Returning White Lotus star says “the spirit of Tanya” lives on in her character

BBG News

Natasha Rothwell, a key player on The White Lotus, has shared insights about her reprisal of Belinda Lindsey. She mentioned that the essence of a renowned character is carried forward in some way.

In the initial run of the HBO series based on a famous hotel chain, a star made their debut. The show focuses on both temporary and permanent residents. After being absent during the second season, it was announced that this actor would return to portray Belinda in the upcoming third season, set to air next week.

In the second season, we sadly said goodbye to Jennifer Coolidge’s character, Tanya McQuoid, through a significant death. Although Rothwell hinted that Belinda might not yet be aware of this turn of events, I can exclusively confirm (as a fan) that Tanya’s unique spirit and attitude will undeniably influence Belinda in some way. (Digital Spy was the source of this exclusive information.)

Rothwell mentioned that the show consistently manages to captivate and astonish, which is a consistent trait. He didn’t reveal whether or not she is aware of certain information, but he believes that the essence of Tanya is within her, even if it isn’t explicitly written in the script.

The encounter with this woman whom she truly valued left such a deep impression on her. In roles of assistance, experiences like these often linger.

Being in close proximity to someone who might cause harm, as she did before, can be quite distressing. I believe viewers will express concern and hope for her safety,” she added.

As Belinda embodies Tanya’s essence, Rothwell additionally discussed the idea that her character functions as a gauge for moral integrity within the series. He further elaborated that a significant aspect of her professional endeavors revolves around amplifying marginalized perspectives.

The actor expressed gratitude for the opportunity to portray a role that served as a moral guide, while also providing comedic relief.

There have been quizzes that help determine which White Lotus character best matches you. People will often share their results, such as “Yes, I’m Belinda,” and others may discover they resemble Jake Lacy from season one, prompting them to say something like “Oh no, I need to work on myself.

In my opinion, it’s intriguing to continue the exploration of that aspect in season 3. This season, however, offers a fascinating exploration as she navigates through moral complexities, trying to discern what is genuine and what is merely an act. I believe the struggle between innate morality and performance is a captivating dance you’ll get to witness this season.

The White Lotus season 3 premieres on Sky Atlantic and HBO on February 16.
