Virginia might be for lovers, but it’s not forAnd Just Like That….
In recent episodes of the Max hit, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Aidan (John Corbett)reunitedafter 13 years and have been living acharmed lifebetween New York City and the Old Dominion — but fans shouldn’t expect to see theSex and the Cityheroine (or Aidan’s infamous chicken) in Norfolk in season 2.
“We didn’t necessarily want to do ‘Carrie goes to Virginia,’” executive producer, writer and directorMichael Patrick Kingsaid on Thursday’s episode of HBO’sAnd Just Like That… The Writers Roompodcast.
That said, viewers may never need to see Aidan’s farmhouse. In Thursday’s episode, “There Goes the Neighborhood,“Carrie found a chic new apartment— a place with generous lighting and gorgeous crown moldings that she could share with Aidan when he’s in town — thanks to her realtor pal Seema (Sarita Choudhury).
For Carrie, giving up her iconic Upper East Side apartmentmarked the end of an era, but it also marked the start of a promising new one.
Also during the episode, Carrie met with Aidan’s ex-wife Kathy (Rosemarie DeWitt), a “homespun” textile designer intended to be the “opposite of Carrie.” Over tea, the two had an awkward conversation about Aidan during which Kathy warned Carrie not to “hurt him again.”
As pop culture-steeped fans might have realized, DeWitt is the real-life wife ofRon Livingston— yes, that means Aidan’s on-screen ex is actually Carrie’s exJack Berger’s real-world spouse.“The Post-It Always Sticks Twice,“as they say.
“She [Rosemarie] has everything,” explained King, 68, of DeWitt, 51. “She’s intelligent. She’s beautiful. She’s anevent,and she’s such an amazing actor.”
