So what precisely is Tanya’s ex Greg as much as in The White Lotus Season 3? What little clues has collection creator, author, and director Mike White already despatched our manner? And what does it imply that Belinda, the opposite White Lotus Season 1 character who was near Tanya, can also be in Thailand similtaneously Greg?!?
Right here’s every thing you must learn about The White Lotus Season 3 premiere’s largest spoiler: the return of Jon Gries as Greg Hunt…
Is That Greg in The White Lotus Season 3?
Sure, Greg is again in The White Lotus Season 3! We see him sitting glumly within the White Lotus Thailand’s restaurant whereas his sizzling new girlfriend complains about him to Aimee Lou Wooden’s Chelsea.
In line with Charlotte Le Bon’s Chloe, Greg is without doubt one of the many bald LBHs you’ll discover in Thailand. “LBH” stands for “losers again residence.” Greg has apparently been holed up in Thailand for a couple of yr, dwelling in a home atop a hill near the White Lotus. (Apparently this dude is actually into White Lotus inns.) And former mannequin Chloe’s been with him the entire time.
You’ll keep in mind that in The White Lotus Season 1, Greg appeared as a form suitor for the lonely Tanya. He informed Tanya that he was coping with a terminal sickness and the rich lady promised to pay for no matter remedy he would want.
In The White Lotus Season 2, the now married Hunts journey to Italy on trip and there are indicators of friction within the marriage. Greg appears annoyed by Tanya’s habits, particularly her choice to deliver her assistant Portia (Haley Lu Richardson) alongside. She overhears him speaking on the telephone about her being “clueless” earlier than he has to abruptly fly to Denver for work.
Tanya quickly is befriended by Quentin (Tom Hollander), an enthralling homosexual British man who showers the lonely lady with consideration. It quickly turns into clear, by numerous clues within the present, that Quentin was as soon as in love with Greg and the 2 males are scheming to kill Tanya so Greg can inherit her fortune. Their plan goes awry when Tanya realizes what’s occurring. After killing her would-be assailants, Tanya dies anyway by hitting her head.
It appears that evidently Greg managed to inherit Tanya’s hundreds of thousands and that he has been laying low in Thailand this entire time (or at the least for a yr). Chloe could or could not learn about his previous with Tanya, however she positively doesn’t have a excessive opinion of him. Will probably be attention-grabbing to see what else we are able to glean about their relationship within the weeks forward.
One thing else to be careful for? Whether or not or not Greg and Belinda will cross paths. Belinda by no means actually bought to know Greg in The White Lotus Season 1, however she positively knew Tanya. Earlier than she ran off with Greg, Tanya wished to fund Belinda’s dream well being spa. Tanya even expressed an inkling of guilt over this in Season 2, when she questioned aloud if Belinda had cursed her.
Would Belinda acknowledge Greg if she noticed him? Does Greg have designs on a brand new character to con? Is the saga of Tanya McQuoid even over?
We’ll need to carry on tuning into The White Lotus on Sundays on HBO and MAX to seek out out.
