SEAN ACKARD

Sean Ackard (Chuck Hittinger) is Hanna's love interest throughout the first half of season one. Having crushed on Sean since before Alison's disappearance, and before Hanna's extreme makeover and weight loss, Hanna puts a lot of pressure on their new relationship when they begin dating. Sean's refusal to have sex with Hanna combined with her self-esteem problems lead to a break-up when Hanna drunkenly crashes Sean's car. Afterwards, Sean forgives Hanna and the two continue dating when he explains that he is a member of the virginity club at their high school, "Real Love Waits". During the second half of the first season, Sean and Hanna realize that they will never be able to repair their relationship, in large part because of Sean's treatment of Hanna's friend Lucas.
