00:00Season 3 of The White Lotus ended with an explosive finale on Sunday night.
00:04Now, the actors whose characters died are reacting to their fatal endings.
00:08Warning, if you haven't watched the finale yet, major spoilers ahead.
00:14On Sunday night, 10 members of the show's cast gathered at the Four Seasons Westlake Village Hotel
00:19to watch the episode together for the first time,
00:21and emotionally witnessed the deaths of Amy Lou Wood's Chelsea,
00:25Walton Goggins' Rick, and Scott Glenn's Jim.
00:28Wood said of filming her character's death scene,
00:30For about two weeks before we shot it, I felt super weird.
00:34It was like this odd, ominous thing that was just hanging over us.
00:37And then it was like the hottest day ever,
00:39and Walton had to like carry me so many times, and it was so hot.
00:43She went on to say,
00:44Obviously being the one that dies, this whole time I've been so sad.
00:47Like Mike White kills Hope.
00:49Because Chelsea is Hope, and he kills her.
00:51And it's like, yeah, but then what I saw just then was like there's so much love in it,
00:55and that's why it's so much more painful because you're having to hold it all at the same time.
01:00But that's life, isn't it?
01:01It's love and pain all the time.
01:03During the Hollywood Reporter's cover shoot with the White Lotus cast,
01:06Wood told us this about her character's ending.
01:09I still can't believe my character, in a way, got her happy ending.
01:17In a really f***ed up way.
01:19While Goggins wasn't at the finale event,
01:21he did share an emotional post about Rick and Chelsea's relationship on Instagram.
01:26He said, in part,
01:27With the heaviest of hearts,
01:28To me, ours was a love story.
01:30It was only ever a love story, hindered by unresolved childhood trauma.
01:34He went on to say,
01:35In the depths of our despair, there is always beauty around us.
01:38If we can sit with our pain, just sit with it, not react, not be defined by it.
01:43It's there.
01:43The love the world is constantly giving in any given moment is there.
01:47Creator Mike White opened up about the show's ending in both an after-episode feature
01:51and on the show's official podcast.
01:53It's a classic theme of Greek tragedy,
01:55of somebody killing the thing that they love and trying to get some revenge.
01:59According to White, there is also a hint to quote a life beyond,
02:02and that love transcends this life.
02:05Even as they're wheeled out to the plane together in their symmetrical coffins,
02:08their love transcends this in some bittersweet way.
