It just keeps gaining traction.

Last month, a tweet suggesting Pamela Anderson should play Jennifer Coolidge's sister in The White Lotus went viral.

The idea posted by Tara Watson said:

"The only thing that will heal our broken culture is if Pamela Anderson is cast in the next season of 'The White Lotus' as Jennifer Coolidge's grieving sister.

Of course, it's very possible that Coolidge's character Tanya will not return for season 3 as—to viewers' shock and dismay—she fell to her death trying to flee for her own safety in the season 2 finale.

After Sunday night's SAG awards, Coolidge was asked by Entertainment Tonighther thoughts on the possibility of Anderson playing her grieving sibling.

Coolidge gushed:

"Oh wow!"
"I just recently saw Pam's documentary and I called 100 people to watch it."
"And I swear to God, we all had the same reaction: It's amazing."
"You finally get the real story and she's got this huge comeback."

Viewers of the interview thought Anderson would be a great addition to the already stellar cast.

... which is interesting as Coolidge's co-star and on-screen husband Jon Gries expressed that he, too, thinks Coolidge should play her own sister.

But Coolidge didn't seem to think that scenario is in the cards.

"I don't think Mike [White]'s going to allow that."

As for Anderson, she recently shared on The Drew Barrymore Show that she is aware of the campaign to get her on The White Lotus.

"I heard about it."
"I can't get it in Canada because my HBO app doesn't work because my Apple ID is American, so I can't get it there so I tried to watch it."
"I want to watch it but I heard everyone loves it and it's crazy."

She finished:

"I'm up for anything!"

You heard her!

To hold you over until season 3, you can watch the first two seasons of The White Lotus on HBO Max now.
