Thing is we haven't really learned much about what has gone on in their lives since we saw them. It's what's happening now. If they could show the progression of what has lead them to have these personality transplants it would help. For how in love with big Carrie was she barely cares he's dead? Is she no longer writing? Where he quick wit? Miranda..where to even start. She used to jog and get heavily invested in TV shows and love her job. None of that.. just this odd rewriting of her life. She used to have such hard boundaries and morals. Charlotte also used to run and ride horses and loved art. What has she been doing these last years?. It's like watching three strangers trying to convince us they have a connection to the older characters. Who are they beyond the events that have happened around and to them?

Personally all I wanted was a what happend after the last movie and where are they now. No new characters...it's 10 episodes...not enough to get invested in them. I dread to think what the last episode is. Unless it's Samantha coming back (I wish) I think the long time fans of the show will be left very disappointed in where their characters are.

I always thought it was kind of weird that she stayed in her ex-husband's apartment for so many years. It's not like she and Harry weren't comfortable in their own right. Although I guess it's very fancy New York real estate, and she did have to do battle with Bunny to get it.

If I was Harry I wouldn’t want to live in her ex marital home tbh, i always found it strange and I presume he would have had a nice apartment too

I think they will do a throwback to the scene where Miranda and Steve got back together on the bridge, if he is ever in it again that is 😂

I would live WITH my husbands ex wife (if he had one) for an apartment on the upper east side in New York 🤣
 
Is anyone else annoyed at how Carrie and Miranda treat Charlotte? Always acting like she’s so exasperating and doesn’t know duck all? It appears that she’s made life choices that she’s pleased with, and seems the happiest out of all of them, so I wish they’d cut it out with the sighing and eye rolling.
I bet neither of them has apologised over her concerns about Miranda’s drinking, Carrie with her ‘shut up Charlotte’ and Miranda snidely accusing her of sending that book.
They make it clear she’s a fifth wheel too with Carrie and Miranda as the ‘besties’ who confide in each other (even going back as far as Miranda snubbing her as godmother).

No wonder she’s so desperate to try and make new friends.
 
Charlotte’s the glue holding this show together now.
I listened to the Bradshaw Boys podcast earlier... hilarious!
One of their theories is Che and Miranda are going to be in a drink driving accident, with Che at the wheel. And an obscure rumour someone over heard from the set, that Carrie thinks her lamp is haunted by Big (that’s what’s making the beep). And she goes into the lamp store to return it and has a meltdown and starts smashing up the shop. Very entertaining.

they’ve been needlessly mean to her in this series - charlotte’s my favourite so i guess i’m defensive but it’s like they shut her out of things and that her problems aren’t as “big” as theirs. just because her life seems the happiest! they’re so impatient with her all the time and why did she feel the need to apologise to carrie for “making” her come to the piano recital?!

of the main three charlotte is the one who seems the most like her original self to me (though that’s clutching at straws) and i always got the vibe even in the original series that carrie sort of took her for granted. she and samantha were probably the two that you would want as your friends in real life - carrie can’t listen to anyone’s issue without making it about her.
 
Apparently speaking to her like crap had rubbed off on Stanford, as he was being a complete wanker to her too, - for no obvious reason. I was cheering her on when she had the audacity to challenge Miranda in the latest episode! Miranda storming off because someone had the cheek to point out she’s acting like a twit.
I bet she would have been ten times the godmother to Brady that completely disinterested Carrie is. In fact, she’s have better godmother to Brady than Miranda appears to be mother.
 
I think Charlotte was the one most at ease with who she is, she was always clear she wanted to be married with children. That's the life she now has and seems grateful to be where she is in life.

She and Samantha, although polar opposites in many ways, were always the most supportive friends. Charlotte was there supporting Miranda when she thought she was getting a termination, even though Charlotte had struggled to be pregnant she still supported Miranda. When she found out Carrie was cheating on Aidan just before her own wedding, even though shocked still stood by her friend. When her marriage ended and she was in an uncertain period of her life, feeling she had no purpose and volunteering because she couldn't find paid gallery work she gave Carrie the deposit for her apartment. Carrie traveling across the city to shout at me to give her fifty grand would have gotten the business end of my boot not a cheque, especially not when she had a wardrobe containing forty grands worth of high heels.

There has always been a slightly sneering tone in the show towards Charlotte and Samantha, one "oversexed" and judged for it, the other "just" a wife and mother judged prim and undersexed/frigid uptight sexually. Those two women are the more interesting for me, neither one is apologetic about who they are. Miranda has the world's biggest chip on her shoulder and miserable even when she has exactly what she wants, Carrie is vain and selfish and I would say married Big for status.

i have never agreed with a post more 👏🏻👏🏻

charlotte and samantha were always the best friends in the group for so many reasons. i love the moment where samantha calls the woman at the baby shower a witch for “stealing” charlotte’s baby name - like it doesn’t mean anything to her and she doesn’t understand the big deal but she sees it’s upset her friend so she’s instantly on the defensive.

the carrie moment you mention is my absolute least favourite thing she’s ever done in this show. she’s a deeply selfish person who could never settle anywhere or with anyone because she always felt she deserved better.

the show always made fun of sam and charlotte a little but they also are the ones who have ended up with the lives they wanted and that makes me happy. i hope ajlt ends with charlotte getting the new circle of friends she deserves.
