Natasha Rothwell is heading back to rich idiot paradise for The White Lotus season 3
Natasha Rothwell's season 1 fan-favorite spa manager Belinda Lindsey appears to be heading to Thailand for the HBO series' next installment

When God closes a door (rest in peace, Tanya McQuoid), he opens a wellness center. Natasha Rothwell is officially returning to The White Lotus for season 3, Variety confirms, ostensibly reprising her role as spa manager Belinda Lindsey.
A kind-hearted listener to a fault, Belinda was a season 1 fan favorite, winning friends and influencing people with the killer service-industry combination of a dogged work ethic and a warm, inviting smile. Most towering among those friends was the one and only Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge, who won an Emmy last year for the role), who promised Belinda she would finance the wellness center of her dreams before ultimately ditching the plans for a new guy: Greg (Jon Gries).
So far, the details on The White Lotus season 3 have been scarce but resonant: we know now that it will be set in Thailand, and creator Mike White has hinted that the season will be “a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality,” a tease that certainly leaves room for plenty of wellness storylines. Whether Belinda will return to the eponymous resort as an employee or a guest remains tantalizingly up in the air.
One thing’s for (pretty) certain: Belinda won’t be getting swindled by Tanya again in season 3. Those who tuned in religiously for the Sicily-set second season no all too well how Tanya and Greg’s little love affair played out. The seemingly benevolent, stylish gays Tanya galavanted through Italy with turned out to be a vulturous crew helmed by Quentin (Tom Hollander), who Greg had hired to murder Tanya in a plot to cash in on her wealth.
So early in the “pick apart every detail of season 3" game, it feels pretty far-fetched to imagine Belinda had anything to do with Tanya’s watery grave, consciously or unconsciously. But as The White Lotus starts to look a lot more like a franchise than a limited series, anything feels possible. Bring on the detailed lore!

Will the vacation be paid for by a billionaire who collects Nazi memorabilia?
Fartwhisker McBrewterd’s Brewterds had become a sensation, loved
by people from all walks of life. They came in all sorts of varieties, from
creamy chowders to hearty stews, and each one was a masterpiece of flavor and
texture.But with
popularity came competition, and soon people began to argue over which
Brewterds were the best.“I like
the creamy mushroom Brewterd the best,” one person would say.“No
way, the spicy chili Brewterd is the clear winner,” another would counter.The debates
raged on, with people defending their favorite Brewterds and trying to convince
others to switch sides. Fartwhisker watched with amusement, happy to see that
his creations had inspired such passion.As the
arguments continued, Fartwhisker decided to host a Brewterd tasting event. He
invited people from all over the city to come and sample his various creations,
hoping to settle the debate once and for all.The event
was a huge success, with people lining up to try each of the Brewterds. Some
were surprised to find that their favorite had been dethroned by a new
contender, while others remained steadfast in their loyalty.
I’m so glad she’ll be back. While I thought Season 2 was better acted/directed, I enjoyed the characters and the storyline of Season 1 more.
I’m kind of hoping it turns she was in Tanya’s will and is returning as a guest. Bonus if Greg was completely left out.
