Yesterday (Jul 3), Jenny appeared on the Wild Card with Rachel Martin and Rachel put forward that Belly will have to pick Jeremiah or Conrad in season 3. However, Jenny then interjected and said: "Well, she doesn't. I don't think she has to choose one." Whether Jenny means she can date both brothers or neither is currently unclear.

Expanding further, Jenny added: "That is the tragedy of the story, is that no matter what, you're going to be hurting somebody that you love dearly."

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly previously, Jenny teased: "A successful love triangle is one where, no matter what happens, people are going to be devastated and heartbroken. If the answer feels really clear and easy, then there's no real conflict. No matter what you do, someone's going to be hurt by it."

She continued: "You can't make everyone happy. I wish I could make everyone happy."

Jenny also confirmed that season 3 changes things from the books. She said: "There are going to be surprises. There are the things that they know and then there are things they think they know, and then there's going to be, hopefully, things that surprise them."
