Jennifer Coolidge Reveals Shocking Feelings About Greg’s Return in The White Lotus

Jennifer Coolidge wants Greg to get a taste of his own medicine.

Following the appearance of Jon Gries’ character, who was once portrayed as the husband of a former “White Lotus” star’s character, in season three, she expressed her thoughts on his depiction and indicated where she would like to see the storyline develop for him.

Jennifer, formerly Tanya on seasons one and two of the Mike White series, shared her feelings with Will Marfuggi at TopMob News in an exclusive interview. She expressed that Greg doesn’t deserve any good things and hopes he encounters something harsh, reflecting her strong dislike for him (Stay tuned to TopMob News next week for more).

Toward the end of the first episode, Jon’s character reappeared, but under a different name. Aimee Lou Wood’s character Chelsea encounters a new acquaintance named Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon) as she tries to keep her distance from her volatile boyfriend Rick (Walton Goggins). While they talk about their abrasive older partners, Chloe mentions her boyfriend, “Gary,” who viewers will recognize is actually Greg.

The characters in the show have started noticing Gary’s suspicious behavior. In the most recent episode, Tanya’s widower mentioned vague job activities, and it didn’t take Rick, who appears to be involved in some questionable business himself, long to figure out that he can’t rely on him.

Of course, Jennifer couldn’t help but express her enthusiasm for the entire production, pointing out that she finds the storyline of Carrie Coon, Leslie Bibb, and Michelle Monaghan’s friendship particularly intriguing.

Mike’s scripts are filled with fascinating elements,” she noted. “I can’t shake off this uneasy feeling about various aspects. What about those three girls? How will their story unfold?

Absolutely, Jennifer, who’s been participating in weekly ‘White Lotus’ viewing parties, also has worries about the plotlines involving Sam Nivola and Patrick Schwarzenegger.

“The two brothers,” she continued. “Something bad is gonna go down there, for sure. It’s riveting.”

Regarding Jennifer, she hasn’t ruled out the crime-comedy genre completely. Following her character’s sudden demise in season two of “White Lotus”, Jennifer is set to feature in “Riff Raff” alongside Bill Murray and Pete Davidson. She labels this project as an exhilarating rollercoaster ride.

The woman, aged 63, strongly recommends that fans of the HBO show should definitely watch the movie, released on February 28th. She was full of praise, saying, “This film is just as excellent as Mike’s ‘White Lotus’.

It’s possible that “Greg” or “Gary,” as you might know him, isn’t the sole figure who seems recognizable to us. For further insights into the cast of season three of White Lotus, continue reading…

Besides these, Isaac has recently been seen on television programs such as Robot Chicken, The Great, and Sex Education. Notably, he worked with his White Lotus co-star Aimee Lou Wood in some of these shows.

Without letting out a yell upon sight, you might recognize Posey (the actress who portrays Timothy’s wife Victoria Ratliff) from her films such as “Superman Returns”, “Blade: Trinity”, “Scream 3” and “Dazed and Confused”. She has also made guest appearances on television shows like “Parks and Recreation”, “New Girl”, “Portlandia” and “Search Party”.

However, devoted romantic comedy enthusiasts recognize her best from the 1998 beloved movie “You’ve Got Mail,” where she portrayed Tom Hanks’ character, Patricia Eden, who was Joe Fox’s girlfriend.

Although he is most famously recognized from family snapshots as the child of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, he has previously established his acting career through roles in shows like Gen V, The Terminal List, The Staircase, and now Saxon Ratliff in season three.

Before playing the role of Piper, Ratliffs’ daughter, Hook had already gained experience in horror and fantasy genres. She played Debbie Glatzel in “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It”, Juliette Fairmont in “First Kill”, and Elena Milak in “Monsterland”.

Apart from recognizing her in the 2024 reboot of “Cruel Intentions” as Caroline Merteuil, you might be familiar with her from Ryan Murphy’s cinematic universe where she portrayed Catherine Allday Davis, a character featured in “Impeachment: American Crime Story,” which revolves around the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Nivola, currently in a relationship with Iris Apatow (daughter of Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann), joins the Ratliff family as Lochlan in the upcoming project. Prior to his adventure in Thailand, he was part of another series revolving around a wealthy beach family: “The Perfect Couple”, where he portrayed Will Winbury, the offspring of Greer and Tag Winbury, characters played by Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber respectively.

Apart from his roles, Nivola has appeared alongside Adam Driver in the movie “White Noise”, worked with Bradley Cooper on the film “Maestro”, and shared the screen with Anne Hathaway in “With/In”.

As a die-hard fan, I’m beyond thrilled to share that I’ll be gracing the screens as Chelsea, the free-spirited charm, in season three. My character will embark on an age-gap romance with Rick Hatchett, portrayed by the exceptional Goggins. Although you might recognize me from my role as Aimee Gibbs in Netflix’s Sex Education , or perhaps from Seize Them! and Daddy Issues.
