‘The White Lotus’ Star Carrie Coon Discusses ‘Humiliating’ Hookup and Window Scene in Season 3

Carrie Coon dished on her 'humiliating' hookup on The White Lotus, as well as her window escape scene that had fans cheering on her character's mishaps.

Actress Carrie Coon opened up about her The White Lotus character Laurie Duffy’s hookup with Aleksei, played by Julian Kostov, on episode 7 of season 3, discussing how the corporate lawyer was mortified after finding out he was only after her money. “She had a good time, but it’s really driving home that this whole vacation has been about reflecting on the choices she’s made in her life, especially as they exist relative to her girlfriend’s lives — which, at least on the surface, are much more successful than her own at this point,” Carrie continued about the aftermath of Laurie’s romp with Aleksei. Laurie’s pals Jaclyn Lemon ( Michelle Monaghan) and Kate Bohr ( Leslie Bibb) telling her over dinner that she never takes responsibility for her poor life choices — from a stagnant legal career to her ex-husband — were what drove the character to join Valentin and Aleksei at a Muy Thai fight … which turned out to be yet another bad decision.
