But when Sutton doesn't return when promised,...

ABC Family’s “The Lying Game” continued its fantastic season with last night’s episode “To Lie For.” The spring finale brought truths and surprises to light. If you want to relive the finale for yourself, check out our gallery of stills from the episode below. “The Lying Game” stars Alexandra Chando, Andy Buckley, Helen Slater, Blair Redford, Sharon Pierre-Louis, Kirsten Prout, Alice Greczyn and Allie Gonino. The show follows a girl who realizes she has a wealthy identical twin sister: “The Lying Game follows Emma, a kind-hearted foster kid who learns she has an identical twin sister, Sutton.

Plus, the police find a body! Who killed Theresa?

Does Rebecca (Charisma Carpenter) have any allies left? Because after watching the March 5 episode of The Lying Game, I’m thinking she might finally be all alone in her plans to win back Ted (Andy Buckley). Not only did Sutton (Alexandra Chando) officially move over to the side of good, but Thayer (Christian Alexander) also stopped accusing his dad — for once — and considered that Becky might actually be behind Derek and Theresa’s deaths. And we all know there’s no tougher nut to crack than Thayer.

Even Jordan (Ryan Rottman) is now in on the twins’ secret, thanks to Mads (Alice Greczyn) deciding her step-brother could be a good asset — and not just a good ass. Thus the Lying Gang was born!

In slightly more positive news, Ted came face to face with both twins for the first time since,...

As Rebecca’s lies get more twisted, the wicked wife is quickly losing allies! Is she about to crack?

Dan and Theresa’s wedding went off without a hitch on the Feb. 26 episode of The Lying Game — and by that, I mean absolutely no one got hitched. The bride remained M.I.A., and a full-scale investigation was launched; but the most shocking discovery was the one Emma (Alexandra Chando) made about her dad. In the episode’s final moments, Emma confronted Ted (Andy Buckley) at the grave where Theresa went missing, and she was holding the hospital I.D. card he left behind!

In what could be considered an equally surprising turn of events, Sutton came clean to Emma about her dealings with Rebecca (Charisma Carpenter) — and I mean all of her dealings. So for the first time since the pilot, the twins are finally on the same page.

It was kiss-and-tell week on ‘The Lying Game,’ and pretty soon there won’t be any couples left!

Has Rebecca’s (Charisma Carpenter) wicked little plan finally come to fruition? The Feb. 19 episode of The Lying Game marked the official demise of the Mercers’ marriage after Alec (Adrian Pasdar) was caught kissing Kristen (Helen Slater) at the club — which, of course, Rebecca couldn’t wait to bring to Ted’s (Andy Buckley) attention. And in other unsurprising news, it wasn’t long before Ted and Rebecca found themselves in a little lip lock of their own!

Meanwhile, Emma (Alexandra Chando) continued to wrestle with her feelings for Thayer (Christian Alexander); though not quite as much as Thayer, who literally wrestled with Ethan (Blair Redford) over Emma. And just to make matters even more complicated, Laurel (Allie Gonino) told Ethan that Emma still has feelings for him, and suggested that he go after her.

The ratings for The Lying Game remained pretty consistent during the first season. They were strong enough to get the ABC Family drama renewed. Will the numbers go up or down this season? Will the show be cancelled or renewed? Stay tuned to find out.

The Lying Game follows the story of a set of identical twin girls who discover each other as teenagers. The cast includes Alexandra Chando, Alice Greczyn, Allie Gonino, Andy Buckley, Blair Redford, Charisma Carpenter, Helen Slater, Kirsten Prout, and Sharon Pierre-Louis.

The following are the latest TV ratings for the second season of The Lying Game, the best way to tell if this TV series will be cancelled or renewed for a third season. The show typically airs on Tuesday nights on ABC Family.

These figures will be updated as the weeks progress so be sure to...

Plus: One twin hits the sheets with the guy she loves, while a marriage continues to fall apart.

With Laurel (Allie Gonino) finally in on the big secret, Emma (Alexandra Chando) and the boys plotted to expose Sutton and Rebecca (Charisma Carpenter) on the Feb. 12 episode of The Lying Game. Their plan went down at the flip-side formal, and just to make things extra complicated, Ethan (Blair Redford) took Emma as his date instead of Sutton! Let the madness begin.

Thayer (Christian Alexander) was able to stall Sutton by hijacking her limo, but apparently all those muscles are just for show, because she had him on the ground in no time — and not in a good way. Jordan (Ryan Rottman) also pulled some shenanigans of his own, taking Laurel to the formal as a “cover” for really wanting to be there with Mads (Alice Greczyn).

But the kids weren’t...

But will Laurel help Emma take down Sutton & Rebecca, or will she reject her for lying for so long?

Rebecca (Charisma Carpenter) and Sutton (Alexandra Chando) have done a pretty good job of keeping their secrets to themselves — until tonight, that is. Not only did Emma learn the truth about her paternity on the Feb. 5 episode of The Lying Game, but her discovery inspired a game-changing confession that brought Laurel (Allie Gonino) into the fold. In a nutshell, this show just got even more complicated.

Still in Los Angeles, Emma and Thayer (Christian Alexander) managed to figure out that not only is Rebecca the twins’ birth mother, but that she and Sutton have been working together. Desperate to find out what their plan was, the pair rushed back to Scottsdale, only to find an even bigger mess than they expected.

Fueled by a few unwise words from Mads (Alice Greczyn...

Plus, a major twist in Alec’s murder investigation leaves everyone scared for the future.

After a night of uninhibited passion, Ethan (Blair Redford) told Sutton (Alexandra Chando) those magical words every girl dreams of hearing from the guy she loves: “Sorry, this was a mistake. It’ll never happen again.” Oh, Ethan — you’re such a romantic! Of course, this is The Lying Game we’re talking about, so there were plenty more awkward moments to come.

In fact, let’s run down all the uncomfortable interactions from the Jan. 22 episode, shall we?

1. Laurel (Allie Gonino) invited Mads (Alice Greczyn) to tag along on her date with Jordan (Ryan Rottman), unaware that the step-siblings slept together on the season premiere.

2. Emma agreed to tutor Ethan, unaware he’d just slept with Sutton the night before.

3. Thayer (Christian Alexander) walked in on Ethan hugging Emma.

4. Laurel caught Mads and Jordan kissing,...

Plus, is Alec really innocent after all? This is madness.

The twins’ love lives got even more complicated on the Jan. 15 episode of The Lying Game, as Emma (Alexandra Chando) gave Sutton her blessing to pursue Ethan (Blair Redford). Like she really needed it. Meanwhile, Emma finally gave into her feelings for Thayer (Christian Alexander), which sent Ethan into a jealous/drunken stupor — and straight into Sutton’s bed.

Mads (Alice Greczyn) paid a visit to Alec (Adrian Pasdar) in prison, and somehow he was able to convince her he was merely “holding” the tire iron in the infamous photo, rather than using it to kill Derek. Even crazier, he might be telling the truth! Tyler and Theresa tracked down the woman who planted the tire iron in Alec’s bag, though she has no idea who paid her. Oh well.

Later, during a fit of bitch-fueled rage, Mads called...

Plus, a mysterious stranger arrives in town — and, of course, he has ties to Rebecca.

TV’s most complicated show — seriously, The Lying Game is like Lost meets Homeland meets a brain hemorrhage — returned for its second season Jan. 8, and it’s now more twisted than ever. With Alec (Adrian Pasdar) still in jail, Rebecca (Charisma Carpenter) spent the hour scheming with Sutton (Alexandra Chando) to win back the loves of their lives, while taking down their enemies in the process.

Sutton, of course, has her sights set on the grade-a man meat known as Ethan Whitehorse (Blair Redford). She tried faking an ankle sprain to get closer to him, and when that didn’t work, she resorted to plan B: honesty! She confessed that she’s still in love with him, and that she knows deep down — like, way deep down — he still loves her, too. Naturally, he rejected her,...

You may recognize Jonny Weston as one of the zombies in "John Dies at the End" or as the ex-boyfriend of an up-and-coming porn star in "About Cherry," but the 24-year-old is making big waves this weekend with his first leading role.

In the biopic "Chasing Mavericks," Weston plays surf legend Jay Moriarty. At the young age of 16, Moriarty became infamous for riding the Mavericks in Santa Cruz, Calif., one of the world's most dangerous surfing destinations. Weston has more than just the blonde, blue-eyed good looks and acting chops to portray Moriarty — he also happens to be an avid surfer with all the right skills for the part.

We had the chance to chat with Weston about his breakout role in "Chasing Mavericks" as well as his board-riding skills and audition experiences while paving the way to Hollywood.

In "Chasing Mavericks," there was a lot of surfing done on your part.

Has Emma completely lost her mind? We all knew it was bound to happen eventually. Emma and Sutton (Alexandra Chando) switched places -- again -- on the Feb. 6 episode of The Lying Game, leading to a whole lot of confusion. And even more revelations. For starters, Mads (Alice Greczyn) found out that Sutton hit on Ryan (Misha Crosby) at the black-and-white ball, which led Emma to reveal the truth: She's not Sutton! Dun, dun, dun! And Justin "Crazy Eyes" Miller (Randy Wayne) continued dating Laurel (Allie Gonino) on the Dl, but things got a little awkward when he attended her concert and watched as sparks flew between her and Baz (Adam Brooks). Meanwhile, Sutton and Ethan (Blair Redford) spent the day with Papa Whitehorse, while Ethan hid out from the fuzz. Alec (Adrian Pasdar) is still convinced he killed Derek (Ben Elliott), and until we find out who was in the other car that night,...

Just when it seemed like this week’s episode of The Lying Game would make no major developments… it packed a good punch and getaway. We did not dive any deeper in the case of who Sutton and Emma’s biological parents are but the gang did find out who almost killed Sutton the night of the party. Too bad this did not lead them to his boss. Running against the clock, Ethan had to make a decision that directly affected not only his life but Sutton and Emma’s. Talk about turmoil. Where “Dead Man Talking” ended… it has taken the show in a direction none of us would rather go down. But because of that, there is sure to be some incredible drama that would not have taken place otherwise. More on that in a bit…

Before the big piece of the puzzle this week was put into the right place…...

What an incredible episode of The Lying Game. Sutton gets a reality check, the walls come crumbling down for Laurel only to be put back up immediately by her family, and lots more takes place in this episode of The Lying Game. To say the least, this was quite an entertaining hour.

“Nice to see you undoing all of Emma’s good work on your first day back.” – Ethan

It’s the debutante ball and Sutton (Alexandra Chando) is back as herself doing a terrible job at being the loving and appreciative daughter that Emma (Alexandra Chando) was as her, a somewhat more caring sister than before – although it’s hysterical and sad that even trying to be a good sister, she doesn’t know the right decision to make… and to no surprise, she seems to be the same selfish girl when it comes to Ethan (Blair Redford). She...

Is the big mystery really over, or is this just another lie? Either way, Rebecca terrifies me now. If there's one thing you should take away from the Jan. 23 episode of The Lying Game, it's that Rebecca (Charisma Carpenter) is not to be trifled with. But since we didn't discover why until the very end of the episode, let's hash out some of the other lessons we learned this week. Sutton & Ryan have a sexy, awkward history: Yes, kids, it looks like we might have a new love triangle on our hands. Mads' (Alice Greczyn) new British squeeze Ryan (Misha Crosby) apparently hooked up with Sutton (Alexandra Chando) in ninth grade. I'm not sure how far they went, but Rebecca is (probably) Emma & Sutton's mom: I know we all pretty predicted it, but when Annie Hobbs (Stacy Edwards) told Sutton and Emma she wasn't their real mother, and Rebecca appeared...

Plus, Alice tells us a few things you might not know about herself -- including her biggest obsession! You may think you know everything about Mads on The Lying Game, but Alice Greczyn tells HollywoodLife.com that things are about to change for her now that the real Sutton (Alexandra Chando) is back in Phoenix, and a new love interest (Misha Crosby) has entered her life. The arrival of both characters "really sparks things up for Mads," Alice tells us. "Things get more intense." Alice tells us she's particularly excited about working with Misha -- and not just because he's British. "Misha Crosby, who plays Ryan, is just a charming guy to work with," she tells us. "And he does Ryan very well. He's kind of the cocky, too-big-for-his-britches school boy, but he's so charming that you can't help but like him." . And now that I've filled you in about all things Mads,...

Alice Greczyn gives HollywoodLife.com the scoop on 'The Lying Game's latest -- and most scandalous -- relationship. Remember when I theorized that Alec (Adrian Pasdar) and Rebecca (Charisma Carpenter) were going to hook up on The Lying Game? Apparently I'm not as crazy as my therapist says I am! Alice Greczyn recently chatted with HollywoodLife.com about her on-screen dad's love life, and it sounds like things are about to get real hot real fast. "Rebecca becomes a love interest for Mads' dad, so she's around the house a lot," Alice told us. "Mads initially feels a nice connection with her," but things don't stay that way for long. "As the season goes further, we learn a lot more suspicious things about Rebecca," Alice added. "Mads is going to become more evaluating of the whole Rebecca situation later on." And in case you're still confused about the...

The Lying Game's Alec Ryback is looking increasingly suspicious, but will his shady behavior cause his daughter Mads to turn against him?

"She doesn't trust her dad [but] she really does want her family to get along," Alice Greczyn, who plays Mads, tells TVGuide.com. "She's playing the ostrich role, burying her head in the sand [because] she doesn't have enough [yet!] proof to make waves otherwise."

If Pretty Little Liars and The Parent Trap (the Lindsay Lohan version) ever had a lovechild, ABC Family’s The Lying Game would definitely be it.

Making its much-anticipated debut this Monday at 9/8c, Lying Game stars Alexandra Chando (As the World Turns) as Emma, a teen who discovers her long-lost twin Sutton — and then suddenly finds herself living said sister’s life. Crazy stuff, sure, but is this dark drama your cup of tea? Here, TVLine lays out four fun facts you should know before tuning in, including — but certainly not limited to — the appearance of a beloved Hero...

Chicago – ABC Family’s “The Lying Game” is a so-so soap but it’s elevated beyond that by a young lady with the kind of screen presence that virtually announces that she will be a star. There’s nothing you can do or say about it. It’s just going to happen. The actress in question is the talented Alexandra Chando, a former daytime soap opera star given the chance to reach a wider audience with the premiere of tonight’s young adult mystery/melodrama.

TV Rating: 3.5/5.0

In an unusual case of TV timing, “The Lying Game” plays not unlike a younger sibling of the highly-promoted CW fall series “Ringer” with Sarah Michelle Gellar (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”). The pilot we’ve seen for “Ringer” may be fine-tuned and improved upon before our final review but, for now, “The Lying Game” is actually the superior show. It’s smarter, more cleverly paced,...

After listening to Ricky’s voicemails, Amy finds out she’s not the only one who has made that mistake; meanwhile Adrian goes on a date with Dante (Bow Wow) hoping to make Ricky jealous on The Secret Life Of The American Teenager, premiering on Monday, August 15 (8:00 – 9:00 p.m. Et/Pt).

In the one-hour episode, “4-1-1,” Ricky grows increasingly upset with Amy for going through his phone, and Amy feels guilty, only to later find out it seems that everyone does it.

Unable to trust each other, Ricky decides he needs a little space and time away from Amy, but finds a former foster “brother” at his door needing his help. Meanwhile, even though she believes her plan to get Ricky back is working, Adrian decides to go on a date with Dante (Bow Wow), who is a friend of Grace’s boyfriend. Although she wants to start dating again,...

We may know her best as Maddie Coleman from As The World Turns, but Emmy nominee Alexandra Chando is also about to launch a thrilling, new, original one-hour series on ABC Family called The Lying Game.

The weekly, primetime soap follows Emma, a kind-hearted foster kid who learns she has an identical twin sister, Sutton. Sutton, unlike Emma, was adopted by wealthy parents and is seemingly living an ideal life. After their initial meeting, Sutton talks Emma into stepping into her life for a few days while she pursues a lead on the mysterious identity of their birth mother.

We Love Soaps TV recently had the chance to talk to Alexandra about The Lying Game, As The World Turns, the challenge of playing twins, and much, much more. Here's a transcript of our conversation, followed by more info on Alexandra and The Lying Game.

But first--is there someone you'd like We Love Soaps to interview?...

Former As The World Turns actress Alexandra Chando (Maddie) stars in the new ABC Family soap The Lying Game which debuts on August 15.

ABC Family is bringing another book by "Pretty Little Liars" author Sara Shepard to small screen. The network will debut "The Lying Game" on August 15 and has released a trailer for it.

Sutton then convinces Emma to step into her life for a few days while she pursues a lead on the mysterious identity of their birth mother.

ABC Family already has "Pretty Little Liars" on its schedule, and pretty soon it will be playing "The Lying Game."

The cable channel on Tuesday (Feb. 22) picked up 10 episodes of "The Lying Game," a drama about a teenage girl named Emma (Alexandra Chando, "As the World Turns") who grew up in foster care and learns she has a twin sister, Sutton, who was adopted by a rich family. After the twin meet and decide to track down their birth mother, Sutton goes missing, forcing Emma to decide whether she should take on Sutton's life or come clean about what's happened.

The show is based on a novel by Sara Shepard, the author of the "Pretty Little Liars" series, and it sounds like it could be a pretty good companion for "Pll." "The Lying Game" also stars Blair Redford ("90210"), Kristen Prout ("Kyle Xy"), Helen Slater ("Gigantic"), Andy Buckley ("The Office"), Sharon Pierre-Louis...

House of Fears is, for the most part, fairly typical slasher fare. It stars a pack of mid-to-late twentysomethings who are killed off one by one, save for a couple of brave brave fighters. It does, however and somewhat surprisingly, keep the gratuitous violence to a minimum, and there's nary a sex scene in sight. However, it doesn't have much else going for it — the writing's not that great, the cinematography's not that great, and the acting's certainly not that great. The overall plot has vague potential — some high school kids break into a theme-park style haunted house the night before its grand opening, only to find that their fears begin coming to life because of a tiny cursed statue!

The fears themselves are for the most part pretty general, ranging from claustrophobia, to a psychotic clown (as if there's any other kind), to being stabbed, to being buried alive.

Less than ten days away from the theatrical release of "Push" in the U.S., Summit Entertainment held a Los Angeles premiere for the sci-fi action thriller. The studio rolled down red carpet in front of Mann Village Theater in Westwood, California on Thursday, January 29, to welcome celebrities attending the special screening event.
