Aimee Lou Wood Says This White Lotus Character's 'Fake' Death Was Planted To Avoid Spoilers

Aimee Lou Wood as Chelsea in the third season of The White LotusThe mystery around which character will die in each season of The White Lotus is what keeps us hooked from the get-go, and creators took some pretty big steps to avoid spoilers in the show’s third outing. And be warned – there are plenty of those ahead…Season three of Mike White’s dark comedy-drama concluded back in April with one of its most explosive finales yet. The most recent Thailand-set instalment threw some pretty big curveballs our way before it was finally revealed that three characters ultimately met their ends at the resort: Walton Goggins’ Rick, Aimee Lou Wood’s Chelsea and Jim Hollinger played by Scott Glenn.During a recent interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Aimee shared that a “fake death” was planted on the schedule during the shoot, just in case the news was leaked to the press.She then revealed that the call sheet’s red herring suggested it would be Natasha Rothwell’s season one OG Belinda – the spa worker who spent the latest series in a frosty standoff relating to the death of Jennifer Coolidge’s iconic character Tanya – who would meet her end.“I started going, ’OK that’s clever that we’ve put a fake ending so it doesn’t get out,” the Sex Education star said.“But then I started going, ’This is Mike White. And he loves messing with people. So what if I’m filming the fake death? What if that’s the real death?”She went on to say: “When I was watching it, there was a little part of me that thought, ‘Is he gonna surprise me and Chelsea lives?’.”Natasha Rothwell plays Belinda in The White LotusAimee also revealed that she was privy to her character’s fate from as early as the auditions.“I knew the whole time, and then you have to just kind of put it out of your head, because Chelsea doesn’t know she’s going to die,” she told the talk show host.Speaking to GQ in a recent interview, Aimee revealed that her character’s fate weighed heavily on her throughout proudction.“I was obsessed with Amy Winehouse and Brittany Murphy, all these women I love and admire who died too young,” she told the outlet. “I look at them and see what they could have done. And they didn’t get to do it.”Aimee then revealed that even creator Mike worried about whether he had chosen the right character to sacrifice.“He doubted it a lot. He came up to me a few times and said, ‘Are people going to hate me too much? I don’t know if this is too far,’” she shared. “She’s the most hopeful character on the show and that’s why she has to die, but obviously on a human level it is really fricking sad.”Aimee and her co-star Walton recently revealed that there was a deleted intimate scene in the show’s finale that might have helped soften the blow of their untimely departures. At the same time, the pair put rumours to bed that there was any bad blood between them after speculation of a falling out swirled following the show’s conclusion.MORE WHITE LOTUS:21 Best Behind-The-Scenes Stories From The White Lotus Cast About Their Time On SetThese Were All The Clues Foreshadowing What Went Down In The White Lotus FinaleWhere Will The White Lotus Be Heading For Season 4?
