The PLLOriginalSin star has an ominous warning for fans who think they will have the story figured out.

. When it came to playing twins, Bechtel wanted to make it feel like she was playing “two distinct, fully realized people.” She had extensive conversations with the creative team, including director Lisa Soper, about adding details that would differentiate the sisters.

Although she had the unique responsibility of doing double duty, Bechtel reiterates that she leaned on her “twin double,” the actor Alex O’Shea, who was present to shoot all of the scenes with Karen and Kelly and acted as a sounding board to determine how to bring the power dynamics between the sisters to life. In other words, the actress never felt like she was acting opposite herself.

When it comes to playing the antagonist in high school dramas, young actors might be tempted to play up their characters’ cattiness—to the point where their performances are overly campy. In this case, Bechtel believes the writing lends itself to creating a more grounded take on the conventional “mean girl,” because viewers are given more insight into “why Karen feels like she has to lash out” at others.
