Talk:Game On Charles/@comment-26146369-20150326210922

Hi, so, ok my theory has quite a number of holes in it but that's why I'm posting it, so that it can be added to and improved.

Let's start with 4x13. Mrs Grunwal is a smart cookie. She definitely called the Mona situation right. And she knew that 'A' is a man. She also knew that "One of you has been touched by the one Alison fears most".

"Touched". To me that means only one thing. So, let's narrow that down:

Spencer - Wren, Ian, Toby

Aria - Ezra, Jason.

Emily - Ben, Maya, Nate, Paige, Alison.

Hanna - Wasn't there.

Not many names. You can discount Ben, Maya, Nate, Alison & Ian for obvious reasons. Ezra? Maybe. Wren? Could be. Jason? Is he even Jason? Paige? Don't see it.

Next up: 4x17, at the dentist. Hanna goes looking for the sign-in sheet on the day that 'A; must have visited there. Here's the sheet being shredded by 'A' at the end.

Lots of names on there but there's one that draws the eye more than most: C. Cavanaugh. People have said this is a reference to Chris Cavanaugh, who works on the show. Maybe that could have been the assumption then. But it's a different C. that now holds our focus.

Flash forward to 5x13. It's Christmas. Toby's broken his leg. His cast bears writing and ink that looks rather familiar.



5x25 and Spencer and Charles are alone and, let me tell you, the chemistry between them is sizzling. Almost as if she knows him. That she feels him. Similar height to her too. A little taller perhaps. And brown hair.

There's the mysterious absences. His spell on the A-team. Toby the cop. In a position of authority. Wasn't happy that they were arrested. Might have made kidnapping them all a little more difficult perhaps.

Clear motive for revenge too. How about the reason he was so attached to his mother (rather than his father) and her death? Jason employing him for all that building work.The awkward scenes with Alison in his room, wanting to kiss him, him resisting, in flashbacks to before her attack. Did he know? And do you remember how shy and weird Toby was early on? And how much more confident and intense he's become since?

And then. Then. Marlene King says this:

"I would say look for inner strength that matches outer. 'A' is a very strong person."

Well, there's one character and actor that fit that bill.

Alright, so there's the age discrepancy. And the time he was in a wheelchair whilst 'A' was terrorising Hanna. And the desperate search for his mother's killer. There's plenty of holes. But I think it's a start. It has legs.
