Lucky in love! Christopher Briney may play one-third of an iconic teen love triangle on Amazon Prime’s The Summer I Turned Pretty series — but in real life, he’s happily taken.
The Summer I Turned Pretty, which debuted in June 2022, features Briney’s character Conrad Fisher — a brooding and emotionally unavailable bad boy — as one of two main love interests for series protagonist Isabel “Belly” Conklin (Lola Tung). The teen rom-com is based on a book trilogy of the same name by showrunner Jenny Han and follows Belly through her adventures in Cousins Beach as she figures out if her heart truly lies with Conrad or his brother, Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno).
Conrad is the unmistakable heartthrob of the series, the boy Belly has endlessly swooned for since she was a young girl. Despite her endless flip-flopping, it feels inevitable that Belly’s heart will always belong to Conrad — something Briney didn’t quite understand when he first stepped into the role.
“When I first read the book and when the script started coming in, I was like, ‘This dude kind of sucks,'” he revealed during a June interview with POPSUGAR. “He’s really rude and he’s not telling people how he feels, and that’s why he’s in all this trouble.”
As time went on, however, the Connecticut native realized that Conrad, who is holding onto secrets about both his dad’s infidelity and mom’s recent cancer diagnosis, is just a teenage boy trying to deal with his own emotions.
“He’s just young and … just trying to keep it together for the people he loves,” the actor explained. “Yes, he owes an apology to some people in the world, but he’s 17. He can make mistakes. He’s going to continue to make mistakes, and he’s just hurt.”
