The White Lotus Cast Reveals Shocking Secrets and Justice for Tanya!

by

Attention, here comes a warning: The following narrative includes plot twists from the final episode of Season 3 of “The White Lotus“, currently available on Max.

Aimee Lou Wood is yet to get over the finale of “The White Lotus.” During a cast panel on Sunday evening, the actor’s voice trembled and she came close to tears just two minutes into the discussion.

She commented on Chelsea’s death scene, finding it unusual but difficult to witness. ‘It was heart-wrenching,’ she said, as various elements of the episode brought her close to tears. ‘From the start, Saxon’s sorrowful expression… I feel a sense of discomfort,'” she explained.

On Sunday evening, numerous actors from the show “The White Lotus at Four Seasons,” sponsored by American Express, convened for an interactive event marking the start of its third season. Following the movie screening, Wood, Leslie Bibb, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sarah Catherine Hook, Jason Isaacs, Sam Nivola, Tayme Thapthimthong, Jon Gries, Charlotte Le Bon and Nicholas Duvernay joined for a discussion session, facilitated by “Queer Eye” star Tan France.

Initially, Thapthimthong pondered over the thought, ‘I don’t feel right about shooting him from behind’… but a choice had to be made, he explained regarding Gaitok taking down Rick, who was carrying Chelsea’s lifeless body. Fortunately, the creator Mike White offered comfort and confidence. He said, “Have faith, it will be justified.” And indeed, I felt that it truly was.

In this discussion, Wood whispered to Bibb (who was the sole cast member not viewing the episode), “It’s unbelievable!

Regarding her role, Bibb initially had concerns as she read the script, expressing, “Our storyline seems a bit dull,” in reference to her character’s journey alongside Michelle Monaghan and Carrie Coon. When the audience reacted with surprise, she quickly added, “I mean, compared to some other characters!” or simply, “It seemed rather ordinary next to some others!

As a cinephile, I found it intriguing when we were discussing the female characters, comparing them like women often do with phrases like “Oh my God, it’s not enough.” Yet, an unexpected twist came when one of the crew members on set expressed that their storyline was his favorite. This sparked a chain reaction, and I began to notice more people resonating with it. Initially, we didn’t anticipate such a strong response. But now, I can’t help but feel that it’s all thanks to Mike’s exceptional writing and direction. It seems the story has taken on a life of its own, and I believe it’s a testament to his talent.

Below are a few other fun tidbits from the panel:

Gries asserted that following Season 2, he spent an extensive amount of time arguing Greg didn’t kill Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge). “The evidence wasn’t strong enough to convict him in a court of law… One day I approached Mike and said, ‘I’ve been preoccupied with the idea that I didn’t mean to kill her… I need to discuss this with you.’ He replied, ‘You already know your character. You’ve portrayed him well.'” Later, he posed a question to the show’s creator: “Is my character a psychopath?” To which White responded, “Yes, a psychopath.

Instead of stating truthfully that he wasn’t filming a show, Gries deceived his friends and family by telling them he was working on a remake of ‘The Sand Pebbles’, an old film starring Steve McQueen, and filming it in the Philippines.

Duvernay comments on Belinda’s significant action: “It was truly rewarding to see a modicum of justice for Tanya at last – after three seasons, we were finally able to provide her with a sense of resolution.

Isaac discusses the future of his character: “It seems like the Ratliff wing at Duke University might have been demolished!

Isaacs, hesitant about discussing his potential return to a White Lotus resort, quipped humorously: “The mere act of donning that Duke shirt was already causing enough legal hassles!” (Note: He wore a different Duke shirt during the panel.)

Schwarzenegger stated that his character experienced a tough time, which he described as being put through the ringer. He also mentioned that the two female characters and his brother made things particularly difficult for him. Isaac then joked, “There was certainly some relief involved!

Now that we know she’s actually quite spoiled, let’s brace ourselves for her turning into a high-maintenance lady!
