Jennifer Coolidge Has the Best Response to 'The White Lotus's Most Talked-About Scene
Viewers are on the edge of their seats anticipating how The White Lotus will wrap up this drama-filled Thailand getaway. That said, many fans are still not over the jaw-dropping fate Jennifer Coolidge's character, Tanya McQuoid, endured at the end of Season 2. However, the actress is streaming this season just like the rest of us and has some thoughts. In fact, she shared her reaction to one of—if not the, most talked about scene, where brothers Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) and Lochlan Ratliff (Sam Nivola) share a drug and booze-fueled kiss—amongst other things—which set the internet on fire.
Jennifer Coolidge Has the Best Reaction to THAT White Lotus Brother Scene
E! News caught up with Jennifer on the red carpet recently and asked her about that scene between Saxon and Lochlan on the yacht, post-full moon party.
"When I heard that Mike was doing another White Lotus in Thailand, and I … of course was not involved because of my death situation, but I was sort of thinking, 'What could Mike possibly come up with … that would sort of, you know, top all these sort of weird storylines he has,'" the actress said, referring to series creator, Mike White. "What he's come up with, this is the sort of thing that people would be talking about for a very long time."

Here's What Sam Nivola Thinks of the Scene
Sam also shared his honest thoughts about that brother scene, telling Variety, "It was very weird kissing Patrick because he's a really good friend of mine. And, you know, I'm straight, he's straight. It's already weird. It would have been easier if that was the first time we were meeting. Weirdly, it was easier to do things with Charlotte because there were no stakes. It's just this person I've just met. But Patrick was already like a brother to me. It felt sort of fucked up."

His Interpretation of Lochlan and Saxon's Relationship
Many White Lotus fans have been puzzled by Saxon and Lochlan's relationship from the get-go. Sam told Variety that it may stem from Lochlan's insecurities.
"He really looks up to both of his siblings, not from the point of view of a physical attraction," Sam says of the character. "It's more curiosity, and trying to figure out which kind of person he is going to become. He tries to connect with him in whatever way he can. I think Lochlan is a people pleaser, who will try to get people to like him by any means necessary. Looking at Saxon while he's jerking off is not a sexual thing — it's more that he's studying him: 'Who is this guy? How can I get him to like me? How can I become more like him?' What he learns over the first few episodes is that Saxon is the sex guy. His primary motive in life is to make money and get laid. So, the thing on the boat is Lochlan's tragically misguided attempt at being like, 'So, you're the sex guy. Let's do something in that realm and try to connect in some way.' It's obviously a big swing and a miss."
Jennifer's Hopes For Tanya's Ex-Husband
While Tanya is off the show, her presence remains. Greg Hunt, played by Jon Gries, is not only Tanya's ex-husband, but he plotted to have her killed and steal her fortune. In Season 3, the character of Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) suspects Greg of being the murderer.
E! News asked Jennifer to share her thoughts on Greg's future in the show. "I want him to go down in flames," she said. "I don't know what Mike has planned for him, but I don't want him to have a good life. Something terrible needs to happen to Greg. Don't you think?"

Has Sam Nivola Revealed the Ending of The White Lotus Season 3?
Any White Lotus fan will tell you that each season's finale will leave your jaw on the floor. In fact, Season 3 started with a sneak preview of its ending: gun shots and a body being found in the water.
Sam told Variety that he already spilled the tea to his parents and girlfriend about Season 3's ending, telling the outlet, "I told my parents, but I haven't told my sister. She's bad at keeping secrets. I'm not supposed to have told anyone, because I'm under a lot of NDAs. But I told my girlfriend, because she was there while we were shooting it. That's about it. I'm really scared about getting sued by HBO."
As for the rest of us, we'll just have to anxiously await for the final episode to air!
