Getty Images A few weeks back, after filming had already begun on The White Lotus season four, word spread that Helena Bonham Carter had exited the show. An HBO spokesperson said that the character created by Mike White for Helena "did not align once on set," and the role is now being "rethought" and "rewritten." "HBO, the producers and Mike White are saddened that they won't get to work with her, but remain ardent fans and very much hope to work with the legendary actress on another project soon," said the spokesperson.
