The secrets began before I even auditioned, says The Summer I Turned Pretty actress
The secrets began before I even auditioned, says The Summer I Turned Pretty actress
The Summer I Turned Pretty fans are preparing for this week's series three finale - and many are desperate to know how the season will end.
The Amazon show has been a breakout hit for young viewers and the tech giant is taking no chances of spoiling the story.
For actress Corinna Brown, who plays Gemma, the secrecy began before she even auditioned.
"There were codenames galore," she remembers. "There was a codename for the title of the show, there was a codename for my character.
"I thought up until maybe two days before we started shooting that my character was called Maeve.
Amazon are very good at keeping it a secret.
So keen are producers to prevent spoilers, BBC News is speaking to Brown under the condition she doesn't discuss the finale, which drops on Prime Video on Wednesday.
Warning: The below may contain spoilers - especially if you haven't watched series three of the show
Millions are gripped by the show's love triangle plot between Isabel 'Belly' Conklin, played by Lola Tung, and brothers Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher, played by Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno.
Among the obsessions for fans have been a tiny engagement ring, a two-tier mirror glaze dark chocolate cake with raspberries and that sensual peach scene.
Brown's character Gemma is one of Belly's new friends she meets after her move to Paris. So what was it like to be part of a cultural phenomenon?
"It was so exciting because it's so highly anticipated and everybody wants to know what's going to happen," London-born Brown, 26, says.
The fan base are so passionate, which is something you don't always get.
She says she "didn't really realise" how big the fandom of the show was until its release.
So I think that was a good thing, to be fair, because otherwise, from the beginning, I would have been like: 'Oh my God'.
As the show's Paris-era was unlocked, viewers have been introduced to a new supporting cast in Belly's circle in the French capital, including Gemma, who like Belly, is new to Paris.
Brown describes her character as a "kindred spirit" to Belly.
They meet outside a nightclub, when Gemma is being bothered by a man. Belly steps in to help her out and the two become friends.
Brown says it is one of her favourite moments and shows "women supporting each other".
According to Amazon, this season's first episode drew in 25 million global viewers, a 40% increase on the previous season, with Prime Video saying it is its most-watched TV season among women aged 18-34.
Brown thinks the success of the show comes down to the writing by Jenny Han, who wrote the young adult (YA) romance books the TV series is based on.
"She knows what she's doing. She's got everybody hooked from the books," Brown says.
It's lucky me to be a little part of that.
Brown feels another reason why the show resonates is "because we all go through it".
"We go through friendship, heartache, love, confusion. For the audience that watch this show and love The Summer I Turned Pretty that is a big thing, it's a new thing, it forms so much of your life.
"Being able to watch someone's else experience of that is helpful... and we all love a bit of romance," she says.
Beyond the traditional audience watching on screens, there are countless fan edits and reaction videos posted on social media, which Corinna says have been positive towards her character.
They've been lovely. I've only seen good things. They say they like Gemma giving her [Belly] straight advice.
Already beloved by YA fans for her turn as Tara Jones in Netflix-hit Heartstopper, Brown is no stranger to the world of teen romance adaptations.
"With any show that's for a young audience, you have to have that awareness of the young minds that you're inspiring, shaping," Brown says.
And that's an honour in itself.
Amid all the buzz of the show, secrets are tightly guarded and with the finale about to drop we are not allowed to ask Brown what happens in it.
But we can't help but ask what feels to fans like the summer's most pressing question: Are you team Conrad or team Jeremiah?
"I'm going to keep my lips tight on that one," Brown says, smiling.
But what I will say is I am Team Gemma and Team Belly's friendship forever.
