While Season 1 of “The White Lotus” looks at power and wealth, Season 2 hones in on the dynamics surrounding sex and love. Lucia uses her beauty like a tool, a theme that’s examined closely throughout the season. When she turns her formidable charms on Albie, it’s pretty much game over for him. Even though Lucia clearly manipulated him, there were a few tender moments between the pair, making it difficult to tell exactly how much of their relationship was a fabrication. Looking back at the chaotic season in an interview with Variety, Simona Tabasco explained why she thinks Lucia’s feelings for Albie were authentic on some level.
“When I read the script, I thought she was in love with Albie because I think what happened was she was not exactly sure she would be bumping into someone as pure as him,” the actor told the outlet. “She sees an opportunity, she sees an occasion and she goes for it. She makes the decision. So, I do think she is a little bit in love with him but in the end the dream prevails, the objective prevails, the goal is what matters.”
