CAST AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS OF "THE FOSTERS," INCLUDING EXECUTIVE PRODUCER JENNIFER LOPEZ, TO CHAT LIVE WITH FANS VIA TWITTER DURING THE SUMMER FINALE AIRING MONDAY, AUGUST 5, ON ABC FAMILY

Burbank, CA (August 2, 2013) - Fans of "The Fosters" will have the opportunity to chat live with cast and executive producers from the series during the East Coast and West Coast broadcasts of the series' Summer finale on Monday, August 5th, from 9:00 - 10:00 p.m. ET/PT. "The Fosters" executive producer Jennifer Lopez will be tweeting live with fans via her handle @JLo during the East Coast broadcast from 9:00 - 10:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. PT.

In the Summer finale episode of "The Fosters," entitled "I Do," Stef and Lena try to maintain calm when their parents descend on the Foster house for a very special celebration. Lena's dad, Stewart (played by Stephen Collins), has agreed to officiate the ceremony while her mother, Dana (Lorraine Toussaint), and Stef's colorful, talkative mom Sharon (Annie Potts) attempt to keep things civil when disagreeing on floral arrangements. Sharon tries to strong-arm Frank (Sam McMurray) into attending. Stef avoids telling Lena she plans to return to work as soon as she is cleared. Meanwhile, when Callie's case against Liam (Brandon Jones) boils down to her word against his, she must decide whether or not to lie in order to get some justice out of the situation. Callie and Jude get some news they've been hoping for, but Callie makes an emotional slip that could destroy any chance they finally have at happiness. Jim Hayman directed the episode written by series executive producers Bradley Bredeweg and Peter Paige.
