‘Suits’ Casting News: ‘Pretty Little Liars’ Star Troian Bellisario To Guest Star Alongside Fiancé Patrick J. Adams

Pretty Little Liars star Troian Bellisario is heading to USA's Suits to guest star alongside her real-life fiancé Patrick J. Adams.

E! News exclusively learned that the 28-year-old actress will be guest starring on the USA drama when it returns for the second half of its fourth season in 2015. Troian will play Claire, who is a woman from Mike Ross's (played by Adams) past.

Claire will appear in a flashback capacity that will show her as a law student and volunteer at a social services law clinic around the time Mike was a bike messenger. They started to date but after Mike helps Claire with one of her cases things get complicated.

"Aaron [Korsh, Suits' creator] has always kind of joked about how much he wants to have me on the show, and I was always like, 'Well, write me a role, because it's kind of up to you.' For me, it kind of became like a joke, like, 'Yeah, when I do my guest role on Suits,'" Troian explained to E! News about how she landed her upcoming guest role.

"It was kind of a funny thing where I was like, 'Oh, I guess I'll be the new fax girl, or I'll be like, the pizza delivery boy.' It just became kind of a joke, like, 'When am I going to show up in Suits?' Then Patrick called me, and was like, 'Actually, Aaron wrote this role he really wants you to play,' and I was like, 'Oh really, so it's happening? OK.' So then it happened, and it was working out our crazy schedules and they were really accommodating, so I'm gonna do it!"
