Why is caleb leaving pretty little liars

In the ABC-Family teen mystery drama "Pretty Little Liars," the character of Caleb Rivers, played by Tyler Blackburn, was a sporadic recurring character in season one and season two , then was promoted to a main character appearing nearly weekly in the third season and remaining a major part of the storyline through all seven seasons.

He also was the lead character in the short-lived spin-off Ravenswood. Caleb begins as a friend of Hanna one of the namesake "pretty little liars" then becomes her boyfriend, but unlike a great many characters on the program, Caleb Rivers will never be a murder suspect even though he is a master of other questionable skills.

Abandoned by both his biological and foster parents, we soon discover that Caleb has been living in the school, but Hanna invites him to live in her basement. As the series progresses, their relationship ebbs and flows from dating to friends to bitter rivals and back again, making Caleb one of the central focal points of the overarching plot of "Pretty Little Liars.

In the 14th episode of Season One, Caleb is the new bad boy at school; he can hack cell phones, but he charges for the service. This talent will be key to the story's plot as Hanna requests that he hack her phone so that she can call Maya St.

Germain at her reform school, but more phone trickery recurs throughout the season. In the next episode, titled "If at First You Don't Succeed, Lie, Lie Again," Hanna winds up in detention with Caleb, who discovers she wants to stop Ella from driving to Philadelphia before he bails himself out by staging a call from his social worker on his own hacked phone. The next day, Caleb hands Hanna a piece of Ella's car and refuses to accept money from her and instead asks for a favor that will be determined later.

In Episode 16, "Je Suis une Amie," Caleb returns to Hanna and asks her to date him to raise his credibility at school in exchange for the car part he delivered in the last episode; eventually, Aria and Hanna discover that he's living in the school building, and Hanna invites him to hide in her basement. They begin to form a relationship that proves to be complicated—they fall in and out of love repeatedly over the course of the seasons.

Later in season one, Hanna and Caleb start secretly dating before Hanna's mother discovers Caleb living in the basement and kicks him out of the house. Enter your email address below to receive our daily email updates.

Marlene King's world, feelings aren't enough to keep couples together. I think Haleb fans will probably shed a little tear at one point or another. Caleb and Miranda's relationship has been a major will-they-or-won't-they question since "Haleb" broke up on in a very tearful "Pretty Little Liars" episode and Blackburn kept mum on whether he would appear again in the final half of "Pretty Little Liars" Season 4.

But he promised fans will be left scratching their heads at the cliffhanger on "Ravenswood. News U. As EmilysSourAyygs on Reddit pointed out, Mona could even be the one who sent Caleb to Baltimore , since she's basically spearheading the whole Rollins cover-up situation.

I think we'd all hate it if Caleb was revealed to be helping AD, but it would definitely be a convenient way of explaining both his absence and the Rollins sighting in Baltimore. At this point, it's all conjecture — who knows, maybe he'll return soon and announce that, after some soul searching and time away, he's decided he wants to marry Hanna. No matter what happens, just please don't let him be the one who gets murdered "for playing with the wrong team," OK?
