The White Lotus: Meet the only character to appear in all three seasons of the black comedy drama

The White Lotus season 3 premiered on HBO on February 16, 2025, and featured a special surprise for the audience. The show follows an anthology format, where new guests arrive at a luxurious hotel every season.

In the new installment, only Natasha Rothwell was announced to be reprising her role as Belinda Lindsey from the first chapter. However, in the very first episode, another series veteran, Jon Gries, made a surprise appearance as Greg Hunt.

Greg has achieved a rare feat, becoming the only character to appear in all three seasons of The White Lotus. His romance with the fan-favorite Tanya McQuoid, and his eventual betrayal, were a major highlight in the first two seasons.

Greg Hunt appears in all three seasons of The White Lotus

Greg Hunt makes a surprise cameo in The White Lotus season 3 premiere as he is seen sitting at a bar at the Thailand hotel, while his girlfriend, Chloe, chats with Chelsea. The two ladies bond over how they both have older boyfriends who have been acting distant.

Chloe sits beside Chelsea when the latter’s boyfriend, Rick, goes away after being pissed. Chloe explains she fought with her partner as well, and points toward Greg, who is seen on another table with a grim expression on his face.

While Greg does not utter a word in the episode, his brief appearance has become one of the most-talked-about moments from the premiere. Greg seems to be walking free and living off Tanya’s inheritance money after he plotted her murder in the second season.

Tanya realized Greg was cheating on her in season 2 when she heard him saying "I love you" to a woman on the phone. The new season has not yet revealed whether Chloe is the same woman who used to be on the call, or if Greg has moved on with someone else.

Greg manipulates Tanya McQuoid in The White Lotus seasons 1 and 2

Greg arrives at The White Lotus Hotel in Maui mid-way through the first season and acts like a kind, fun guy on a fishing trip. Tanya grieves her mother’s loss and feels special because he shows interest in her. Over time, she gets more attached to him.

While Tanya initially wants to help Belinda open a wellness center, Greg pulls her away from her plans and says he has a terminal illness. Tanya offers to pay for his treatment, unaware that he might be lying.

In the second season, Greg is married to Tanya, but he seems annoyed with her. He does not like that she brought her assistant, Portia, on their trip to Sicily and makes her keep Portia out of sight.

He then suddenly leaves for a work trip to Denver, making Tanya feel abandoned. She later realizes that Greg has teamed up with Quentin to kill her for her money. He has lied about many things, including his past and even his love for her.

Tanya figures it out in time to fight back, but she does not make it out alive. Greg, who is nowhere to be found, likely benefits from her death. In the end, it seems like he was only with her for her wealth.

Will Belinda recognize Greg in The White Lotus Season 3?

Greg might have to face his past again as both he and Belinda have arrived at the same resort in The White Lotus season 3. Both of them have been closely associated with Tanya in different ways, and Greg is the actual reason why Belinda could not establish her wellness center.

The spa manager has seen Greg in Maui, but it remains to be seen if she will be able to recognize him after all these years. If she does, she will surely ask about her friend Tanya’s whereabouts, as she does not the lady is dead already.

Hence, Greg's appearance in the new installment not only ties all the seasons of The White Lotus together but also makes up for an interesting storyline in the new chapter.
