Kristin Davis, known for her role as Charlotte York in the iconic series Sex and The City, recently opened up about a storyline that she did not enjoy filming. In an episode of her podcast “Are You a Charlotte?”, the 60-year-old actress revealed her dislike for a plot in season 6 of the show where her character and her second husband, Harry, played by Evan Handler, suffer from food poisoning after indulging in a variety of French cheeses. Davis admitted that she tried to convince the writers to cut the scene altogether, but they insisted on keeping it as they found it amusing.
Despite her efforts to change the storyline, Davis found herself on the bathroom floor with Handler, wearing stained T-shirts, a scene she did not particularly enjoy. However, she went on to reprise her role as Charlotte in the 2021 reboot of the series, And Just Like That.
In a recent episode of her podcast, Davis also shared behind-the-scenes secrets about the SATC/AJLT universe, including the fact that Kyle MacLachlan, who played her first husband, Trey MacDougal, turned down the opportunity to return for the reboot. Davis revealed that there was an idea for MacLachlan’s character to make a comeback, but he declined as he wanted the storyline to be amazing and have a deeper connection to their characters’ relationship.
Following Davis’ comments, MacLachlan expressed his willingness to return to the series if the storyline was compelling enough. He mentioned that he had been approached to reprise his role and that he was open to the idea if the writers came up with a more substantial storyline that delved deeper into their characters’ relationship.
Overall, Davis and MacLachlan’s insights into the behind-the-scenes of Sex and The City and its reboot provide fans with a glimpse into the creative process and the challenges of bringing beloved characters back to the screen. With the possibility of MacLachlan returning to the series in the future, fans can look forward to more exciting developments in the SATC/AJLT universe.
