Jennifer Coolidge Hopes Greg Gets an Even Worse Fate in The White Lotus Season 3
So, Jennifer Coolidge is back in the chat about “The White Lotus” and her iconic character Tanya’s not-so-great luck last season. You remember, right? Tanya, the fabulous and oblivious woman, took a dive off a yacht after realizing Greg — played oh-so-sleazily by Jon Gries — had pulled a fast one on her. Well, shocker: Greg made it out alive to terrorize a new group of unsuspecting guests in Thailand! In a recent interview with Forbes, Coolidge weighed in on her hopes for what happens to him next in this chaotic dramedy. “I hope he gets it! I hope they do something terrible to him,” she quipped. That’s some fierce loyalty to her onscreen story arc, which as we know, ended in tragedy for Tanya. She won two Emmys for this role, so there’s some history here!
The new season, which premiered on February 16, is all about mystery and suspense. Coolidge describes it as “really eerie,” suggesting that viewers are in for a twisty ride filled with unexpected turns. There’s already buzz about Natasha Rothwell’s character, Belinda, spotting the dastardly Greg. But with series creator Mike White at the helm, you can bet there are a lot more surprises in store. Let’s face it, we’re all bracing ourselves for what’s bound to go horribly wrong, as is Coolidge: “I think it’s really going to go wrong. I can’t wait!”
Coolidge’s one-liners have become meme royalty — “This gays, they’re trying to murder me!” — and the actress herself finds the internet’s love for these quotes “hilarious.” In a chat with Gold Derby, she acknowledged the wild popularity of her line, joking that it’s the ultimate compliment. And when she snagged her second Emmy, she humorously thanked “all the evil gays” who contributed to her win. With a blend of camp, unexpected twists, and jaw-dropping humor, “The White Lotus” continues to captivate audiences, and we’re all in for another wild ride this season!
