Pretty Little Liars stars Ashley Benson, Troian Bellisario, Keegan Allen, and Torrey DeVitto were surprised by Sydney Sweeney's cameo on the show during their panel at Epic Cons Chicago.
It seems the stars of "Pretty Little Liars" had a case of amnesia when it came to a certain Euphoria sensation's cameo in their show. During the Epic Cons Chicago fan convention, cast members Ashley Benson, Troian Bellisario, Keegan Allen, and Torrey DeVitto—known for their roles as Hannah Marin, Spencer Hastings, Toby Cavanaugh, and Melissa Hastings—were left dumbfounded when questioned about Sydney Sweeney's appearance in the series finale of the Freeform hit.
PEOPLE reported that moderator Arielle Kebbel asked the crowd in footage captured by a fan, “Is this true? Who does she play? She doesn’t have a name. No one cared about her back then. Got ya.”
“I’m in the Twilight Zone,” a shocked Devitto, 39, responded. “What?”

When fans inquired about the significance of Sweeney's cameo, Torrey DeVitto joked, "Well, they didn't even know she was in the show."
“I think that’s probably Marlene [King] setting up the generation and when we ended our show, it wasn’t like it was going to be immediately spun off,” Bellisario explained. “I imagine that was her just saying, the story continues.”Actor's Shocking Discovery Sends Fans Reeling; Co-Stars Stunned by Surprise Cameo
