Talk:Sequence of Events - Alison's Disappearance/@comment-108.16.9.173-20130901031630

I think that they are going with the twin theory, but it's NOT the same as the books! The writers themselves said that they aren't following the books, yet, there are still SO many things that point to the twin theory thus far in the series, especially the night Ali disappeared. My theory, is that there ARE twins, but to be different from the books, Courtney is the crazy one and not Ali. The girls knew the actual Alison, and Courtney was jealous of Alison because she had a normal life and Courtney didn't, so she came and tried to kill Alison, but died instead. Alison was the one pulled out of the ground that night and Courtney was the body found. Alison went into hiding as Red Coat and is trying to help the girls against A. The reason that the DiLaurentis' haven't mentioned anything about twins yet is because they are ashamed of Courtney and they don't want anyone else to know for fear that they will be the laughingstock of Rosewood. In one of the early episodes of Season 4, when Hanna was visiting Mrs. D with Tippy the bird, Mrs. D told Hanna that THE YELLOW BLOUSE WAS ENOUGH TO KNOW IT WAS ALI!!! Meaning, she didn't look at the corpses body or face and there was no DNA testing done. Especially since there are so many references to the twin theory in the books except revamped to be different for the show, it is clear they are going with the twin theory, except changing it to catch people off guard. I have a lot of theories, so I hope you like this one! :)
