UPDATE: In a revealing interview, Gavin Casalegno has just defended the character Denise as the ideal match for Jeremiah over Belly in the hit series The Summer I Turned Pretty. Speaking exclusively to Us Weekly at the T-Mobile exclusive unveiling during the Las Vegas Grand Prix, Casalegno shared his insights on the complex love dynamics that captivated fans.
Casalegno, 26, emphasized that Denise offers a fresh perspective on Jeremiah, stating, “I think Denise does see Jeremiah in a different light.” He explained that the long-standing familiarity between Belly and Jeremiah might have limited their relationship’s growth. “Denise is more real and brings different parts of Jeremiah out of him,” he added, indicating that this new dynamic could reshape their storyline.
Despite the finale showcasing Jeremiah in a relationship with Denise, Casalegno expressed hesitance about the timing of this development. “It might be a little too early for him to be jumping back into a relationship,” he noted humorously. “But whatever makes him happy. Go for it!” This candid reflection has resonated with fans who are concerned about Jeremiah’s emotional readiness.
The series, based on Jenny Han‘s beloved novels, concluded its initial run in September 2023, but the excitement continues as Prime Video announced a feature film to wrap up the story. Casalegno revealed, “I don’t have a script. I don’t even know when I’m filming,” adding that he is set to return next year, leaving fans speculating about what’s next for Jeremiah.
“There is another big milestone left in Belly’s journey,” Han stated, expressing gratitude to Prime Video for supporting her vision in bringing this final chapter to life.
Fans have eagerly awaited updates on Jeremiah’s character arc, with Casalegno expressing hope for his character’s growth. “I hope he continues cooking and pursuing his own passions — but I really don’t know,” he shared, showcasing his enthusiasm for where the narrative will lead.
As he reminisced about the secrecy surrounding Belly’s choice, Casalegno admitted, “I had a blast teasing everyone—being Team Jeremiah was a lot of fun!” His playful engagement with fans has kept the conversation lively and fueled speculation about the series’ love triangle.
Amid the buzz around the series, T-Mobile executives made headlines for their innovations at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. They unveiled AI-powered tools designed to simplify customer switching processes, demonstrating their commitment to enhancing user experiences.
As the excitement builds for the future of The Summer I Turned Pretty, fans are left on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating what lies ahead for their favorite characters. Stay tuned for more updates as this story continues to develop!
