“The White Lotus” season finale was full of jaw-dropping twists … but one of the biggest got scrapped.

Mike White, the writer/creator of HBO’s hit series, revealed on “The White Lotus Official Podcast” that Piper Ratliff and Zion Lindsey were originally supposed to have a surprising sex scene in the last episode.

The two characters, played by Sarah Catherine Hook and Nicholas Duvernay, never encountered one another during the show … but according to White, Piper was supposed to lose her virginity to Zion.

Ultimately, White cut the scene from the script because it would’ve added 10 more minutes to the episode, and the “rom-com vibe” didn’t fit in the middle of Piper’s father, Tom Ratliff, plotting to kill his family.

American actress Marisa Coughlan was in her late 20s when she played Julie — the judgmental sorority leader trying to have a perfect image — in the rom-com film “Pumpkin” back in 2002.

Joining Marisa in the film included Hank Harris as the disabled young man who instantly falls in love with Carolyn, Pumpkin, Christina Ricci as Julie’s caring and sensitive sorority sister striving for her sorority to be Sorority of the Year, Carolyn and Samuel Ball as Carolyn’s good looking boyfriend, Kent.

Coughlan’s other notable movies include “Teaching Mrs. Tingle,” “Super Troopers” and “Freddy Got Fingered.”

Henry Cejudo is convinced his actions at a hit-and-run incident last week helped save the suspect’s life.

The wild scene, of course, all unfolded on Friday night in the UFC star’s Phoenix neighborhood … when he says he saw a group of young adults in a vehicle careening down his block at around 80 MPH.

Cejudo told TMZ Sports on Monday the car went airborne after it hit one of his neighbor’s sprinkler systems … and then it crashed through one of his other neighbor’s houses.

Cejudo said he grabbed the guy, threw him to the ground, put his hands behind his back and “slapped him a little bit.” He said the man should be grateful for it all, too, because he’s adamant if he hadn’t done what he did — his neighbors would have killed the guy.

Cejudo says two of his neighbors had guns on their person and they were ready to shoot. In fact, at one point, he says one of his neighbors cocked their firearm and screamed, “You move motherf****er, you’re dead.”

“If I wasn’t there,” Cejudo said, “this kid would have been dead.”

The suspect — later ID’ed by cops as 22-year-old Angel Cota — was ultimately taken into custody and booked on several charges … including DUI and assault.
