AceShowbiz - Shay Mitchell gets candid about the legacy of "Pretty Little Liars". The actress appeared hesitant when it came to watching the drama alongside her daughters.

"I don't know if I'm ready," said Mitchell, who played Emily Fields in the series from 2010 to 2017. "I have only fond memories from shooting, but it's hard to go back and watch my old projects."

As a busy mom to Atlas, 4, and Rome, 2, the 37-year-old finds it challenging to catch up on her ever-growing watch and reading list, making it unlikely that she will sit down for a complete rewatch anytime soon. However, she admits that she may consider watching a few episodes with her girls in the future.

Despite her reservations about rewatching "Pretty Little Liars", Mitchell acknowledges the impact it had on her career and personal growth. She faced challenges early on due to her limited acting experience, but she persevered and learned invaluable lessons during her time on the show.

Beyond acting, Mitchell's role as Emily Fields also gave her a platform to pursue her passion for business, including her luggage company, Béis. She credits the show for empowering her to become a more confident and bold woman, qualities that she hopes to instill in her own daughters.

While motherhood keeps Mitchell busy, she remains connected with her former "Pretty Little Liars" co-stars Ashley Benson and Troian Bellisario. Mitchell checks in on Benson, who welcomed her first baby in February, and gushes about their exceptional parenting skills.

"We shared our 20s together," said Mitchell. "Being able to see them as mothers together is just everything I knew they were gonna be and more."
