I've meant, that real daughter is A. She has every reason to hate Ali and Mrs. D. She tried to kill Ali, because Ali thretened her (Ali was kinda bitchy those days). ANd her identity can be Mona/Paige or someone at the same age.

Here ends real theory, now maybe little improvisation: She was crazy patient at Radley, and escaped that night. Maybe Hastings know about that, so that is why Ali should never turn her back on Hastings (Mrs. D was really close with Mr. H). Hastings could say the truth, but Melissa was blackmailed, also Peter, so they are afraid about ruining the Hastings name.

-- This could be quite crazy twist, and I would really enjoyed that (Marlene, please :) ). Actually, i cannot imagine any other reasons why was Mrs. D protecting A. Only family can stick together like this.
