In a moment of hilarious and relatable panic, Chris Briney found himself in the hot seat this week, and it wasn't on the set of his hit Amazon Prime show. The actor, who plays the brooding Conrad Fisher in 'The Summer I Turned Pretty', was put on the spot during an appearance on the Quinn app's 'Comment Commentary' show—with cringe-worthy results.
The host presented Briney with a seemingly simple quiz about the show's central love triangle, asking him to name the character who famously said the line: "You're it for me, Belly." A wave of visible dread washed over the actor as he was presented with three options: his character Conrad, Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), or Cleveland.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no," Briney muttered, burying his face in his hands in a moment of pure agony. After a long and painful pause filled with nervous laughter, he took a wild guess: "Jeremiah?"
The answer was, of course, spectacularly wrong. The host quickly revealed that the deeply romantic line was, in fact, delivered by his own character, Conrad, in a pivotal season two moment.
Briney's genuine and utterly flustered reaction has since sent TSITP fans into a meltdown on social media. Many found his forgetfulness both endearing and shocking, considering the line is a cornerstone of his character's arc and a major fan favourite.
The viral clip has sparked a wave of memes and comments, with one fan joking about the irony of the situation and another simply stating, "He's so real for this." It seems even the stars themselves can get just as flummoxed by the show's drama as the viewers at home.
