Yellowjackets Interview: Courtney Eaton's Take on Pit Girl, Present Day Lottie's Fate and More

Courtney Eaton’s Lottie Matthews continues to be one of the most enigmatic characters in the Yellowjackets ensemble, making her one of the most exciting to track. And while it’s nearly impossible to explain away all of Lottie’s choices and actions, especially in Season 3, the character is still shockingly grounded courtesy of the fact that Eaton understands her and has successfully established an anchor for the character via her own intuition and instincts as an actor.

As Eaton noted during her first Collider Ladies Night appearance for Yellowjackets Season 2, “Lottie does everything from the best place. 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.” Does that thinking still apply when it comes to axe murder, ruining the group’s chance of recuse, pushing Travis to the brink and then some in Season 3? Eaton does, indeed, hold tight to that mentality. “[Lottie] knows that the best version of herself is once she’s connected [to the wilderness] and that can help the group.”

During her second go-around on Collider Ladies Night, Eaton digs into how that thinking influenced Lottie’s choices this season, offers her thoughts on Lottie possibly being the one who burned down the cabin, confirms how far Lottie walked over the pit during that scene with Travis, reveals if Lottie was really trying to help Mari during the hunt, and so much more!
