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.

Totally agree with all of this, well said 😊
 
Channel 5 had a show last night (Friday) focusing on the wealth, extravagance and hustle and bustle of NYC, narrated by Kim Cattrall 🥰
Beautiful footage, 60 Million Dollar High Rise apartments and fabulously dressed personal shoppers - a great comfort watch
One of the apartments has a VERY similar kitchen to Carrie's :ROFLMAO:

Catch it on Demand.

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.

They’ve never deserved Charlotte. She’s wonderful, and just because she’s not a cynical tosspot they treat her like crap
 
I never rated Charlotte, my young silly brain thought being a wife and mother was lame. Now out of three she is the best one, made the right decisions for herself and is happy. It is a good thing for Sam that Kim did not return, she is ten years old than the others. The writers would have her crawling round on a Zimmer frame with a home help giving her bed baths and considering euthanasia due to her advanced dementia-being sixty five is no joke!

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.
