"The White Lotus" Season 3 Finale 'Devastates' Fans As We Finally Find Out Who Died
Warning: This article contains major spoilers for the final episode of The White Lotus season three.
The White Lotus fans are in mourning following the events of the season three finale.
On Sunday night, the last instalment aired in the US, and it's now available to stream in the UK on both Sky and Now.
Before we get into it, we are about to disclose the massive revelation from the finale, so if you've not watched it yet, don't say we didn't warn you.
Alright? Here goes…
So, as you can imagine fans are absolutely bereft at the news that it was Aimee Lou Wood 's character Chelsea who was killed off in the final episode, after becoming embroiled in a shooting thanks to her boyfriend Rick, played by Walton Goggins.
HBO
When he discovered that Chelsea had been wounded in the shooting, Rick then tried to save her, only to himself be shot in the back by Tayme Thapthimthong's hotel guard character, Gaitok.
And let's just say, fans are feeling pretty gutted – not to mention upset with White Lotus writer Mike White – about the way things panned out…
Okay yeah this might be the most devastating death in white lotus history

Mike White did previously predict that not everyone would be happy with the outcome of the episode, telling The Hollywood Reporter: 'My hope is that it'll feel like a cathartic sad or a satisfying sad and not a 'What the fuck?' sad, but people are going to have a million different opinions. You just hope you stick the landing.'
Cast member Jon Gries also teased that 'whatever you think you know, you're going to get it wrong', while Charlotte Le Bon said simply: 'People are going to hate Mike White.'
The episode also saw Lochlan Ratliff (portrayed by Sam Nivola) coming close to death after inadvertently consuming the poisonous seeds his father had left out from the previous night – only to come back to life in the episode's final moments.

Aimee Lou Wood & Adam Long Spark Dating Rumors Following PDA in London
Aimee Lou Wood, best known for her acting exploits, is making headlines once again, as photographs of her cozy outing with Adam Long surfaced online. They were spotted engaging in public displays of affection (PDA), sparking a wave of dating speculation among fans. Fans of The White Lotus star were quick to notice the chemistry between Aimee Lou Wood and Adam Long when the two were recently photographed enjoying a PDA-filled day in London. On Saturday, June 7, the 31-year-old actress and her 34-year-old Happy Valley co-star were seen kissing and embracing during a casual coffee date. The couple kept their attire laid-back. Long sported drawstring shorts and Levi's T-shirt, while Wood wore a trendy all-denim outfit paired with bold red flats. Their rumored romance began gaining traction while filming their upcoming BBC project Film Club, which Wood co-created. In the series, Wood plays Evie, who launches a film club with her best friend Noa. This new buzz around Aimee Lou Wood's personal life comes just after she and The White Lotus Season 3 co-star Walton Goggins denied speculation of an off-screen feud. In a recent interview with Variety, Goggins said, 'There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me… But she's special. She is love, and I know that I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply.' Wood echoed the sentiment, adding that she had grown tired of addressing baseless internet gossip. 'Eventually, I just started to sit back and watch these people making something out of absolutely nothing,' she stated. As of now, neither Aimee Lou Wood nor Adam Long has commented publicly on the rumored romance.

Sky Sports News' golden age at an end as rival platforms turn up the volume
A constant in pubs, gyms and hotel breakfast rooms, almost always with the sound down. Perhaps not since cinema's silent age have faces been so familiar without the general public knowing their voices. The vibe is more casual than in previous times, shirt sleeves rather than business suits, but the formula remains the same: a carousel of news, clips, quotes, quips, centred around highlights, all framed within a constant flow of results, fixtures and league tables. Sky Sports News hits 27 years of broadcasting in August, having been launched for the 1998-99 football season by BSkyB. As the domestic football season concluded, news came of changes within the Osterley-based newsroom. Seven members of the broadcast talent team would be leaving, including the long-serving Rob Wotton and the senior football reporter Melissa Reddy, within a process of voluntary redundancies. Advertisement Sky sources – not those Sky sources – are keen to state the changes are not a cost-cutting exercise, instead a redress of SSN's place within a changing media environment. Ronan Kemp, the One Show presenter and Celebrity Goggleboxer, is understood to be in discussions to join Sky and despite Wotton's departure, Ref Watch will still be serving those who get their kicks from re-refereeing matches and VAR calls. Rolling news, which became common currency around the time of the initial Gulf war with Iraq is no longer the go-to information environment. Sky News, SSN's sister organisation, is going through similar changes, including the loss of the veteran anchor Kay Burley. The smartphone, where news alerts supplant even social media, takes the strain of keeping the world informed of Micky van de Ven's latest hamstring injury. Desperate to hear even more from Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville? There are podcasts and YouTube channels available at a swipe. In the US, ESPN's SportsCenter and its accompanying ESPNews channel were the progenitors of a medium copied globally and by Sky in launching SSN. SportsCenter is a flagship in marked decline from a golden 1990s era that made American household names of presenters such as Stuart Scott, Keith Olbermann and Dan Patrick. ESPN, an organisation in the process of taking itself to digital platforms as cable TV gets mothballed, closed SportsCenter's Los Angeles studio in March. Linear TV's death will be slow, but it is dying nonetheless as streaming, all bundles and consumer choice, takes hold. Meanwhile, YouTube channels, with production values way below industry standard, amass huge audiences for fan-owned, independent media. Advertisement The time of viewers tuning in for 10pm highlights voiced over by presenters' catchphrases – Scott's 'boo yah!' being the prime example – has long passed. Social media and YouTube have killed the demand. Though live sports remain the foundation of broadcasting contracts, highlights and analysis can be watched at the time of the viewers' choice. Digital is where the eyeballs go, and what the advertising dollar is attracted to, despite the ubiquity of Go Compare et al. Viewing figures remain healthy but the game is now about far more than ratings. SSN's imperial period was the early millennium days of Dave Clark and Kirsty Gallacher's toothsome double act, to a time when the yellow ticker of breaking news held great sway, though not always delivering on its promise of earthquake journalism (news of Nicky Shorey's Reading contract extension, anyone?). Millie Clode, Di Stewart, Charlotte Jackson, Kelly Cates: a nation turned its lonely eyes to them. Then there was transfer deadline day, more important than the football itself. Long, frantic hours spent hearing Jim White's Glaswegian whine declare anything could happen on this day of days. In the early years it often did, from Peter Odemwingie's mercy dash to Loftus Road to the brandishing of a sex toy in the earhole of reporter Alan Irwin outside Everton's training ground. Another reporter, Andy 'four phones' Burton, labelled the night the 2008 window closed: 'The best day of my life, apart from when my son was born.' Eventually, though, it became too knowing. Not even White's yellow tie, as garish as his hype, accompanied by Natalie Sawyer's yellow dress, could stop the event from becoming desperate hours chasing diminishing returns. Live television is a challenging environment, especially with nothing to feed off. Advertisement Though many presenters have been lampooned – abused in the more carrion social media age – the difficulty of 'going live' with an earpiece full of instructions and timings should never be underestimated. How does Mike Wedderburn, the channel's first presenter, make it look so easy? When, in a broadcasting-carriage dispute between Virgin and Sky, Setanta Sports News was given brief life in 2007 – 22 months as the Dagmar to Sky's Queen Vic – it was made apparent how hard, and costly, the business can be. Over-exposure to SSN – as happens when someone works in a newspaper sports department, say – can lead to contempt. The joins can be seen, too. Haven't they done that same gag for the past six hours and each time pretended it was an ad lib? Just what is Gary Cotterill up to this time? Why did Bryan Swanson always use such portentous tones? From morning till night, it would be ever-present. On weekend evenings, when you caught the skilled veteran duo of Julian Waters and the late David Bobin running through the day's events, you knew it was time to leave the office, down that late drink, question your life choices, the pair's clipped tones taking on the effect of a lonely late-night cab ride. SSN is forced to move with the times. As is the case across the industry, journalists have often been supplanted by influencers, as the mythical, perhaps unreachable, 'younger audience' is chased. That is not to say the channel is short of decent reporting. In the aftermath of the 2022 Champions League final in Paris, chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol produced a superb account of the ensuing chaos and danger while others floundered for detail. Advertisement SSN, like SportsCenter across the Atlantic, is now more a production factory for content being sent across the internet, published to multiple platforms, than it is a rolling news channel. Within press statements around the redundancies there was the word 'agile', a term repurposed – and overused – in the business world, but meaning doing more with less. Next season, as heavily trailed on SSN right now, Sky will have 215 Premier League live matches to show, including every game played on Sundays. That requires the company's shift in focus, for Sky Sports News in particular. Though look up wherever you are and it will still be on in the corner, almost certainly with the sound down.
