Mr. Clayton, yes they do LMFAO. They do do things to please the fans. I'm not sure if you're aware, but I posed a link on the Fresh Meat page of a video where Lucy spoiled who A was and she said (and I quote): "Ian, who plays Ezra.  He was A, the old A" and when someone gasped, Lucy immediately looked shocked and said "OH CRAP!" [].

This proves that Ezra WAS supposed to be A, but the writers changed their minds when fans were throwing a shit fit.

Also, Oliver Goldstick did an interview with TV Line in January 2013 [], and I'm sure this will also prove that the writers DO do things to please the fans.

For starters, he was asked "I’ve asked you before and I’ll ask you again: Are you absolutely, positively certain that Toby is really that bad of a guy?" .. He said (and this is copied and pasted from the interview): "Oh yes! You got it! Very much. We’re going down a path [with Toby] and you need to know that [he] has a lot of strong motivation for wanting to take down these girls. It’s the price [they have] to pay for him taking the fall for a crime he didn’t do. This has always been present, but he’s been very good at hiding it." Last I checked, "protecting someone" and "trying to get answers" is not trying to take down the girls.

Also, the second question asked: "He seemed more evil than ever in the premiere. Why is he so hell-bent on hurting the Liars now?" and Oliver said (again, copied and pasted): "I think it’s Mona’s return. That’s not a coincidence. We know that Mona’s a powerful person; we know that she has no off-switch in her mind. The idea now really is that Mona’s back, Toby’s in black and Byron may be wacked! [Laughs] That’s how we started the season." ... Again, see my explanation above:  Toby apparently was NOT hell-bent on hurting the Liars, since he was "protecting them". Can you say BS copout?

Regarding Malcolm being Ezra's child, Oliver was asked: "Lastly, talk a little about how this major baby secret will effect “Ezria” throughout the remainder of Season 3." and Oliver said "It will have a major impact on their relationship. It will be the biggest hurdle they’ve had to jump — even larger than having to tell her parents [about their relationship] last season. Now we’re dealing with something internal between them — and the fact is that [this secret involves] another woman in Ezra’s life. It’s not necessarily a love triangle, but there is a child. Therefore, he’s connected to someone else in a very deep way. So, this will force their relationship to grow up very quickly." --- Malcolm wasn't even Ezra's, so the child was irrelevant. I'm pretty damn sure they had planned on making Malcolm Ezra's son, but once again: Ezrians threw a shit fit.

And another interview of Oliver from TV Line regarding the 3x13 Halloween episode []: he was asked, "IS TOBY AS EVIL AS HE NOW SEEMS?" and he said "“Yes. Yes. You’re going to see things in 3b and understand where he’s coming from. You’re going to realize that Toby’s axe to grind is not a small hatchet — it might actually be quite large. You know why he hated Alison, but he may have a reason to dislike her entire posse.” --- AGAIN, protecting them and "trying to get answers" is not them disliking the Liars.

THIS is why the show has gone downhill: because the writers constantly change shit to please fans (whether it's Paily, Spoby, or especially Ezria fans).
