White Lotus Season 3: Sarah Catherine Hook Reveals There Were No ‘Chemistry Reads’ Instead They Bonded Over ‘Chaotic Group Chat’

by

Just like its previous seasons, White Lotus season 3 is full of chaos – something fans had come to expect. Interestingly, it turns out that the actors who play these comically dysfunctional characters already had a strong bond before they all headed off to Thailand for filming.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the cast of White Lotus shared their unique bonding experience. Sarah Catherine Hook, who plays Piper, admitted that unlike typical shows, there were no pre-screen chemistry tests. Instead, she expressed hope and anticipation, saying, “We all crossed our fingers, hoping we’d feel like a family once we started working together for months.

Before traveling to Thailand, the five individuals who make up the Ratliff family established a family group. Hook remarked, “The Ratliffs were already in a group chat by the time we reached Thailand, and it was the wildest group chat I’ve ever encountered.” Parker Posey emerged as the most active member, constantly sharing fresh insights into her personal life to keep everyone amused.

The youngest member of the Ratliff family shared, “I’d say something like, ‘I need to go now, I have the flu. I should take care of myself, but let me share with you about this interesting bird I recently saw.’ These conversations left Hook with a positive impression about the show, and once everyone arrived on set, they spent nearly every moment awake together.

After everyone in the cast arrived in Thailand, Jason Isaacs began treating his on-screen children as if they were his own, even causing a humorous moment when his actual children had to gently correct him occasionally. Isaacs himself admitted, “I’d often be on FaceTime with my real kids, and I’d say, ‘The kids are here.’ To which they would reply, ‘Dad, we are your kids.’ And I’d respond, ‘I know, I know.’

In the end, everything fell into place, and the unique dynamic between the Ratliff family members truly shone on screen – even amidst the heaviness of their characters’ existential crises. Except for Posey, who brought a delightful dash of humor to the mix by seeming to crave her Lorazepam more than anything else!
