Belinda wants one break? What the frick? All she gets is breaks. Works at WL. Travels the world doing what she loves. Asian dude very clearly out of her league bangs her. She gets a $100k cash offer. frick off.
I had this exact same thought. My original thought was actually to tell him you want $500k and you’ll forget he exists, he’d pay it.

But yea you get no breaks? Dude was handing you a break dumbass

I get needing Belinda in the show as a mechanism for recognizing Greg and making him panic a bit, but I'm so tired of her. Her son is awesome though and a voice of reason.

Yeah, Belinda sucks.

She only latched onto Tanya for her money and now is turning down the money out of some loyalty to her even after she bailed on her. Not very realistic or true to the character we were shown.

Timothy tries to poison himself and his family, and it goes horribly wrong. And somehow things work out with the work shite and they end up leaving the same way they came and nobody is knows about it. I think the daughter will change her mind about the monks since Lochlan is now onboard with it.

The cougar trio makes up and leaves BFFs and it's business and pettiness as usual. Although I really hope that continues to blow up even more and they leave hating each other (or at least outwardly hating each other since they already seem to on the inside). But I suspect Laurie's whole thing with Alexei will make her ease up on Jaclyn now.


I think the Ratliff's leave like a big happy family and the cougars leave hating each other

'The White Lotus’ Uncensored Oral History: Mike White and Cast Spill Season 3’s Secrets

The creator and dozens of cast and crew reveal all the inside gossip, incestuous drama and behind-the-scenes mischief of TV’s most sensational hit.


quote:

For seven weeks running, prosthetic privates, brotherly hand jobs and well-executed smirks have reliably titillated The White Lotus‘ very-online audience and dominated the entertainment news cycle. Despite the heady and sometimes alienating themes — or perhaps because of them — HBO‘s once-scrappy experiment has emerged as arguably the most provocative and debated hit of the decade.

I am leaning towards the dad Ratliff's legal issues miraculously resolving, but can't decide if something tragic happens to him or his family or Mike White has them just go back home like nothing happened.

Latched on to Tanya? Tonya basically made her her personal assistant Belinda was catering to Tonya's every need even though it wasn't her job. Tonya made her go to dinner with her after work when all she wanted to do was go home. When Tonya offered to fund her spa she put together a legitimate proposal and then was ignored and given some cash.

I'm not saying Belinda is a great character, but nothing she did in S1 was Belinda latching on to Tonya. Everything she did was perfectly reasonable.

I can see none of them dying but there being a massive blow up between the members. And they have to go home together afterward all hating each other.

I think the parents finding out about incest would probably strain the family relationship.

Gaitok misfires, hitting Chelsea in the teeth, ricocheting and hitting Mook, killing them both. Then in distress, Gaitok shoots himself.

Chelsea gonna die.

Makes me wonder if the preview of the finale from last week with her dressed in yellow and jumping into Rick's arms is as she's dying.

SCHWARZENEGGER I’m just excited to watch the finale with the rest of the world because I actually have no idea what happens.

ROTHWELL I travel a lot, and I’ll have hotel and spa staff come up to me like, “Thank you so much for representation. We have to deal with some crazy guests, and you show how much we have to hold it in. They better not kill you!”

POSEY I forgot who died. It was so stressful when I read it. The dark stuff, I blazed through.

GRIES Whatever you think you know, you’re going to get it wrong.

WHITE It’s an hour and a half. It’s kind of epic. As a filmmaker, it’s probably the piece of work that I’m like, “I can’t believe I did that.”

LE BON People are going to hate Mike White.

WHITE My hope is that it’ll feel like a cathartic sad or a satisfying sad and not a “What the frick?” sad, but people are going to have a million different opinions. You just hope you stick the landing.

Does that potentially eliminate any of the Ratliff's? Surely they'd remember if it was someone they were on set with all of the time (and they're obviously not intentionally being coy about it).

I feel like it eliminates at least her and that she might actually be on Benzos in real life.

I'm with Parker .... I don't recall the finale from the scripts. But I did build a set that is integral to the death scene, which is the only reason I truly know.

Going to be a fun Sunday .... for all of us, fans and crew alike.

JW, Do you have any other projects coming out soon? I have enjoyed getting tidbits from someone invloved in the show. You did a great job of giving some insight without spoiling anything.

Honestly ... there has been a pretty big slowdown in work for most of us. WLS3 was a gift from all sorts of gods in many ways. I left for it on November 27th, 2023 and returned home August 15th, 2024. Since then, I did ten days of reshoots in NYC for a Ryan Reynolds film called "Mayday" ... same directors from Dungeons + Dragons, Game Night and Vacation (I did that with them). Great guys and RR is all of 6'4" tall and ripped. He seemed cool in my limited time with him.

I've been in Pittsburgh for a few weeks starting a project with David Leitch (Bullet Train, Fall Guy). Decent sized heist film for MGM/Amazon. First film since the Holdovers. That said, I won't have anything coming out for a while.

I am hopeful to get a call for WLS4, but who knows really. I might not be available because this one goes to August. In the meantime, some Skenes games and weird french fry sandwiches.
