In a recent revelation, Mike White, creator of The White Lotus, decided to cut a subplot featuring a non-binary child from season three. Actress Carrie Coon, who plays Laurie Duffy, stated that she was meant to portray a character struggling with their child's identity, which would have added depth to political discussions among the characters. White acknowledged that while the decision felt right initially, the evolving cultural climate and political sentiments made him rethink its inclusion, feeling it could overshadow the core themes of the show.
Coon explained that her character's non-binary child would have added layers to political discussions among friends, making the narrative more provocative, especially in light of current events.
Mike White clarified that although the plot about a non-binary child seemed relevant initially, a change in the political climate influenced his decision to remove it from the show.
