"It's been real rough. But for a long time, people would ask, "Who's A.D.?" And I'd say, ‘It's me!' And everyone would just laugh. It's kind of great when you have a secret that so few people—only me, Marlene, and a handful of others at that point—know. It means you can hide in plain sight," Bellisario said about keeping the secret.

The reveal was years in the making—but did viewers like it? See where the Pretty Little Liars series finale ranks among TV's big endings right now.
