark and twisted. The idea has always been, for us and for the girls as well, to question Jason’s actions: We don’t know if it’s to cover his tracks or is he trying to unearth something to help reveal and expose what happened to Alison. It’s an ongoing question for us whether Jason is a bad guy or a good guy. That’s an answer that will come in 3B.”

From a personal standpoint, we’ve always tried to envision Jason as someone fighting for good rather than evil, though then again this may be coming as a result of us just wanting somebody to root for beyond the four leading ladies on this show … which is hard to do considering that no one can really ever be trusted.

What do you think is going on with Alison DiLaurentis’ older brother? If you want to check out another sneak peek from Tuesday’s episode, you can do so here.
