Ray revealed that she only found out that she was Charles back in June. However, the actress previously hinted that Cece, her character, might have some idea who "A" really is.

The actress also recounted the time when she got the script for the summer finale episode. At that time in June, she read the script while she was at her apartment and received a text from King herself. The latter asked her if she already read the script in its entirety and when she did, she was shocked to find out that Charles is Cece.

Meanwhile, Ray also talked about the transgender twist in the episode and said that it was something that she plotted out with King. According to her, in the big reveal, Charles, Charlotte and Cece were all present.

When the liars first saw who was wearing the hoodie that was Ray's character as Cece. However, when she started telling sad stories about her childhood that was Charlotte. The evilest of them all is her character as Charles who is a combination of Cece and Charlotte.

In other news, King hinted on the possibility of "Pretty Little Liars" being adapted for the big screen. While speaking with Variety, King said that not only is she open to the idea, she would also love for the show to be extended until season 8.
