^ Well we did do a much different take on Ashley. We wanted her and Hanna to have a great Mother/Daughter relationship so Hanna could have someone from her family to rely and trust (which isn't really a key factor in the books). And just an absolutely amazing mother/daughter relationship in general. They love each-other so much and would do anything for each-other. And another reason we made Pam mean in the first season was because we wanted more drama surrounding the Emily coming out storyline and how she learns to accept herself and that involves Pam eventually learning to accept it too.
