What Conrad and Laurel Scene Means for Belly in ‘TSITP'
'I was looking forward to this one,' Jackie said in an interview with People. 'I look for those book moments [in the script], and I remember reading this Conrad scene in the book and just thinking, 'Ooh, I love this one.''
In the scene, Conrad convinces Laurel to support Belly and Jeremiah's wedding, even though he's obviously still in love with Belly, because he wants her to be happy, prompting Laurel to ask Conrad when he gets to be happy. (Insert broody Conrad here.)
Jackie, who has played Laurel for three seasons, explained Laurel's motivations in the scene, saying, 'I do think she recognizes that he has feelings for Belly.' She continued, 'And I think she's pushing him a little to open up and let them out, so that he can be happy and not just harbor these feelings and bury them.'
But make no mistake—just because Laurel is encouraging Conrad doesn't mean she wants him marrying her daughter, either. 'I really feel firmly about this, that Laurel is Team Belly,' Jackie said. 'She does not want her to get married at this point in her life—to anyone. She wants her to grow and mature first.'
Still, Jackie admits that Laurel and Conrad's conversation could lead to Conrad actually fighting for Belly in future episodes. 'I see how her being like, 'Hey, find your happiness, Conrad,' could lead to him mucking things up for Jeremiah and Belly.'
Oh, and while chatting with People, she also talked about *those* Laurel and Susannah romance rumors. When asked whether she thought her character might be more than platonic soulmates with Susannah, Jackie admitted, 'It never crossed my mind.'
According to her, it's 'rare to see this kind of love on screen where these women just wholly support each other and care about each other and have a decades-long friendship,' so she can see why fans might get it twisted.
As she explained, 'I can understand how people could interpret it that way, I guess. But yeah, no, I just always saw it as a really, really deep friendship.'

Nicola Peltz's friend slams Brooklyn Beckham's family on Instagram
Nicola Peltz's close friend, Rebecca Faria, has her back. Faria weighed in on Peltz, 30 and her husband, Brooklyn Beckham's ongoing feud with his famous family on Instagram Wednesday, calling the Beckhams 'toxic' and accusing them of putting out 'fake' stories about the couple. The friend commented on Peltz and Beckham's joint Aug. 11 Instagram post featuring photos from their Aug. 2 vow renewal, which Brooklyn's family was not invited to. 13 Nicola Peltz (center) with her friend Rebecca Faria (left). detoxbyrebecca/Instagram 13 Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz. Instagram/ Nicola Peltz Beckham 'I love seeing people who spend years in therapy over toxic family ties coming here and judging someone who actually had the guts to walk away,' Faria wrote under the post. 'Everyone's been kissing the Beckhams' ass forever, and Nicola was the first to stand up for her values since [she] couldn't care less about their fame or money!' Faria continued. 'The moment they couldn't control everything, they lost it and started planting fake press to make her look bad in the public eye.' 13 Rebecca Faria defends Nicola Peltz on Instagram. Faria went on to state that she's known Peltz 'for years' and said the actress is 'genuine, humble, and refuses to live in a fake world.' 'Brooklyn is a grown man who can defend himself just fine!' Faria added about Victoria and David Beckham's 26-year-old son. 'If he walked away, it's because he knows exactly the environment he grew up in.' 13 Nicola Peltz's friend, Rebecca Faria. detoxbyrebecca/Instagram One fan replied to Faria's comment and called Peltz 'a toxic, controlling narcissist hell bent on turning him against his family and friends so she can have him all to herself.' In response, Faria wrote back, 'Calling Nicola controlling is just lazy. She's not holding anyone hostage. Brooklyn is a grown man who's fully capable of making his own choices. He is an adult who's perfectly aware of the life he wants, and he's living it.' 13 Rebecca Faria responds to a fan who called Nicola Peltz 'controlling.' 13 Rebecca Faria in a mirror selfie. detoxbyrebecca/Instagram The Post has reached out to reps for Peltz, Brooklyn, and the Beckhams for comment. Brooklyn and Peltz renewed their vows last week, three years after their April 2022 wedding. 'The event is about honoring the love and commitment they've built together over the years, and creating a memory that will stay with them forever,' a source told People after the ceremony. 13 Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz at their vow renewal.

The insider also claimed that 'some family members are disappointed and frustrated Brooklyn's parents haven't acted like adults or made any good faith effort to mend things with their child.' 13 The Beckham family sans Brooklyn and Nicola. David Beckham/ Instargam Brooklyn and Peltz's wedding seemed to mark the beginning of their rift with the Beckhams. At the time, there were reports that Victoria, 51, was allegedly upset that Peltz did not wear a gown by Victoria's clothing label. The Spice Girl also allegedly made her daughter-in-law cry by hijacking the newly married couple's first dance. 13 Victoria Beckham and Nicola Peltz. Nicola Peltz/Instagram Then, Brooklyn and his sibling, Romeo, 22, reportedly butted heads earlier this year after the younger Beckham brother began dating Kim Turnbull, Brooklyn's rumored ex. In May, Brooklyn and Peltz allegedly refused to attend his dad David Beckham's 50th birthday party in London because they didn't want to be in the same room as Romeo and Turnbull. Romeo and Turnbull ultimately broke up in June, and insiders claimed that the pair split due to the Beckham family drama and the 'strain' it caused their relationship. 13 The Beckham family at David's 50th birthday party.

A source told us the outlet that 'Brooklyn and Nicola didn't purposely unfollow the siblings,' adding, 'It's possible they were blocked.'
