Mona quickly became one of the creepiest characters on "Pretty Little Liars," and this clip reveals that Parrish had originally signed up for only one episode. "I didn't find out until we shot the finale that I was going to be A," Parrish says. Amazing how she went from a single appearance to a show regular — and such an integral one! Parrish was hoping it would play out that way, though, since Mona was A in the books.

Show creator and producer I. Marlene King goes on to explain the inner workings of Mona's sick mind: "As the game went along and she realized how powerful she felt manipulating these girls, then she became darker and darker, and more obsessed with the game ... and the stakes got higher." Mona's rapid change from geek to cool girl to twisted tormentor fascinated fans, and these DVD extras are sure to give major insight into how the show's writers sculpted Mona's mentality.
Emily and Hanna discuss Mona:
