Are Alison and Bethany twins? I know that the writers said that Alison and Bethany are NOT twins and that contrary to the books, Alison does not have a twin on the show. However, I remember when the writers swore up and down than Mona wasn't A, but that turned out to be a lie. Also, for those of us who have been die-hard fans of the show since the beginning, we know that the writers have a habit of lying to us. LOL, and what do you expect from a team of producers who write for a show all about lies and secrets? The reason I think Alison and Bethany are twins is namely because Alison and Bethany are clearly identical. Melissa had to have seen Bethany's face when she buried her, and since she specifically told Spencer that she mistook Bethany for Alison, that indicates that Bethany's facial features strongly resembled Alison's. Also, if Alison and Bethany weren't twins, there's no way that Bethany would resemble Alison as stronlgy as she clearly does. For those of us wh have studied genetics, we know that unless you are twins, even siblings who share the same parents have distinctive physical features that tell them apart. Therefore, I believe it goes without saying that siblings who have different parents, will have even more distinctive physical features that tell them apart. With that being said, if the writers are telling the truth and Alison and Bethany really aren't twins, that would make the show very unbelievable. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Pretty Little Liars and honestly I think that it's great that the writers are trying to remain true to the books while also giving the show their own special flare, however, like I said before, if Alison and Bethany aren't twins, they shouldn't resemble each other as much as they do. Obviously all siblings have some resemblance to each other, but not to the point where someone, such as Melissa, would look at one of their face's and think that they were the other one. What do you think?
