I always felt like I was learning something from her every time I talked to her. So I miss that.”

“It’s so hard, especially for a lot of us,” she said. “A lot of us don’t really live in LA anymore, either. I live full time in Michigan now, so it’s hard to stay in touch.”Despite the challenges, DeVitto said there is one resident from Rosewood with whom she does stay in regular contact.“I’d say out of thePretty Little Liarscast, I stay in touch withIan Hardingthe most,” she said. “We stay in touch all the time, and honestly, it’s been even months since I’ve spoken to him, which is so tragic. But also, I have phone anxiety. Truly, when I see somebody call, I duck as if they can see me.”

DeVitto also shared that one friend whose calls don’t make her want to duck and cover isArielle Kebbel, who grew up in the same hometown of Winter Park, Florida.“I’ve known her since I was 12 years old,” DeVitto says. “She’s the only person that gets me on the phone and we talk for hours.”
