Does Her Acting Improve?


I just started watching PLL, I'm currently at the start of the 2nd season. If Shay wasn't such eye candy, I would skip her scenes. Her acting is atrocious and Emily's lack of depth is cringeworthy. I do try to give actors the benefit of the doubt if the writing is sucky.

Does Shay's acting improve later on in later seasons?

Angelina Jolie. Liz Taylor. Bette Davis. Charlize Theron. Mae West.

Not really. I never thought she was a good actress but I think it got worse. Or the show did. I just want to skip every of her scenes. Beauty is not enough, she can't act.

Shay Is defently the weakest actress on show.In scenes with Sasha Pieterse Sasha
takes control of them.

Despite that I always like Emily scenes more than say Aria.And at times I would rather watch Emily scenes over Hanna scenes.

Shay Is helped by fact Emily Is written as more likable than Aria.

A bit yes, but she's still the weakest if the main cast.

I strongly disagree! Sure, she's written as a very likeable character. But I think she pulls off Emily really well! She's shy, yet has a bolder side to her as well. The fact that she's gorgeous makes her insecure and mousy ways a bit less believable. But she's made me develop a soft spot for Emily. Aria on the other hand, she annoys the hell out of me. The girl who plays her can't act. But then again, she's playing a teenage girl. Those can be annoying from time to time.
