Actress Francesca Corney was originally cast in the role of Chloe in The White Lotus season 3. But after filming for a few weeks in Thailand, she was replaced by the French-Canadian actress Charlotte Le Bon, as reported by Deadline on March 15, 2024. The decision was taken as the makers wanted an older actress like Charlotte, who is almost seven years older than Francesca, to play the risque character.

Chloe, a former model from Quebec, appears in the first episode of The White Lotus season 3. After meeting Chelsea at the hotel's bar, the two women bond over the fact that they both are dating significantly older American men, whom she refers to as Losers Back Home (LBH).

Gary, known to the world as her boyfriend, is actually Greg Hunt, the widower of heiress Tanya McQuoid. As revealed in The White Lotus season 2, he orchestrated Tanya's death and fled to Thailand to create his new identity as Gary and build a new life with her wealth.

In episode 4 of The White Lotus season 3, Chloe invites Chelsea, Rick, and the Ratliffs to Greg's yacht party in celebration of the full moon. In Gary's absence, she hooks up with both Saxon and Lochlan under the influence of drugs.

When Gary suspects she slept with one of the Ratliff boys, he invites them to his dinner party. Saxon reluctantly accepts, fearing an angry confrontation with Chloe's boyfriend.

However, he is surprised when Chloe shares that it is Gary's se*ual fantasy to watch both of them have s*x. Shocked and disgusted by the request, Saxon refuses to play along.
