[@Stubrok]

She was the stand out performance for me. She might be the talkative outgoing character but her eyes told the real story.

[@slashedbeauty]

yes!! she did so much acting in between her lines.

[@thiagosardenberg353]

THANK YOU! Very that

[@adanperez648]

Haha no, Coolidge carried the show

[@remoballesteros448]

YES! This scene alone proves how rich of a character she made Daphne to be

[@kriskay6]

Agree!!

[@antibullshit]

Meghann was the highlight of S2 for me. Daphne was very superficial at first, but then so many layers about her were revealed as the season progressed. And Meghann did a phenomenal job

[@HH-gv8mx]

I thought she was a great actress for White Lotus, But I was not a fan of her character. Like I would not wanna be friends with her I would prefer to be friends with Harper. Daphne plays to many fuck fuck games. Harper is more direct and trustworthy.

[@antibullshit]

@@HH-gv8mx Yeah but at the end, Harper took Daphne's advice and acted just like her with Ethan (not saying he didn't deserve it). I loved watching both women, but honestly I wouldn't wanna be friends with either lol

[@HH-gv8mx]

@@antibullshit After watching Aubrey Plaza’s interview on Late Night w Seth Meyers, I don’t think that Harper screwed Cameron. I do think that Daphne seduced and fucked Ethan. Harper was really patient with Ethan. He was not affectionate at all towards her and even when she tried to initiate intimacy with him, he denied her. It’s not easy to be in a relationship with a man that’s more into porn.

[@dannycordraye8110]

Layered and deep or just an enabler of a douchebag

[@adanperez648]

She was average

[@Sdority905]

She's amazing in The Bold Type as well. I'm a big fan of her and can't wait to see what she does.

[@agataguzy6641]

me too! I love that she is getting recognised more and more ❤ I loved her in the Bold Type as welll

[@charlieb2b]

That scene was amazing, you can see how she went through a lot of emotions right there.

[@JayBuff19]

Yep, she processed so much and I felt it, and then made her decision. It’s all good. Great pacing and editing as well!

[@vikram1477]

That was her finest scene! Superb emoting!

[@hummersd]

She's friggin' awesome in White Lotus! And who knew she was on Broadway understudying in Next to Normal! She's got the most promising trajectory after White Lotus to get films or more TV shows. What a great actress.

[@samara.ariel.jpg_]

YUP🥹🥹🥹 cmon bway bby!! watched her natalie in yt vids for years. i played diana in my production

[@loriskillman2580]

She was on one life to live years ago. A few very early episodes of Chicago fire, one law and order SVU. Some TV movies. 🙂

[@arangxba]

There is something so beautiful about her personality off and on screen.

[@cwg73160]

Her personality on-screen isn’t hers. She’s an actor.

[@looney1023]

I thought her character was going to be one note, or variations of that one note, but then seemingly every episode there was just more and more to her, while her exterior never changed. She says one thing but means something completely different. It's just extraordinary. In a show full of standout performances, hers might be my favorite!

[@jaynefindlay3158]

Agreed. Such a wide range of acting and such a great character. My favourite part was when she showed the pic of her blonde trainer and then her blonde child. It's like she is in total control of everything and makes everything to her own advantage, but with strength, not manipulation.

[@mahery3000]

She’s beautiful, talented and so underrated…her performances on The Bold Type was exceptional and now TWL she’s grown through her career experiences ❤

[@hoeforaubrey]

meghann fahy is like a ray of sunshine, she's sweet and smiley god i love her

[@m.a.r.i.7063]

Big fan since The Bold Type which is one of my favorite shows ever. So happy for her success.

[@mattchuu402]

That scene they showed really displayed her acting chops. Her disassociation and naive way of thinking was acted brilliantly.

[@isittrueisitnot3303]

its actually deeper than that, that scene was showing a range of emotions, starting from the fact how she got disappointed, not by cameron but harper, cause she started seeing her as a friend, then processing it by looking at Ethan for affirmartion and in the distance, and in the end coming in terms with it, forcing the delusions and coping with the only way she knows how to - lying to herself and doing things to get revenge, that’s why she heads to the island and calls ethan to complete her plan

[@malb93]

The range of motion she portrayed on that scene alone was amazing.

[@hadassahbass1371]

I just love her, I’ve known she was a natural since “the bold type” but so so happy for her getting a big role like this that allows everyone to see how excellent she is! She’s going to be a knockout in Hollywood, whatever she does.

[@sidinthe6ix]

fell in love with her on the Bold type, she's even better in white lotus! so glad she's starting to get the recognition she deserves :)

[@pujathakur689]

Have been loving her work since the bold type, she's such a star.

[@authorquinnavery]

She did an amazing job this season…slight second best to Jennifer’s performance!

[@NotInformedOfficial]

that was actually her best scene. I truly believed her pain. Felt so real living a lie everyday just to stay happy together

[@amandakkaiser]

love her energy ❤ she's so magnetic

[@kentsilverfour]

I LOOOOOOVE HER! Glad she had han opportunity to showcase her acting skills in a major series.

[@bootney66]

When she told Ethan “walk with me”, I almost got off of my couch and started to walk 😍 😊

[@HobbyAsylum]

That scene was so powerful. Her eyes said everything.

[@alessiobracco4357]

i feel like she’d be a great Sue Storm for the upcoming Fantastic 4 film. she’s an amazing and intelligent actress.

[@ThatsSoDan]

She was my favorite character. I think she deserved an Emmy nomination

[@SabrinaJohns]

The minute she came on the screen in White Lotus I was like “who’s that????” not just because of her outward beauty but because of how magnetic she is!! A superstar for sure 😍❤️

[@denarendall]

Cannot wait to see more of Meghann. She’s phenomenal!

[@miyoungpark6340]

It's a gift to have a charming personality that can connect with everyone

[@melrox8809]

I loved her on "the bold type"

[@jamesmaxson2306]

Yessss they showed her best scene. Chills

[@teamvigod]

It's not often I cannot wait until the next week to see the new episode but White Lotus did that for me. Meghann was excellent as was the entire cast. Mike White is a ledgend. Well deserved Golden Globe and likely more awards headed their way. Amazing season. This one will be hard to top.

[@karmaklutz]

She is a breath of fresh air, absolutely love her

[@Garcelle1987]

Ms Fahey, Hollywood’s new romcom queen!! Sure, it hasn’t happened yet but it should! She’s gorgeous, charming and has brilliant comic timing (Bold type fans know what’s up)

[@jaynefindlay3158]

OMG I LOVED the 2nd season! Fabulous cast and the scene showed here shows what a good actress Meghann is - thinking about what he said, showing some hurt, then moving on, and brushing it off...don't want to spoil what happens next. Please watch it if you haven't.

[@daniromero5135]

She was one of my favroites the whole season❤❤❤❤

[@yooji9655]

I love jimmy Fallon sm. He celebrated her at the beginning and highlighted one of her best scenes in the show

[@julietvanhaudt2383]

That scene is probably the best scene i’ve ever seen in the 21 years of my life.

[@laragenter]

No New Yorker ever fails to mention they're a New Yorker. Anyway love Meghan xx

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

In case anyone's curious, they keep mentioning Mike White. I finally had to look it up: "Is he the same one who wrote School of Rock?" Sure enough. Amazing hilarious movie

[@jch010]

They absolutly nail every single casting in both seasons. It would be great to see either her or Aubrey in the next season

She was so lovely this season OH MY GOD

Her character had the most realistic viewpoint on her marriage to a total sexy douchebag. She was in it to win it and she came to peace with herself, her role as wife and mother, her love for this guy. She is the most up front healthy happy character, loved it! Watching it a second time now that I know what happens to Tanya.

@@loganmurphy9453can u explain

[@hermunkulus]

@@francescaromano6338 *spoilers* At the end Ethan tells Daphne (Meghann's character) that Harper was most likely cheating on him with Cameron. It's possible she could have been also telling him about how Ethan and Daphne also may have "returned the favor" by having sex off-screen. You'd have to watch the show in order to get it.

Does Jimmy ever pay attention to what the guests are saying? He seems more invested in keeping the interview going forward. C'mon, she's making jokes and they seem to go over your head. I clicked because I loved her in White Lotus and have enjoyed her other interviews so far but Fallon doesn't help. I liked him a lot in SNL, I thought he was funny and like a nice guy but I've never enjoyed him in the Tonight Show, he seems disingenuous, phony, trying too much. I bet he would still do a great job being his genuine self.

Same ol'. same ol'. Some snowflake talking about their boring movie. For some non-stop laughter and entertainment, switch over to the number ONE rated late night show these day, Gutfeld ! Greg has created a new format that is not inhibited in content by the network brass. Nothing is off limits. And he plays personalities and comics against each other like "The Rat Pack" did decades ago. The "big three" comedy days are about over and I think they know it. It is reported that even CNN is going to create their own version of Gutfeld.
