This has been edited now after last nights episode of 6x04 to back up my ideas now with facts stated within the episode.
Let’s start at the beginning:
Charles DiLaurentis was born 15 months before Jason DiLaurentis. He was an unstable child, possibly ok until he had to compete for his parents affections.
Jason DiLaurentis was born and the boys both bonded well and could be seen to be close in the video from the soul room.
Alison DiLaurentis is born and being the youngest and a girl she is lavished in attention by her parents and probably by Jason too who seems to be kind and caring, Charles is extremely jealous and harms her by filling up the bath with scalding water, trying to burn her or drown her (A seems to have an obsession with heat).
Charles is sent away to Radley to receive help and treatment, he is said to have died there and his grave is at his Aunt Carol’s house even though Mrs D stated that she had him cremated. I do not believe the gravestone is a fake but the grave is, Charles is not in the grave because he is still alive, the grave is empty. He was released from Radley and Aunt Carol and Mrs D hid him at her house but he was secretly plotting how he could get his revenge on Alison as he blames her for him having to go away.
Now in Radley Charles met a few people who he deemed special to him, people who he felt were like family to him as they seemed to care about him.
These people were: CeCe, Dr Sullivan, Bethany Young, “Dr” Wren and Marion Cavanaugh. Scott Montgomery was also in Radley for a short time.
One by one his friends disappeared: Wren was only a med student, Dr Sullivan had to move on to another establishment with new patients, CeCe was in and out making her own plans with her own agenda, Marion died at the hands of CeCe who posed as Alison, Charles thought this was his evil sister who had got him sent away in the first place and then in turn Bethany was killed.
To read about how these people all interlink in the death of Bethany and also into the death of Marion and what happened the night Ali was hit with a rock and buried read my post “final theory” as I still think this also all stands, the characters and families are all more interlinked than we think.

When Charles got out of Radley, after everything had happened with Bethany being killed and Ali being hit with the rock Mrs D hid him at his aunt Carol’s house.
All of the A notes and A shenanigans before Mona were trying to scare Alison, this person I believe was Melissa. She believed Ali to be evil and manipulative and hated the friendship her sister Spencer had with Ali but she also hated Ali because of the Ian situation.
Now to where it gets a little complicated but it’s also quite straightforward when you think of it:
Jason denied his birth father and the name (Mr Hastings) as by birth he should be a Hastings.
The one person he has always seemed close to except for Ali is Charles.
He Received information on Charles from CeCe and he knew Charles was alive and hiding out at his Aunt Carol’s which is why he went straight there after leaving the hospital.
He says it is because he was afraid of Wilden but I think he wanted his big brothers advice not knowing at the time that his brother and his brothers lover were the people behind it all.
Jason now knows Charles is behind it all and is trying to protect him. Jason is helping him, he is one of Charles’s minions, he was in charge of the Dollshouse. Jason has two people working directly with him: CeCe and Wren.
Another person stumbled across things accidentally: Aria. She has some sort of mental illness and doesn’t remember everything that she has done or said which is why she is obsessed with the dolls atm, she knows in the back of her mind the dolls are symbolic of something but she’s not sure what. I think she got a little bit too carried away and she had to be brought back into line, hence her being punished in the Dollshouse too. This experience has scared her into silence but has also triggered her memory loss hence why she doesn’t remember everything.
Jason also likes Aria hence the pink hair dye and the photographs he said Ali had taken, I believe he actually took the photographs and blamed Ali for fear of people finding out about how much he likes Aria and linking him to anything else.
Who is a similar age to Jason? Who is always around? Who has a thing for Aria? (She is hardly ever punished or hurt). Who seems to know most characters or have some sort of relationship with them all? Who has been called out on his behaviour by our original A, Mona? Who has stalker tendencies? Who had a lair? Who had access to plenty of money via Jason’s reward money (before Jason knew who this person was)? Who pushes the girls at every available opportunity, particularly Aria?
Ezra is Charles.
Ezra was adopted which is why he always stated he didn’t like his families wealth, he felt it didn’t belong to him as he wasn’t a true Fitzgerald. He claimed the reward money from Jason, this was used to build the Dollshouse. He pushes the girls for information acting like he cares but really it is to see how much they know or remember. The book was just some bullshit he had to come up with. The manuscript that was found was his notes on the girls combined into a book format, maybe he was planning to eventually publish it just for kicks.
Sara Harvey: I believe she is who she says she is, she knows who Charles is but she either has fallen in love with him or perhaps even Jason or she has basically been conditioned/ brainwashed and now feels loyal to her captors. I don’t trust her.
Wilden, Garrett, Ian, Jenna, Maya & Mona have all got too close to the truth hence why they have either been killed or hurt/ tortured.
Melissa, Shana, Lucas, Toby & Caleb have all been trying to protect people they love.
Andrew: he just wanted to be the hero as he stated. He wanted to find the girls and he wanted to protect them. He wanted Aria to choose him. He was getting too close to the truth and the location of the Dollshouse but I do also suspect him of hiding something, I’m still not sure what and I really want to know if he knows himself that he is adopted. Maybe the rest of you can shed some light on this?
Who was in the box? Aria. I know some other characters have been in boxes but Marlene did say The Great Charlemagne was important.
Staring us in the face since day 1: Aria again as she has a thing with mirrors, it started with Aria and I believe it will end with her: Mona’s warning to Aria (the code she was using for Hanna I believe was also a warning): Miss Aria You’re A Killer Not Ezra’s Wife. I know some people may think this relates to her becoming a killer because of Shana but that wasn’t intentional. I believe in the end Aria will have to kill Ezra to protect/ save everyone else. Marlene has said many a time that Ezria are endgame.
It all leads back to Radley: this is where it all began and a lot of things happened.
Black Veil/ Widow is supposed to die before Season 7 and I believe this has already been foreshadowed with CeCe falling from the balcony dressed in the Redcoat.
Mona was original A.
So I believe Black Veil & Redcoat are the same person: this is CeCe.
Big A is Jason.
Uber A is Ezra.
The A minions:
Wren
Aria
People who have been A minions due to blackmail or other reasons:
Toby
Shana
Wilden
Jenna
Lucas
Melissa
Look behind Keegan’s head in the photo: Jason & CeCe are linked.

Thank you to carebear55x
What Keegan says here contradicts what Marlene has said about A not being in the pilot or in season 1.
Aria is A theorists will be very happy with this in some way I’m sure but as it has been stated that A is not one of the liars and A is Charles we just have to figure out Charles’s new identity. That doesn’t mean one of the liars isn’t helping A/ Charles, especially as Aria is the one that makes the most discoveries. (Including in last nights episode 6x04, who is to say she didn’t take some sheets from his Radley records before she called the other girls over?).
I honestly love Jason and I like Ezra so I’m hoping in some ways I will be wrong but the fact that we are supposed to know this person very well and will be able to recognise this person instantly as soon as he is unmasked makes me think of Ezra, also the fact of him apparently being A originally before the series was picked up for more seasons, the writers came up with the bullshit book storyline to cover their arses.
There is a hell of a lot more that could go into this but I can’t post lots of pics/ gifs atm and I can’t remember every single episode to quote things from.
The reason I believe my theory is close to the truth for all those who didn’t see my explanation:
I posted online somewhere to somebody who works on the show that it was all coming together and Jason knows the truth and has people working for him to protect Charles, specifically one of the liars.
The same person then stated “somebody is getting too close for comfort” and I then received an inbox message saying “shhh”.
The message could be taken as a warning or it could be taken as an additional clue to which liar it is.
I have also read many Twitter and Tumblr posts (thank you to anybody who has posted anything that got the cogs whirring) but thatswhatAsaid Twitter account riddles really confirmed it all for me as I solved the riddles (my interpretation of them anyway).
I love riddles and I am an English major so the literary references are fun for me to try to relate to the show (see my post on William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience for an example).
Now I could be completely wrong and maybe got too excited or interpreted the “shhhh” message in the wrong way but take from it what you will.
I wasn’t going to post this theory for quite a while as I’m sure there will be more to add to it as we go along before the reveal but for now at the request of many this is the theory (maybe shouldn’t have called my other post “solved it” as I may not have but I believe I have).
Feel free to add anything or debate this or even prove me wrong, I have no problem with anybody doing that but please be kind about it as we are all in the same position ultimately as none of us have the answers as we do not write for the show.
Enjoy and please do read my post titled “final theory” too as there is an explanation there for what happened that night, ignore the parts about Scott being A as I obviously don’t believe that now but for what happened that night and in Radley still stands.
