As the final season of the hit series “The Summer I Turned Pretty” approaches its highly anticipated premiere, fans are buzzing with excitement and speculation.

Recently, the show’s stars—Lola Tung, Gavin Casalegno, and Christopher Briney—sat down for an exclusive interview to share their thoughts on the whirlwind of fan theories surrounding the conclusion of the series, their playful antics on set, and their personal connections to Taylor Swift’s music, which has become an integral part of the show’s atmosphere.

The trio gathered in a cozy studio in Los Angeles, where the vibrant energy was palpable.

With the final season set to air next month, the actors reflected on their journey and the emotional weight of wrapping up their characters’ stories. “It feels surreal that we’re coming to an end,” Lola Tung, who plays the beloved character Belly, admitted.

“I’ve grown so much alongside Belly, and saying goodbye is going to be really tough.”

Gavin Casalegno, who portrays the charming Jeremiah, chimed in, “It’s bittersweet. We’ve created such a tight-knit family on set, and I’ll miss those moments.

” Christopher Briney, who plays Conrad, added, “The fans have been incredible, and their theories about how everything will end have been so entertaining to read. Some of them are spot on, while others are completely off the wall!”

The conversation quickly shifted to the fan theories that have taken social media by storm.

With the show’s themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery, viewers have been eager to predict the fates of their favorite characters. “I love how invested everyone is,” Lola said, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.

“It makes the experience so much more special when you see fans dissecting every little detail. I’ve seen theories about who Belly will ultimately choose, and honestly, some of them have made me question my own character’s decisions!”

As they dove deeper into the topic, Gavin revealed some of the more outrageous theories he had encountered.

“I saw one theory that suggested a time travel element where Belly goes back to fix her mistakes! I mean, that would be wild!” The group burst into laughter, appreciating the creativity of their fanbase.

Christopher added, “It’s fascinating how people can interpret the story in so many different ways. It shows how much they care.”

The playful banter continued as the actors reminisced about their time on set.

Known for their close friendship, the trio often engages in pranks to keep the atmosphere light. “We have a blast on set,” Gavin said, grinning.

“One time, I hid Lola’s phone in the middle of a scene, and she didn’t notice until we wrapped! The look on her face was priceless.” Lola feigned indignation, “I was so confused! I thought I lost it for good!”

Christopher chimed in, “I think my favorite prank was when I pretended to be a random extra during a scene and just started dancing in the background.

The crew couldn’t stop laughing, and it took a while for Lola and Gavin to realize what was happening!” Their camaraderie was evident, and it was clear that these light-hearted moments had forged lasting memories.

As the conversation shifted to music, the mention of Taylor Swift elicited excited reactions from the actors.

The series has featured several of Swift’s songs, which resonate deeply with the themes of the show. “Her music perfectly captures the emotions we’re portraying,” Lola said.

“I remember listening to ‘Love Story’ on repeat while filming, and it just felt so fitting for Belly’s journey.”

Gavin shared his favorite Taylor Swift moment, recalling an event where he met her at a charity function.

“I was so starstruck! I told her how much her music means to me, especially while working on this show. She was so down-to-earth and kind.

” Christopher nodded in agreement, adding, “Her lyrics really speak to the heart of our characters. It’s like she knows exactly what we’re going through.”

As the interview wrapped up, the trio reflected on the impact of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” on their lives and careers. “This show has changed everything for me,” Lola said, her voice filled with emotion.

“I’ve learned so much about myself and what it means to love and lose.” Gavin and Christopher echoed her sentiments, expressing gratitude for the opportunities the show has provided them.

With the final season on the horizon, fans are left wondering how the story will conclude. The excitement is palpable, and as Lola, Gavin, and Christopher prepare to say goodbye to their characters, they leave fans with a message of appreciation.
