In the third season of The White Lotus, actress Leslie Bibb plays Kate, a well-off 40-something who visits Thailand for a 6-day stay at The White Lotus Resort & Spa with her two best friends from high school, Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan) and Laurie (Carrie Coon).
The most revealing parts of Kate’s character arc are on display in a few must-watch table conversations among the best friends that are so gossipy and rich in dialogue I could’ve easily watched a spin-off show all about these three ladies and the very different lives they lead. At times, Kate’s biggest moments aren’t in big confessionals, but they’re in the little moments from the perfectly styled outfits that are just-so, suggesting that she’s very much an A-type, to her always present smile and sunny disposition, which infers she’s wound a little too tight.
