00:00Finish this sentence. It's not summer without the beach.

00:06Love that. You gotta be at the beach. Cousin's Beach, though.

00:09Cousin's Beach, of course.

00:11Well, this is the final season. Walk me through that final table read or that final day on set.

00:16What was it like for you guys?

00:18Um, you know, it's...

00:22I feel like the first season was so magical because we had the Deb Ball.

00:25We could all finish together in a big celebratory fashion.

00:30And, you know, this season is still like, oh, he's finished. Bye!

00:34And then she's finished and bye!

00:36So you don't have that full, like, wrap-up.

00:38I feel like maybe after the end of this, after being together again and talking about the show all together,

00:46it'll start to sink in.

00:49Do you feel like fans will be satisfied with whatever choice Belly decides to make at the end of this?

00:55I would like to hope so, but everyone has their own opinion.

00:58So I feel like I have no idea.

01:03Well, this is such a passionate fan base.

01:06I know at times there can be discourse about certain characters.

01:10I know for the show they put out an anti-bullying statement actually before the show was released,

01:16or this season was released.

01:17What do you make of what all the discourse and the statement that they made?

01:22I mean, I think it's important.

01:23We love that the fans are so passionate about this show.

01:26We love that they have strong opinions, but we are actors, and it's a story, and it's kind of a romantic story.

01:32It's a story that you can get on, like, the rollercoaster ride of and just enjoy.

01:38So I hope that they can just have a good time watching the show.

01:43Could you see a world in which we revisit these characters in the form of a spin-off or a movie?

01:49I mean, we can talk to Jenny and find out.

01:53What would that look like for your character, maybe?

01:55A spin-off.

01:55Oh, a spin-off.

01:58Someone just said to me it'd be interesting to see young Laurel and Susanna, which would be amazing.

02:03But I would also love to see Laurel and, you know, where she goes with her romance and her career.

02:09Yeah, why not?

02:10Okay.
