Two survivors of the murder and mayhem that happen each season of “The White Lotus” gathered together on TODAY April 10, sharing a special gift for the “trauma” they endured on their respective seasons.
Patrick Schwarzenegger, who played Saxon Ratcliff on Season 3 of “The White Lotus,” was surprised in studio by Meghann Fahy, who played Daphne on Season 2 of HBO’s hit show.
“Listen, I make these T-shirts out of my house,” Fahy joked, hugging Schwarzenegger as she entered and sat down on the couch with Jenna Bush Hager and guest co-host Andrew Rannells.
In her hand were two bright pink T-shirts that, on the front, said “We survived ‘The White Lotus.'” The shirts bore photos of Fahy and Schwarzenegger’s characters.
“I sell these T-shirts, it’s no big deal,” Fahy joked. “I just felt you should have one. I’ve been holding it for so long.”
“Oh my God, I’m going to wear this,” Schwarzenegger said, holding the up the shirt and giving it a good look.
Schwarzenegger then turned the shirt around, revealing the back which — in classic tourist T-shirt style — said “…And all I got was this stupid T-shirt.”
The two stars laughed, with Fahy pointing out how scared they both look on the shirt. “I love how traumatized we both look on it,” she said.
Schwarzenegger thanked her for the T-shirt and Fahy clarified she doesn’t actually sell the shirts. Schwarzenegger joked that his was going straight to eBay with his gift — though that didn’t seem likely, as he carefully laid it over his dress shirt and tie, where it remained for the rest of the interview.
Off camera, he also put the shirt on and wore it around the studio for the remainder of his time on TODAY with Jenna & Friends.
Could we see more of Saxon and Daphne?
Jenna then brought up the possibility of both actors returning to the luxury, and fictional, hotel chain for another season.
“White Lotus” creator Mike White previously told The Hollywood Reporter he’d “love” to do an “all-star” style season.
“Who knows,” Schwarzenegger said, teasing the possibility. Earlier in the interview, Schwarzenegger also spoke of a potential return for Saxon: “Never say never, Saxon could come back. You never know.”
Fahy told Entertainment Weekly she would “love to” return to the show and she would do it “in a heartbeat.”
