HBO is thought or its wildly common TV reveals, and Mike White’s The White Lotus is one latest instance. The darkish comedy, which is streaming with a Max subscription, just lately ended its third season, with followers having a robust response to the finale. The Season 3 White Lotus solid introduced again Natasha Rothwell, who acquired sincere about Belinda’s destiny on the finish of the story.
Whereas latecomers work out how one can watch The White Lotus Season 3, hardcore followers like myself are nonetheless dissecting and discussing the way in which it ended. In it we noticed Belinda get her glad ending with Greg’s cash, with each she and her son Zion surviving the capturing within the Thailand resort. Some followers had been bummed that she deserted plans to work with Pornchai, however Rothwell spoke to Individuals and stood up for her character. Within the actress’ phrases:
Individuals inform me to my face, they’re identical to, ‘Oh, you must have taken Pornchai with you.’ And I am like, ‘No ma’am, no sir. She doesn’t owe a person something. She has decentered males. She is centering herself.’
Actually, good for her. Whereas Belinda may need loved her tryst with Pornchai, it is most likely for the most effective that she put herself first. That features getting out of Thailand with Greg’s cash and eventually beginning her personal enterprise within the states. However that additionally meant that she needed to reject Pornchai, each personally and professionally.
The Season 3 White Lotus finale noticed Belinda in some methods mirror what Tanya did to her in Season 1. After getting Pornchai’s hopes up that they could open a clinic collectively in Thailand, she finally went with a extra attractive possibility. Specifically $5 million {dollars}, which is a world-changing quantity of hush cash.
Followers are questioning how Belinda would possibly change with this cash, and Natasha Rothwell addressed whether or not or not she would possibly turn into a foul particular person. In her phrases:
I do not assume so. I believe her coronary heart is nice, however I do assume that she was flirting with being a baddie by taking this cash… So I do not assume she’ll flip dangerous, however I do assume there’s perhaps a consequence by all these choices have, type of that yin and yang.
Penalties do not appear completely out of the query, as we already know that Greg is shady and able to arranging Tanya’s homicide. I’ve to imagine that he’d have the ability to observe down Belinda within the states. What’s extra, she might nonetheless find yourself. being a witness for Italian police who’re making an attempt to determine how Jennifer Coolidge’s heiress died. Whereas talking with Individuals, Rothwell mused about her character’s future would possibly maintain:
Who is aware of? I do not even know if she’s coming again. However in my thoughts I am like, yeah, that most likely could be the factor.
It appears unlikely that Belinda would logistically return to a different White Lotus location as a way to seem in a future season, so we would not ever see Rothwell again within the Emmy-winning collection.
All three season of The White Lotus are streaming now on Max. Hopefully details about the subsequent chapter comes sooner reasonably than later.
