'The White Lotus' Still Hasn't Filled the Void That Jennifer Coolidge Left Behind
The White Lotus Season 3 hasn't tried to capitalize on the love for Jennifer Coolidge's Tanya by replacing her, and that is the right move.

Not even the three-year wait for Season 3 has made it easier to move on from what Jennifer Coolidge brought to The White Lotus. The selfish, gears turning a little too slowly glam queen that is Tanya McQuoid became a career-defining performance for Coolidge. The fact that the character could take down the men out to kill her without looking where she was shooting, mind you, and then die by her own hand culminated in a role that was tragically funny. Tanya may be dead, but she hasn’t been forgotten by the audience or the show, although her sketchy husband Greg (Jon Gries) certainly wants that to be the case.
