Rothwell agrees with her. who worked at the Hawaii resort, home to Season 1.
91裸聊视频淚 don91裸聊视频檛 know what I did in a previous life to deserve this, but I91裸聊视频檓 so grateful to be a part of this family,91裸聊视频� Rothwell says.
Viewers told Rothwell that they were mad at the affluent Tanya for not investing in Belinda91裸聊视频檚 dreams in the first season. The actor attributes this enthusiastic fandom to the show91裸聊视频檚 initial release during the coronavirus-related lockdowns.
91裸聊视频淭hat91裸聊视频檚 what people wanted at a time when the world was at a standstill,91裸聊视频� she says. 91裸聊视频淚t gave people a chance to sort of imagine and dream and watch the world of high-class vacationing and seeing the underbelly of it.91裸聊视频�
There was a bit of jet lag
Not all the of cast found seven months away from home easy. Wood, who previously starred in says that living and working on location got 91裸聊视频渧ery claustrophobic.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淯sually you wrap and you go home. But it was like, wrap 91裸聊视频� and then I would walk five steps to my little room.

Thailand gets top billing
Each season, the cast ventures to a new White Lotus resort in vacation hot spots. This time, along with the scene-stealing monkeys (and reptiles), gets more of a storyline than Hawaii or Sicily did in the first two seasons.
Monaghan says that the characters (and therefore the cast) got to explore on a sightseeing tour: 91裸聊视频淭hey really leave the actual White Lotus resort. We see them discovering local joints and they really take in everything that Thailand has to offer. And I think that91裸聊视频檚 a real departure from what we91裸聊视频檝e seen before. And I think it makes the scope of the show feel a lot bigger.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淎udiences, too, will really love seeing so much of this country,91裸聊视频� agrees Rothwell. 91裸聊视频淚t feels like another character.91裸聊视频�

Monaghan91裸聊视频檚 Jaclyn is on a girls trip with two old school friends, played by Carrie Coon and Leslie Bibb. Like her character, Monaghan has struggled to find time to get away with her friends and finds White91裸聊视频檚 portrayal of the female dynamics true to life.

Wood91裸聊视频檚 Chelsea has all the vibes and wardrobe of a vacationing Kate Moss. She91裸聊视频檚 staying with her older partner Rick (Walton Goggins), who is not much fun to be around.

Thailand91裸聊视频檚 Lek Patravadi plays a White Lotus owner 91裸聊视频� she91裸聊视频檚 also the resident diva, fabulously dressed and worshipped as such. Soaking up the sun in a family suite is Parker Posey, living the lavish lifestyle of Victoria Ratliff, who is staying with her husband (Jason Isaacs), two sons and daughter Piper, portrayed by Sarah Catherine Hook.
Getting beach-ready
91裸聊视频淚t was literally like marinating yourself in 100% humidity,91裸聊视频� explains Monaghan of her weekly fake tan sessions, endured to get the golden glow of her sun-worshipping character.
91裸聊视频淓very Sunday I was applying that fake tan and waiting all while my co-stars were down at the beach, you know, enjoying the sunset, having a beer. I was like in my hotel room waiting for this spray tan to dry,91裸聊视频� recalls Monaghan.
Wood got a real tan for the first time in her life. Despite being, in her own words, 91裸聊视频渢ranslucent,91裸聊视频� spending seven months in Thailand gave her a slight color.
91裸聊视频淢akes sense why I91裸聊视频檝e never got one in like a two-week holibobs,91裸聊视频� quips Wood.
The plus-one question
How do they each rank as Wood reckons her laid-back character would be a great person to go on holiday with.
91裸聊视频淐helsea honestly could sit outside like a 7-Eleven and have a beer. As long as she had someone to chat to, she just doesn91裸聊视频檛 mind,91裸聊视频� she says. 91裸聊视频淎lthough she doesn91裸聊视频檛 stop talking. But that91裸聊视频檚 also like me, she is a yapper.91裸聊视频�
Rothwell says Belinda91裸聊视频檚 hospitality knowledge makes her an excellent vacation buddy.
91裸聊视频淪he91裸聊视频檚 just a people person and I91裸聊视频檓 not in real life, like she91裸聊视频檚 good with people and I91裸聊视频檓 very much an introvert and, you know, have social anxiety and get nervous tons and I feel like Belinda would get me out of my shell,91裸聊视频� Rothwell laughs.
And Monaghan91裸聊视频檚 Jaclyn has a lot (of money) going for her as a plus-one.
