Patrick Schwarzenegger’s Deleted ‘Dying’ Scene from The White Lotus Finale Messed with His Fiancée

by

Spoilers ahead for The White Lotus Season 3’s finale.

Even though the third season of The White Lotus concluded more than a week ago, individuals who have Max subscriptions are still grappling with the events that unfolded. The final episode unveiled the mystery of who met their demise during the shooting hinted at in the opening, leaving fans feeling quite disheartened. One topic that has been trending is the Ratliff brothers’ incest, portrayed by actors Sam Nivola and Patrick Schwarzenegger. In a recent interview, Schwarzenegger divulged details about his original death scene, which was eventually cut, and he shared how it had an unexpected impact on his fiancée when she watched it.

As some viewers are still catching up on watching “The White Lotus Season 3”, devoted fans have already delved deep into analyzing every frame from the finale. Arnold Schwarzenegger delivered an impactful performance in his last appearance as Saxon, but in a popular TikTok post, he revealed a scene that didn’t end up in the episode. He stated:

In the last episode, I found myself in a chilling scene where I appeared to be dead – sprawled out on a lounge chair at the villa, vomit-stained from head to toe. Upon Lachlan’s arrival home, he stumbled upon this grisly sight, prompting him to reach for the blender. However, it turned out to be a dream sequence that didn’t make it to the final cut of the show. As a dedicated cinephile, I was left wondering what could have been if that harrowing scene had made it onto the screen.

It appears I’m afflicted with FOMO. The enigma surrounding the Ratliff family and the blender captivated us throughout the series, leaving viewers on edge, guessing who might meet an untimely end due to the perilous Suicide Tree’s poisonous produce. It seems Mike White nearly prolonged this suspense with a deceptive death for Saxon.

In the final analysis, it was Lachlan who ingested the toxic substance (which his father Tim subsequently discovered), fortunately without sustaining fatal injuries. Remarkably, the entire Ratliff family made it through their journey to Thailand, despite Patrick Schwarzenegger’s fiancée Abby Champion’s initial misconceptions about the outcome. As he explained:

This version maintains the original meaning while using more formal and descriptive language to provide a clearer picture of the events that transpired.

As a movie aficionado, I found myself in an unusual predicament while working on the set of this latest production. My significant other, who had been privy to my filming schedule, was left utterly speechless when she discovered that my character met an untimely end on screen. Upon returning home, her reaction was priceless: “I can’t believe it’s you that dies!”

Throughout the season, she had been piecing together theories about the show’s climax, convinced she knew how it would all unfold. Little did she know, the scene in question had been trimmed from the final edit entirely. Needless to say, she was left scratching her head and eagerly awaiting the next season to uncover the truth behind my character’s mysterious fate.

It’s quite amusing, really. It’s amazing how Schwarzenegger managed to sustain this joke for such a long time, given that Champion seemed convinced she knew the outcome of The White Lotus Season 3 even before it was fully produced.

Ultimately, Saxon didn’t meet his demise; instead, it was Rick (portrayed by Walton Goggins) and Chelsea (played by Aimee Lou Wood) who suffered that sad fate. This heartrending conclusion was particularly distressing given the immense affection the fanbase held for their romantic narrative. Concerning the Ratliffs, they bid farewell to Thailand and stepped into a fresh world, one devoid of their fortune.

Currently, you can watch the whole series of “The White Lotus” on Max. Regrettably, it won’t be included in the upcoming 2025 television debut schedule as new episodes are not planned to air then.
