Laurie might be on vacation in “The White Lotus,” but she’s hardly relaxing. In fact, headed into Sunday’s finale, actress Carrie Coon says Laurie’s officially “hit rock bottom” — but in a good way.
In season 3 of the HBO series, Coon’s character — a high-powered New York lawyer fresh off a divorce — is drinking her way through a Thailand getaway with her longtime best friends, Kate (Leslie Bibb) and Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan). But beneath the luxury, tensions simmer—especially when Jaclyn dares Laurie to hook up with Valentine (Arnas Fedaravicius), only to then sleep with him herself.
The betrayal sparks a drunken showdown, leading to Laurie sleeping with Aleksei (Julian Kostov), one of Valentin’s sketchy friends circling the resort.
