Trivia[]
- Whenever Ella passes her daughter Aria in the school hallways, she always takes the advantage to talk with her.
- We never see Ella eat her lunch in the faculty lounge, she often lunches in the school cafeteria with the other English teachers.
- Ella seems to have plenty of opportunities to spy on her daughter in the school hallways, such as in "Blind Dates" when Aria is hanging out with the other PLL's against their parents orders. However, she seems wholly absent from Mike's school life - It should be noted how she misses Mike's first fights with the older kids in the hallway.
