I honestly don't think that Charles is A (because transgender so he hates/jealous of Ali) is plausible.

Simply because as so many people have pointed out, I hardly think Marlene King would make a transgender character as the twisted and tormented villain. I  think( or have hope) that she knows that this issue should be treated with sensitivity.Especially after the very elegant and nice way she portrayed Emily's sexuality.

That said, Janel Parrish and Oliver Goldstick both said that Charles loves and hates Ali to the point he still wants her to live as long as he can still manipulate her. So either Charles has fallen in love with Bethany in Radley and sort of replaces Alison with her or he hates Alison for hurting Bethany. That said, I think the girls hurt Bethany too somehow but they can't remember because they were drugged by Alison. (Remember, in jail she told Jason she didn't kill Mona but she let alot of other things happen)
