Anyone wanna join in with the pre-screening goss and hype? Me first… SJP has posted her run through nameplate on insta. But so has this actor - a rumoured love interest for Miranda? What do we think?

@PurplebeadedFendi
Interesting theory re Big/Aiden.
Why was Chris North cancelled?
Unrelated, but I think he and Kristen Davies were a couple for a while?
Charlotte has always been my favourite…love her clothes, her hair…not so keen on the current tweakments!

Chris Noth explanation above.

Kristen Davis only this week has cleared up the Chris Noth rumours.

Charlotte wears a lot of classic Moschino which I love.

Chris Noth breaks silence on abuse allegations: 'I'm not going to lay down and just say it's over'

No charges were brought against him, yet his career was pretty much ruined. Just the way it is these days, I suppose.

Series 1 of SATC was very experimental—they filmed the whole season before the first episode aired, which meant that they had no idea how it would be received. The fourth wall/talking directly to the camera never happened after season 1. The same fate with the quick “man on the street” interviews with the character’s name/age/profession labelled on the screen as they gave their opinion, ie “Dan, 32, Investment Banker”.

And because nobody knew who they were yet (no episodes had aired), there were no connections yet with fashion designers, so they were unable to borrow any designer brands, and certainly couldn’t afford to buy much with their costume budget during their pilot season.

Edited

It was very much in keeping with the book.. I got it on discount while working in HMV during my student days 😎😊

This has been discussed loads on Reddit too, but it's never been said on the show that Miranda doesn't have any money. She stayed with Nya because her apartment was so close to the campus and Miranda was exhausted moving between Che's flat and her place in Brooklyn. She's currently in a NY Airbnb so clearly has plenty of money for that!
My guess is Miranda will get a new place later in the series now her life is more settled. In the last two years she's quit work, become a student, split with Steve and become a later life lesbian, moved to LA, moved back to NY, fast tracked at Human Rights Watch and had easily cured alcoholism. Not rushing to buy a flat when her life has been changing so much is the most sensible thing she could do.

So easily cured 🤣🤣🤣 well observed

Oh my god @CowTown I hated it too!!! Thank christ I had already been indoctrinated into the programme

Cynthia Nixon is the guest on the ‘how to fail’ podcast this week. What a fascinating, clever woman.

I listened too and liked her much more than I thought I would

Thanks @Netaporter
So the dating rumours were just a result of a lot of hugging on the red carpet!

I didn’t gel with Candace Bushnell’s writing style—I much prefer the SATC writing team!

Scorchio84 · 13/06/2025 12:20

You're absolutely right! It was all on the street talking to camera.. it's still on my bookshelf, like many others that were "cool" back then...now it's all Pub Quiz & Stephen King, Ross O'Carroll Kelly & auto/biographies

greengreyblue · 13/06/2025 17:16

Just watched after work. Forgot and was so excited to have the house to myself and a cold glass of wine !
Bit miffed as my recording g said 1hr 4 but episode ended at 52 mins.
Still, really enjoyed it .

Are we meant to see her as the only financially relatable lead? Because (other than Nya and, eventually, Che, both now gone) everyone else in this series is unimaginably wealthy.

I heard a good analysis during the first series on one reason why the reboot didn't hit home enough. They've introduced 'diversity by numbers' (this was from someone young and diverse themselves) which doesn't feel authentic but centre the entire thing round the extremely rich, so how do they really feel they are really representing how people lead their lives better this time round?

Why is it their job to represent anyone? It’s just fiction. It was Sex and the City not Tolstoy.

I remember loving the book before the show. I read it on holiday with my boyfriend in Majorca in 1997. He is now my husband .

So far as I'm concerned they don't have to at all. But the commenter was bringing out the inherent problem in reshaping the show in some ways to 'represent' New York society better while simultaneously swinging almost all the cast into the realms of the uber-rich. You can't really do both so it lands awkwardly.

greengreyblue · 13/06/2025 17:48

Well ye main characters were all on course to earn well in SATC and/ or married well. Now they’re at the peak of their careers so not unexpected.

BrianWankum · 13/06/2025 18:28

I'm sure I didn't hate Aiden this much in SATC but jesus fuck he's an arse now. Asks her to stay for dinner and overnight and then at bedtime 'suddenly remembers', oh I should warn the boys? As if. And she's being so hopeful and giving him a key to their house.

The rest of it was fine but not amazing.

Samantha would've told Carrie straight that Aiden was taking the piss and she was worth more than the breadcrumbs he's giving her.

I was waiting for some airport drug smuggling blunder in this episode like the potential Shoe rat poisoning in the last one.

yep absolutely this... ditch the bitch bring on the gardener!

Holluschickie · 13/06/2025 19:14

Do they want to make us hate all the men? That Harry scene.😖
Aidan is an absolute arse. " We lay out what we are going to do each day...". Carrie should have told him to piss off.
Carrie's dress was puzzling. Who goes to Virginia in a tight pink low cut dress? Very 80s.
Dolly Wells is gorgeous and so right for Miranda. Funny and warm,the opposite of horrible Che.

BrianWankum · 13/06/2025 20:21

Dolly/Joy feels like the first person who might actually be an equal partner for Miranda. (Robert maybe?)

Carriedoesntlivehereanymore · 13/06/2025 20:35

Aidan … WTF?? She should tell him to fuck right off!! What does he mean, he didn’t get round to telling the boys so she has to sleep
in some outhouse? He is unbearable and she needs to get rid immediately!

Carriedoesntlivehereanymore · 13/06/2025 20:50

Also, if Carrie invites Seema away for a trip but then is angling for a sleepover at Aidan’s, she’s just planning to dump Seema on the 2nd night? Or have I got that wrong?

Holluschickie · 13/06/2025 20:52

I don't understand AJLT's obsession with the bodily secretions of its men. Enough already! So unsexy.

This. How horrible to do that to a friend! I like Joy and although her part is small so far, she’s written well.
