Troian Bellisario Pays Tribute to Spencer & Fans in Beautiful 'Pretty Little Liars' Goodbye

Grab your tissues because Troian Bellisario is saying goodbye to Pretty Little Liars forever.

She took to Instagram before tonight’s series finale to post a touching tribute to the amazing fans, her co-stars, and her character Spencer.

“Today closes the chapter on a very significant part of my life. A chapter I had never imagined or even dreamt of having written,” Troin wrote. “When I left collage I thought I was headed to NYC (hopefully for some jobs on stage) Little did I know life was actually taking me to Rosewood, Pennsylvania. Where they insisted I would need to do high school for about 6 more years. Life (for reasons that will continue to reveal themselves to me ) made me a Pretty Little Liar.”

“For 8 years. For around 10,000 hours of my life it asked me to be Spencer Hastings,” she continued. “It took me to days where I couldn’t stop laughing, and nights when I wished I could have been sleeping in bed, instead of running in the wet and cold for the umpteenth take at 5AM but somehow we made it through and we had fun even then. Every moment with this cast and crew, in this town, every breath I took with Spencer, every text, dead body, new suspect, terrifying scream, new relationship and ‘kisses, A’ taught me something extraordinary.”

“It taught me patience, and how to approach my craft, how to direct, produce, it taught me about collaboration, experimentation, risk, friendship, family, empathy, sacrifice and above all LOVE,” Troian wrote. “Being Spencer Hastings in this crazy world is something I still don’t quite understand, but I know it was a rare and beautiful gift. A gift that will continue to give for the rest of my days on this Earth. And I wanted to say THANK YOU to all of the people who gave it to me.”

“To all of the people who believed in me and made it possible, to my friends and family who loved me through it and above all to YOU, the fans, who watched, who tweeted, and posted, who theorized, swooned and screamed. We got a lot out of this experience, but I would have been nothing without you,” she concluded. “Thank you and I love you all very much. (I love you too, Spencer, you weirdo). Enjoy tonight. I know I will. #pllendgame #spencerhastings”
