What was it like filming such an important moment for Belly and Conrad?
LOLA TUNG:Kind of stressful, honestly.
I remember that being a thing.

They wanted something just really specific because it’s such an important book scene.
I’m pretty sure it’s taken almost word-for-word out of the book.
I was like, “I have to get this right.”
Just that one line I think of, “Are you going to drink your cocoa?”
I was getting so frustrated with myself.
I remember that day specifically.
CHRISTOPHER BRINEY:It was sweet, really sweet.
Immediately after that, episode 3 takes a turn for the worse for Belly and Conrad.
BRINEY:Yeah, it was a lot.
TUNG:It was definitely a challenge.
BRINEY:When it comes down to working, we’re shooting two episodes at a time.
But it was definitely a lot.
But I was really glad that we got to do those really big important moments together.
What was your reaction when you read the script and saw how Belly handled those moments?
So I can see why Belly was upset in both of those situations.
I think it came from a place of love.
BRINEY:It was really fun to explore this different Conrad, because it’s a weird thing.
And then you come back to this same character that is in a lot of ways, very different.
[Laughs] So to be able to play that unapologetically is really fun.
The Summer I Turned Prettyseason 2 debuts new episodes Fridays on Prime Video.
