11 of the Most Shocking Celebrity Transformations of 2011

When PLL debuted in 2010, we were introduced to Emily (Shay Mitchell) before she had even come out to herself. Still unsteady in her new lesbionic sneakers, Emily was horrified of anyone finding out her pretty little secret. It was one of the bargaining tools “A” had with manipulation tactics.

Now that the first half of Season 2 is over, Emily is in a completely different state of self-awareness. She’s told both her parents, all her friends, and even has explored dating at least three different girls in Rosewood. Brava, Emily.
