To clarify, Spencer was never meant to Big A. In the interview, Troian said that they had planned to stretch out her stint as A a little longer at the end of season 3. It would have been part of the season 3 cliffhanger but everyone would have found out that she was trying to help at the start of season 4. However they were worried that people wouldn't like Spencer if they did that because it would have been a long time of the audience and characters thinking she is A. So they changed it by having Hanna dress as Red Coat and lure Spencer away so she could tell them she was a double agent.
