Jennifer Coolidge, who played the beloved Tanya McQuoid on The White Lotus, is desperate for her character’s former husband Greg (now known as “Gary”) to finally get his comeuppance.
Greg/Gary (played by the actor Jon Gries) sent our collective pulses into overdrive when he made a surprise return to The White Lotus this season, especially after conspiring to kill Tanya to inherit her wealth. As season 3 progresses, Greg/Gary’s presence seems more sinister than ever.
When asked whether she wanted justice for Tanya, Coolidge told Deadline, “I don’t have a take on this. No one is giving me any information about how this is gonna go down. I mean, I’m praying there’s some justice for Tanya.
“You know, Greg was a creep. He needs to go down. But I just think it continues to be really interesting, really dark and then we all have to talk about it afterwards. I think it’s a really good sign,” she said.
The actor, who is experiencing the show as a viewer this time, praised the series’ creator Mike White: “[He] continues to surprise me,” Coolidge added. “Mike White has no apologies, he goes for what he wants to do. He doesn’t check with anyone else. He writes a story that he wants to tell, and I just think he’s a genius,” she said.
