Richardson’s character probably regretted being made to go as she left without a job. This was because her boss died after successfully fighting off a load of murderous homosexuals, heavily implied to be in cahoots with her husband Greg (Jon Gries).
While she got to have a holiday romance with the handsome Jack (Leo Woodall), it is unclear if he was having an affair with his uncle or being paid to woo her.
What has Jennifer Coolidge said about not being on this season?
Coolidge has expressed how much FOMO she has not getting to play Tanya anymore.

“I’ve really missed myself,” Coolidge said while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
“I thought I’d be cool with it, but, yeah, I’m jealous. But Mike White is a genius and it’s going really well.”
“I thought there was a little window for me to come back because people saw me floating in the water and stuff, and I did look very dead and everything,” she continued.
