Connie Britton wants White Lotus return
Connie Britton wants to return to 'The White Lotus' - but only if it is filmed in Aspen. The 58-year-old actress revealed she has been in talks with showrunner Mike White about reprising her season one role as tech boss Nicole Mossbacher for another instalment of the satirical anthology series, but admitted it isn't easy because of the needs of her 14-year-old son Eyob. She told Us Weekly magazine: 'I keep telling them, 'Listen, when you're ready to do 'White Lotus: Aspen', let's do it.' I can pull that off. 'I have talked for several years to Mike White about shooting another season of that show, which I would love to do. 'We shot that [first season] during COVID. So my son was able to go with me when we shot it. 'He would do COVID Zoom school starting at 5:00 a.m. from Hawaii. But that show now means you go spend six months in Thailand to shoot [a season].' Connie admitted taking that much time away from home is "not realistic" right now. She said: 'As much as I would love to do it. It's a whole thing. I've definitely had to say no to [other jobs before].' The actress adopted Eyob as a single parent while starring in 'Nashville' and she admitted it was a "traumatising" time because she had thought she could continue to keep working as she had done before without realising how much her baby would need her. She said: 'I just went off to Nashville and started shooting the show, and I had this baby and I didn't even really know how to be a mother yet. 'It was kind of traumatising because I had no support system in Nashville, and I was working, you know, sometimes 15, 16, 17 hours a day, and it was a lot of work. "I realised that that was one of the things that still sticks out to me is when you first become a parent, the learning curve of, 'Oh, I need to think about things differently now and I need to make choices differently now because now I am thinking for a whole other person who can't think for themselves.''

White Lotus alum Connie Britton reveals the strict condition she gave creator Mike White for her return
Connie Britton would like to reprise her role in White Lotus with one caveat. The Friday Night Lights alum, 58, appeared in season one of the HBO series, which was set in Hawaii, as Nicole Mossbacher. And she's ready to step back into her role if it is set in a specific city. 'I keep telling them, "Listen, when you're ready to do White Lotus: Aspen, let's do it,"' Britton quipped during an exclusive interview with Us Weekly. The Nashville star still gets asked about the show all the time. 'I have talked for several years to [creator] Mike White about shooting another season of that show, which I would love to do,' she told the outlet while promoting her Hallmark reality series The Motherhood. She explained that it is not easy for her to pack up and spend six months in Thailand, or whatever exotic locale the show is shooting in. 'We shot that show during COVID. So my son was able to go with me when we shot it,' the actress explained. Connie adopted son Eyob (nicknamed Yoby), now 14, in 2011, 'He would do COVID Zoom school starting at 5:00 a.m. from Hawaii. But that show now means you go spend six months in Thailand to shoot [a season].' Taking that much time away from home is 'not realistic' for Britton right now. 'As much as I would love to do it, it's a whole thing. I've definitely had to say no to [other jobs before].' Britton has raised Yoby on her own, and she used the experience of being thrown into motherhood without any instructions in her new unscripted Hallmark series The Motherhood. The show follows Britton as she connects with single moms who are juggling the demands of work, parenting and self-care. 'When I became a single mom, it was kind of a big awakening for me where I realized, like, "Whoa, this is no joke,"' she said. And she's ready to step back into her role if it is set in a specific city. Seen here in 2021 'Obviously being a parent period is a big, big transition and a big change in life, but doing it by yourself is kind of a whole other thing,' Britton told Us. 'And so I learned in that process how important having a community is and a support system. 'I started thinking, "Gosh, I'm one of the lucky ones. I am able to have help when I need it." 'And so many single moms and single parents in the world don't have the privilege of that."' Britton set her mind to 'really change the cultural persepective' on single parenthood. 'I'm hopeful that this show is going to kind of help contribute to reshaping how we think about single parents and maybe look out for each other a little bit more in our communities and say, 'Oh, I would love to lend a hand to this person,"' she added. 'As they say, it takes a village,' she said. The Motherhood premieres Monday, May 5, on the Hallmark Channel and streams next day on Hallmark+. Friday Night Lights is getting a reboot with new characters, leaving behind the cast of the 2006 series starring Britton, Kyle Chandler and Minka Kelly. Now a reboot is reportedly percolating at Universal Television with a new storyline - and is allegedly generating fierce competition over the streaming rights.
