Patrick Schwarzenegger continues to creep out fans with his Saxon Ratliff character on HBO’s The White Lotus.
The 31-year-old actor and son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver grossed out fans in the Season 3 premiere when he called his sister Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook) ‘hot’ along with strange interactions with other females at the resort.
Things got even stranger when his younger brother Lochlan (Sam Nivola) was seen longingly staring at Saxon’s nude body when he went to masturbate in the bathroom.
If fans were hoping his creep-factor would drop in the second episode, that didn’t happen at all.
One of the scenes in Sunday’s second episode, Saxon got a massage at the resort and was visibly aroused, while Lochlan was also seen staring at his brother’s bare behind while he slept.
Fans did not hesitate to take to social media to express their disgust for Saxon and this bizarre incestuous storyline on the series.

The Ratliff family exploits continued in the second episode, and things got weird again when the subject of Piper’s sex life was brought up.
For some reason, Lochlan decided to tell Piper what Saxon said about her, that he didn’t think she’s had sex yet, which surprised him because he thinks she’s ‘hot.’
Naturally, this upsets Piper, who tells Saxon to stay out of her personal life, though he just laughs it off.
Characters that even have passive interactions with Saxon don’t like him, such as Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood).
Saxon walks by Chelsea and Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon) laying out at the pool, when Chelsea called him a ‘douche’ who is ‘from a family of wankers.’
Chelsea and her boyfriend Rick (Walton Goggins) were on the boat over to the resort with them, and the Ratliff family were upset at Rick for smoking cigarettes.
Fans did not hold back, expressing their disgust for Saxon and the strange incest storyline on social media.
Fans were also grossed out by a scene showing Saxon getting a massage at the resort

Some like @arsonistdoll want to see Saxon hurt, with the user tweeting, ‘Saxon needs to get shot before the end of the season #TheWhiteLotus.’
Picking up where the show left off last week, the episode begins with childhood friends Jaclyn ( Michelle Monaghan ) and Kate (Leslie Bibb) leaning straight back into toxic femininity as they begin discussing Laurie (Carrie Coon) after she excused herself to go to bed.
While initially remarking how great it is to be in her company, talk soon turns to her ‘loser’ ex-husband who they claim have been ‘freeloading off her for years’.
With talk turning judgmental, they reveal Laurie’s daughter has been expelled twice for violence, reasoning that children shouldn’t be raised in New York.
As the Ratcliffs gather at breakfast, matriarch Victoria (Parker Posey) is caught in an awkward exchange with Kate, who steps over and reveals that they’ve met before at a mutual friend’s baby shower.
Across the restaurant, Rick (Walton Goggins) is left furious to learn his younger girlfriend Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) has booked him in for a stress management session.
Reluctantly attending his session, Rick ends up opening up about his traumatic childhood, revealing his mother was a drug addict who overdosed when he was 10 while his father was murdered before he was born.

As the guests head off to their various spa treatments and sessions, Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) is seen exchanging spa techniques with resort worker Pornchai (Dom Hetrakul) and is seen lusting over his body as she demonstrates a massage on him.
Meanwhile, the budding romance between hotel security guard Gaitok (Tayme Thapthimthong) and health guru Mook (Blackpink’s Lisa) continues to build, as Gaitok expresses his feelings for her.
Back on the beach, Chelsea is catching up with new friend Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon) as they debrief on their night out.
Chloe admits that Gary (Jon Gries) was a ‘d***’ to her and has apologised by giving her his credit card, suggesting she and Chelsea head to the shops.
Siblings Lochlan and Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook) are catching up when Lochlan informs her to Saxon’s weird remarks the night before that he believes Piper is a virgin.
Looking shocked, Piper asks: ‘How would he know that? He doesn’t know what I do’, before asking why the subject even came up.
As Lochlan pleads with her not to bring it up to Saxon, an outraged Piper remarks: ‘He shouldn’t be talking about me like that – he should mind his own business.’
In the hotel shop, Chelsea and Chloe are browsing when an armed robber bursts in and steals the jewellery while waving his gun around.

On the other side of the restaurant, Chelsea and Chloe bring their partners Rick and Gary along for a double date.
As talk turns to their careers, the guys look shifty, claiming they do ‘this and that’ while not disclosing their jobs.
