Speaking with Teen Vogue in 2024, Jenny praised Lola by saying: "What I love about Lola is she's an amazing secret-keeper. She's an angel…she's a leader and you're never gonna get less than 100% from Lola." Teasing what happens to Belly in season 3, Jenny added: "I'll tell you guys, season 3 is a lot. She goes through the ringer."

Now, Jenny has expanded on the love triangle drama that will unfold in season 3. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, she said: "There's so many amazing scenes for Belly and Jeremiah this season - so many. Lola and Gavin have really great chemistry and got into such a good rhythm with each other."

In the same piece, Lola Tung expanded on Jenny's comments. She teased: "Jellyfish fans love how sweet and how they are, at their core, best friends. That relationship is something that's so special and so unique to them. It's exciting to see this season and how their relationship blossoms."

Jenny then added: "We do have a little bit of a time jump going into season 3, so they needed to have that kind of bond, and it was really seamless. It'll be joyful for people to witness it."

As for how Conrad fits into all this, Jenny said: "Conrad's been away from everyone for a while, and now he's back in the mix with people. It's almost like rediscovering and also seeing the ways that they've both changed and have had some distance from each other, and who are these people now?"

Jenny continued: "We know that he went to Stanford, and so he's continuing on his journey to become a doctor, as you can see from that white coat. I think people won't be surprised to see that."
