Lola Tung, who plays our favourite indecisive queen Belly Conklin in The Summer I Turned Pretty, has issued a plea to fans as the final season of the show hits our TV screens, amid confirmation that author Jenny Han has made big changes to the storyline.
As we've already seen, The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 is slightly different to the books. Key scenes have been changed, the ending has been changed and Belly's final decision might look at little different than what is written in the novels.
As a result, some fans are understandably going to feel some type of way about it. And now, Lola has urged viewers (and loyal readers) to avoid sending threats to the cast and crew if they don't like what happens.

Speaking in an interview with Teen Vogue, Lola addressed the passionate and vocal fanbase, acknowledging the strong feelings towards the love-triangle at the centre of the story.
"I think we see with a lot of these love-triangle stories, people want the leading girl to end up with someone," Lola said. "When people have an attachment to the characters, they want to see it come together at the end. I’m so grateful that they care so much, but people get a little scary about it."
"Please don't threaten to kill someone if something doesn't go your way — I promise you, it's not that serious," Lola then added. "Jenny [Han] is so smart and she cares so much about the story and making it the best story that it can be. It will be okay."

Lola's plea comes after author Jenny Han revealed that the ending to the show will be different to the end of the book.
"I always knew how I wanted to end the books. But with the show, I went into it with an open mind," Jenny told Elite Daily. "I wanted to approach it with fresh eyes and just see what sort of magic happened on screen. I am somebody who is always changing things up.”
The official Summer I Turned Pretty social media accounts have also issued a zero tolerance bullying policy and have condemned any and all harassment of the cast and crew, as well as members of the fan community.
Sadly, Jeremiah actor Gavin Casalegno has now quit social media and spoken out after fans began "bullying" him over the actions of his character.
"I think it’s important to also understand and realise that this is a fictional story — and it’s also not me," he told The New York Times. "I don’t think there’s a single human being in the world who can carry the emotional negativity to the degree that stuff like this happens."
