Young Hollywood. Book Swipe Shop. We're Hiring! Terms Privacy Policy. Don't Miss Out! Yes, Please No Thanks. There are so many false deaths and red herrings on the show that it grew pretty tiresome. It seems like no matter what Toby has going on, things get wrapped up rather easily and quickly. This is true of him falling for someone who isn't Spencer, as Yvonne ends up passing away.

This is also true of him being on the A Team, as it turns out that he didn't do it for evil reasons. This is one way that the character got worse and worse because that's just not the way that life works.

It feels totally unrealistic, especially in a town like Rosewood where no one is happy. It feels like when comparing screentime for the major love interests on PLL , Ezra and Caleb are given the most. These characters are always around, creating or responding to drama and conflict, and they're some of the most popular on the show. But Toby sometimes seems like he's off in his own world, and Spencer spends a lot of time on her own.

Besides marrying Yvonne and then dealing with her death, what does Toby really do in the seventh and final season?

It feels like a big mistake that he doesn't really seem to be doing anything interesting. Since no fan wanted to see him with someone who wasn't Spencer, the Yvonne storyline wasn't compelling, and it would have been better to see Toby occupied with something else.
