Actress reveals secrets before Summer I Turned Pretty audition

The eagerly anticipated series three finale of The Summer I Turned Pretty is just around the corner, and fans are on the edge of their seats waiting to see how it all wraps up. This Amazon show has been a massive hit with young viewers, and the creators are taking every precaution to keep the ending under wraps.

Actress Corinna Brown, who plays Gemma on the show, shared that the secrecy around the series started even before she auditioned. “There were all sorts of code names flying around,” she recalls. “From the show title to my character name, everything was kept hush-hush. It wasn’t until a couple of days before filming started that I found out my character was actually named Gemma.”

With the buzz around the show reaching new heights, Brown reflects on the excitement of being part of a cultural phenomenon. The passionate fan base and the anticipation surrounding the series have been overwhelming for her. “It’s really exciting to be part of something that has captured the hearts of so many,” she says. “The support and enthusiasm from the fans have been incredible.”

The show’s Paris setting in the latest season has introduced a whole new dynamic to the storyline, with Gemma becoming a pivotal character in Belly’s circle of friends. Brown describes Gemma as a kindred spirit to Belly and emphasizes the importance of women supporting each other, highlighting a powerful moment when Belly comes to Gemma’s aid outside a nightclub.

The success of The Summer I Turned Pretty can be attributed to the brilliant writing of Jenny Han, the author of the YA romance novels that inspired the TV series. Brown acknowledges Han’s skill in crafting a story that resonates with viewers, tapping into universal themes of friendship, love, and coming of age. “It’s amazing to be part of a project that explores these aspects of life that we all can relate to,” she adds.

As the show continues to captivate audiences around the world, fan edits and reaction videos on social media have been overwhelmingly positive toward Brown’s character. Fans appreciate Gemma’s straightforward advice and support for Belly, making her a fan favorite among viewers.

Transitioning from her role as Tara Jones in Netflix’s Heartstopper, Brown is no stranger to the world of teen romance adaptations. She recognizes the impact that these shows can have on young audiences and feels privileged to be a part of shaping and inspiring young minds through her work.

And while the secrets of the finale remain tightly guarded, Brown remains tight-lipped on the burning question of whether she’s Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah. Instead, she emphasizes her allegiance to Team Gemma and Team Belly’s friendship forever, highlighting the importance of strong bonds and support among friends.

As fans gear up for the thrilling finale of The Summer I Turned Pretty, the excitement continues to build around this captivating series that has struck a chord with viewers of all ages.
