There is little doubt that viewers continue to question Lottie Matthews' actions in Yellowjackets. However, Courtney Eaton defends her character by saying that she "does everything from the best place."
Courtney Eaton has played the young Lottie in the first and second seasons of Yellowjackets so she understands where the character is coming from. Unfortunately, the character is often misunderstood since her actions and decisions often lead to violence.
Still, Courtney Eaton quickly points out that Lottie doesn't want violence.
“This is while I’ll fight to the end of day when everyone was like, ‘She's evil. She's got bad intentions.’ I'm like, Lottie does everything from the best place,” Eaton told Collider.
“She's trying to give her heart to everyone. It might not come across in the right way sometimes, but she's always well-intentioned, I think,” she continued.
Courtney Eaton also discussed what Lottie meant with her final line in the first season: “Shed the blood, my beautiful friends, and let the darkness set us free.”
“For Season 1, it was coming from a place where I think they're in complete chaos and — god,” she said with a laugh.
“I think now that version of that line is a lot darker, for all of them, but maybe it's directed at people around her less so than her being involved. I think the first time she said that line it included her,” Eaton continued.
“Maybe the second time, in the second half of it, she doesn't count herself as part of that anymore,” she added.
We're certainly expecting to learn even more about Lottie after what happened in the second season finale. With that in mind, we're all looking forward to Yellowjackets Season 3.
Yellowjackets has already been confirmed for a third season. However, Season 3 has not yet been given an official release date. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
