Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno open up about final season of "The Summer I Turned Pretty"
Adapted from the book series of the same name, Briney and Casalegno play Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher, two brothers in a love triangle with their childhood friend "Belly," played by Lola Tung.
Without revealing too much, Briney said in the final season, the audience can expect to see the characters they've grown to know, but in different places in their lives.
"Conrad is off at school. He's working on becoming a doctor and lives have moved on," Briney said. "So, they're characters we know but in different places, and drama ensues."
Casalegno described the season as emotionally mature, adding that the audience sees the characters in key developmental stages of their lives.
"We got to see these characters kind of going from high school into their college and from teenage and we get to see this time jump where we see four years of maturing," Casalegno said. "I feel like we get to see these characters right in the middle of so much of the maturing that happens in their life."
Both actors told "CBS Mornings" that they are appreciative of the show's passionate fans.
"It's a story that people can relate to and love. Yeah, we're just grateful that people are passionate about the story we're telling," Casalegno said.
"You root for both of these characters at times," Briney added.
The two have now known each other for four years and said at times, they've spent 14 hours per day on the show's set, which has helped them grow closer.
"You spend a lot of time with these people, and you grow close. I think that sort of speaks to the dynamic we've created," Briney said.

71-Year-Old Jockey Perry Ouzts Approaching New Record
71-Year-Old Jockey Perry Ouzts Approaching New Record originally appeared on Paulick Report. "Ironman" jockey Perry Ouzts, 71, will start a new record for starts in a Thoroughbred horse race in this Saturday's fifth race at Belterra Park in Cincinnati, Ohio. The veteran jockey will enter the starting gate for a 53,579th time, eclipsing the previous record set by retired California-based rider Russell Baze. At this writing, Ouzts sports a record of 53,570 starts– 7,514 wins – 7,013 seconds – 6,694 thirds, for earnings of $53,055,913. The next active rider is Hall of Famer John Velazquez with 37,363 mounts and 6,703 is also the record holder as the oldest jockey to win a race in North America — a feat he accomplished last summer. Ouzts has spent most of his career riding in Northern Kentucky and Ohio. Though he has never won a graded stakes race, he was the subject of an award-winning 2015 documentary "Ironman Perry Ouzts," produced by the Hennegan ranks fifth all-time in wins, trailing only Russell Baze (12,842 wins), Laffit Pincay Jr. (9,530), William Shoemaker (8,833), and Pat Day (8,803).Ouzts told John Engelhardt that loyalty has been a key factor in his success. He credits the support of trainers W.J. Danner, Larry Holt, Joe Woodard, Bill Connelly, Matt Kordenbrock, Barb Riley and Larry Smith for the many winners they have put him up on. He has also had the same agent, Jamie Fowler, for 38 years. Fowler contracted throat cancer in February of 2023 and has undergone 50 radiation treatments, several surgeries, and 10 months of physical therapy. This week, Fowler was declared cancer-free. According to Ouzts: 'I asked if he could still do the job from home when it was discovered, and with texting, video replays and other on-line features, he hasn't missed a beat.' He has won 35 meet titles at River Downs/Belterra Park, 13 titles at the now defunct, Beulah Park and 2 titles at Turfway Park. He won the last race at River Downs and the first race there under its new name Belterra Park. He was the first jockey to win a stakes race at 70 years old. His richest races won were the $200,000 Cradle Stakes (2007), the $100,000 Queen City Oaks (1988) and the $100,000 Green Carpet Stakes (this season). He won four races on a horse named Oats N' Ouzts. He and his wife, Toni have two sons – Kyle (35) and Tyler (32). This story was originally reported by Paulick Report on Jul 24, 2025, where it first appeared.

How Does Agnes in ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty' Differ From the Books?
The Summer I Turned Pretty's third and final season is in full swing, and while all of the characters have changed thanks to a four-year time jump, one of the most surprising shifts has been in broody Conrad Fisher—he's got a friend! Specifically, Agnes, who is quickly becoming a fan favorite. Fans of the original series will recognize her as Conrad's college fling from We'll Always Have Summer, but the Agnes in The Summer I Turned Pretty is very different from the one in the books. Agnes only appears briefly in We'll Always Have Summer, the final book in the original TSITP trilogy, but in show, she's a pretty key part of the story. And those changes, according to actor Zoé de Grand'Maison's interview with Teen Vogue, the changes in her character came directly from Jenny Han herself. 'She said, 'Take a look at the scene in the book.' I was like, 'I already have [laughs].' She said, essentially, we're gonna expand the character and dive into that friendship a little more,' she recounted. In the show, Agnes and Conrad still have a bit of a romantic past, and it's implied that Agnes wanted to have a real relationship with him and he turned her down. But she's more than an ex, she's his best friend and confidante. She's the one person Conrad can actually be honest with about his feelings for Belly, which in turn helps the audience get to know him better. 'I feel like my character's purpose is that I finally give the audience a chance to get into Conrad's head, because she's able to open him up and pull these things out of him,' Zoé said, calling Agnes his 'unpaid therapist.' Later in the interview, she went further, noting, 'We've all seen that sexy, brooding character, and in the movie or show, being that way always works out for them. I like that Jenny challenges that. He needs to grow, and it is cool that Agnes is playing a huge role in being like, 'Hey, buddy, you know, you're great and I have so much love for you, but you need to make some changes here and you need to address these feelings.''
