The White Lotus is one of the most star-studded shows on TV, and much to fans' delight it has recently returned for its highly anticipated third series.
The new series introduced characters like Aimee Lou Wood’s Chelsea, Sam Nivola’s Lochlan Ratliff, Jason Isaac’s Timothy Ratliff and offers the return of Natasha Rothwell’s Belinda. However, the most unexpected face of all was Jon Gries, also known as Tanya’s husband, Greg Hunt, and now apparently also known as Gary.
Creator Mike White was thrilled at the chance to bring back the villainous Greg, saying, ‘I got excited, because I was like, "This is how we can keep the Tanya storyline alive."'
He continued, ‘This is where he would end up, and this is the kind of situation he'd be in. These guys, there's always a woman – usually a much younger woman – in their life. But you don't get the sense that there are many other people.’
