Natasha Rothwell Reacts to Surprise Returning Character in ‘The White Lotus’ Season 3: ‘I Was Floored’
Belinda’s Big Comeback
Natasha Rothwell is making a triumphant return to The White Lotus in season 3, reprising her role as Belinda, the warm-hearted spa manager from the show’s first season. But this time, she’s not just working at the resort—she’s a guest. Belinda joins the ranks of the ultra-rich at a lavish Singapore retreat, a far cry from her days serving the whims of privileged vacationers in Hawaii.
Season 3 boasts a fresh lineup of stars, including Sex Education’s Aimee Lou Wood, Justified standout Walton Goggins, the ever-iconic Parker Posey, and acclaimed actors like Carrie Coon, Leslie Bibb, Sarah Catherine Hook, and Jason Isaacs. But one name was noticeably absent from early promotions—until now.
Greg’s Secret Return—And Why It’s a Big Deal
In a recent interview with ScreenRant, Rothwell opened up about her excitement to rejoin creator Mike White’s hit HBO series. While she was thrilled to sign on before even seeing a script, she was in for an even bigger shock once she did.
“When I finally read the scripts and I saw who else was coming back, I was just floored,” Rothwell admitted. She went on to praise White’s writing, saying that the returning character was woven into the story “beautifully and elegantly.” That mystery character? None other than Jon Gries’ Greg.
Greg: The Ultimate White Lotus Villain?
Greg’s return is a game-changer. The only character to appear in all three seasons, he first arrived in season 1 as a seemingly sweet love interest for Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya. By season 2, however, Greg was revealed to be a schemer, plotting to kill his wealthy wife and take her fortune.
With Tanya’s dramatic demise in season 2, Greg was expected to fade into obscurity—but White had other plans. Season 3 reintroduces him in the premiere, spotted at a resort dinner table alongside a younger woman. Given his history, fans are already speculating: Is Greg running another con?
More Mystery and Mayhem Ahead
Greg’s reappearance isn’t the only suspicious development in season 3. Early hints suggest that Jason Isaacs’ and Walton Goggins’ characters might be involved in something criminal, setting the stage for another thrilling unraveling of wealth, privilege, and power.
Rothwell’s excitement for Belinda’s return mirrors the anticipation of fans who’ve been eager to see how her character will navigate The White Lotus’s latest iteration. But with Greg lurking in the background, one thing is certain—trouble is brewing in paradise.
