Get to Know: Lucy Hale

With the popularity of the hit ABC Family show, "Pretty Little Liars" on the rise, you will be seeing actress Lucy Hale's face everywhere. Hale first appeared on the reality show American Juniors in 2003. She was part of the vocal quintet formed with the top 5 finishers. This was followed by guest roles on shows such as Drake & Josh, Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, The O.C., and How I Met Your Mother. She appeared in two episodes of the Disney show Wizards of Waverly Place.

According to Teen Vogue: "Lucy Hale positively swears she's not a typical Hollywood actress. 'I've only been living here for a few years. I never thought about acting when I lived in Memphis—actually, pretty much the opposite. I wanted to be a singer,' Lucy reveals. 'Someone randomly suggested I audition for a few things. I thought, Why not? And I got a role on [Nickelodeon's] Drake & Josh. It was literally just a sentence, but I was so excited to be an actress.'"

Apart from playing her role as A on Pretty Little Liars, some of her favorite hobbies includes listening to music. Lucy loves Lady Antebellum, and one of her favorite singers is Taylor Swift. Next up for Lucy is Scream 4, due out in April, in which she appears alongside a cavalcade of fellow It girls: Emma Roberts, Shenae Grimes, and Aimee Teegarden. Will you check it out? Let us know!

Big Shows = Big Season

January marks the beginning of many new shows and many new seasons of our favorite shows. There's so many that it is definitely hard to keep track! But don't worry, we've got ya covered. Here are some of our picks for some tune-in worthy premieres. Be sure to tell us what you think by dropping a line below!

Pretty Little Liars - This super-addicting show premiers tonight on ABC Family at 7:58PM EST. In case you haven't heard of it, here's the basic synopsis: One year ago, Alison, the Queen Bee of their group, disappeared and the girls swore they'd never tell what really happened that night. They thought their secrets would bond them together, but just the opposite is true. Then again, who's to say what the truth is in Rosewood. It seems everyone in town is lying about something.

 

Greek -  Greek, an original series by creator Patrick Sean Smith, is a dramedy set at fictitious Cyprus-Rhodes University, which focuses on the social minefield that is the Greek system. Catch it on ABC Family, right after Pretty Little Liars, at 9PM EST.

Degrassi - We agree, this show definitely goes there. After Degrassi hit the boiling point this summer, a strict new discipline code hovers over all -- but draconian rules and dress codes won't stop the drama. At a high school turned upside-down, you can expect the unexpected... from everyone. Be sure to check it out on Teen Nick.
