With the penultimate episode of The White Lotus Season 3 now out, anticipation couldn’t be greater for the finale of the HBO drama, which can lastly reveal what precisely occurred within the flash-forward that started this season. Previous seasons of the present started with the revealing of a singular corpse; this season, all we acquired was chaotic gunfire overheard by Zion (Nicholas Duvernay), that means that a number of individuals may very well be killed by unarmed gunmen — or possibly nobody will?
Nonetheless, the risk of homicide is within the air, and having lived with these characters for seven episodes now, the viewers has had an opportunity to actually perceive this present’s giant ensemble, see them at their finest and worst. As a member of that viewers, I’ve come to actually like some characters and consider others aren’t nice. So right here is my extremely subjective rating of Season 3’s characters, based mostly totally on how a lot I hope they don’t survive the finale.
To be clear: These are not predictions. To be sincere, having watched the primary seven episodes, the almost certainly victims at this stage really feel very arduous to foretell — particularly given the vagueness of the unique Episode 1 prelude, which doesn’t verify the existence of a single corpse. Nonetheless, with hazard within the air… let’s assume nobody is secure. (Although there are a couple of individuals who undoubtedly have to be.)

Belinda Lindsey (Natasha Rothwell)
Belinda harmless! Belinda possibly probably the most morally upstanding individual on this present proper now! Belinda simply desires to get the hell out of hazard! Belinda simply had nice intercourse! Belinda is sensible sufficient to know a $100,000 bribe when she sees one! Belinda is perhaps the character I’m most apprehensive about, which sadly coincides together with her being the one I most hope survives.
Zion Lindsey (Nicholas Duvernay)
He throws himself into hazard as a result of he desires to guard his mother! Zion appears genuinely swell.
Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wooden)
A little bit of an odd duck (largely based mostly on her devotion to Rick) however an actual sweetheart of an individual. Even when she does get harm throughout the finale, she’d undoubtedly discover some kind of shiny facet to it.
Fabian (Christian Friedel)
Fabian simply desires to sing! Plus, I’ve been feeling responsible about my lack of ability to separate Christian Friedel right here from his character from The Zone of Curiosity (a film he was very superb in, nevertheless it’s arduous to say “you have been nice because the Nazi commander of Auschwitz” to an individual, you already know?). So, as recompense, I’m rating him as excessive as doable. Fabian additionally harmless!
Laurie Duffy (Carrie Coon)
Laurie’s possibly a little bit of a multitude proper now (no scenario that entails climbing out of a dude’s bed room window will be described as “well-handled”), however she’s revealed herself to be a girl who’s not afraid to go after what she desires, and deserves a second act. She’s undoubtedly my favourite of the ladies’ journey bunch (and never simply as a result of she’s performed by Carrie Coon, the most effective). Sadly, sleeping with Valentin might have put a goal on her again. I’m additionally very apprehensive about Laurie!
Thidapon “Mook” Sornsin (Lalisa Manobal)
LISA from BLACKPINK hasn’t gotten a lot of an opportunity to evolve Mook a lot as a personality, past being a love curiosity for Gaitok… Which could make her a primary goal for the following chaos. She looks as if an excellent individual, although, so it’ll undoubtedly be unhappy if hurt befalls her.
Pornchai (Dom Hetrakul)
One other genuinely good man who desires to open a spa with Belinda! He deserves to reside! I’d make a joke about Belinda deserving a contented ending besides once you’re speaking about masseuses… it will get sophisticated.
Piper Ratliff (Sarah Catherine Hook)
Piper might sound fairly naive, however she was ballsy sufficient to control her complete household into touring to the literal reverse facet of the world within the title of her personal non secular journey. I kinda respect that type of gumption, particularly since she total appears to imply nicely. She actually deserves to be ranked highest amongst the Ratliffs.
