WARNING: SPOILERS ahead for The White Lotus season 3, episode 4.
No characters have died yet at the midpoint ofThe White Lotusseason 3 but that is certainly about to change in the latter half of the hit HBO series. There is at least one confirmed death inThe White Lotusseason 3 based on the opening teaser scene in episode 1 but there could be more on the table. While some characters are more dangerous than others, no one can be counted out as winding up dead – either intentionally or accidentally – by the end of season 3.
I would hate to see some of thesweetest characters inThe White Lotusseason 3go, such as Gaitok and Chelsea, but their deaths are certainly within the realm of possibility. Those closest toGreg, aka Gary, are certainly at the most risk, which could spell disaster for Belinda, her son Zion, and even Chloe. While some viewers may not be added to see one or more of the fivedysfunctional members of the Ratliff familygo, a show likeThe White Lotustypically lets the most irredeemable characters make it out alive.

There’s little to no chance that Pam winds up dead inThe White Lotusseason 3unless Timothy goes on a rampage, asking Pam for his phone backbut she won’t give it to him. While her role is relatively small thus far, she’s one of the sweetest characters of the new season and her death would be incredibly shocking.
21Amrita
Amrita is another great member of The White Lotus Thai resort staff who is unfortunately in harm’s way at the beginning of the season when the gunshots start firing. She was just getting to know Zion and begin mediation with him when things went haywire. Sinceshe represents peace and spiritual wisdom, it would be ironic if she died this season.
20Piper Ratliff
As the black sheep of her family (making her the most sane one), Piper has the best exit strategy out of her fellow Ratliff dynamic.She already wants to live in Thailand to find herselfand leave her family behind, which is something that many viewers would likely root for. Her death wouldn’t make much sense unless she was an accidental victim.
19Laurie Duffy
Laurie Duffy is arguably the most level-headed or at least relatable of the “victory tour” trio of her, Kate, and Jaclyn. She may get caught up in an unfortunate circumstance and end up being the one paying for it but that will likely be because of the actions of Kate or most likely Jaclyn. However,she appears to drink the most out of the three, which adds some risk.
18Fabian
Fabian is a loyal servant of White Lotus Thai Resort owner Sritala, which means he could choose to take a bullet for her if the situation were to arise. That being said, he’s mostly a background character without much impact outside of implementing a sense of authority and order on the staff, particularly with Gaitok.If he gets in the way of another robbery, for example, he could meet his fate.
17Kate Bohr
Kate lost some support from Laurie and Jaclyn for her conservative political beliefs and cultural lifestyle in Austin, TX. Due to this divide,Jaclyn and Laurie might side against herif things reach a life-threatening situation. Out of all the smack-talking behind-the-back gossip, Kate’s status as an “independent” feels like it caused the biggest cracks in their dynamic.
16Zion Lindsey
Zion was certainly in danger during the beginning ofThe White Lotusseason 3 and was the first to see the dead body floating in the water. He prays to make it out alive, which he probably will, but there’s no question that his life is on the line.One theory suggests that Greg will hire people to kidnap Zionand use it as leverage to keep Belinda quiet.
15Jaclyn Lemon
Jaclyn Lemon may be famous but that doesn’t exempt her from being in the line of fire.If word gets out that she’s a rich celebrity, some locals – perhaps the ones who robbed the jewelry store – may find that to be an opportunity for a big payday. In this case, Jaclyn’s ego may convince her to think that she can stop the robbers from stealing from her, which could lead to violence.
14Gaitok
Gaitok is genuinely kind and sweet, which makes me worried about his fate in season 3. Gaitok seems to have already been manipulated by Valentin, who may be connected to the robbery, and bravely fought a robber only to get injured.The robbers could have easily killed Gaitok, whose bravery was admirable but naive. If something like this happens again, or if Mook is in danger, Gaitok could catch a bullet.
13Chelsea
Chelsea, another likable character inThe White Lotusseason 3, could also be on the chopping block. Depending on how Rick’s situation in Bangkok goes, Chelsea could find herself in danger as a guest of The White Lotus Thai Resort. Rick is going after Sritala’s husband, who he believes killed his father. If Rick is unsuccessful and Sritala’s husband is that dangerous,Chelsea may pay for Rick’s failed attempt at revenge.
