What We Just Learned About Carrie And Mr. Big's Future In The Sex And The City Reboot
If you're excited about the "Sex and the City" reboot, you're definitely not alone. Fans of both the original series as well as the follow-up films are eagerly awaiting the latest update in the lives of Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) and her NYC pals, Miranda Hobbes (whom Cynthia Nixon brought to the screen) and Charlotte York Goldenblatt (whom you'll also know as Kristin Davis) ... but not Kim Cattrall's Samantha Jones. Granted, they're not the only characters who are coming back. Although Chris Noth almost didn't join in on the revival, in the end, he decided to return as Carrie's on-again-off-again love interest, Mr. Big.
Those in the know are well aware of the fact that Carrie and Big's relationship was a roller coaster of romantic highs and heartwrenching lows involving everything from modern city fairytale-like moments to devastating betrayals. They did eventually get married ... after he initially went to back out on their first wedding. Eek!
While there's been a lot of debate over the years as to whether or not Carrie and Big should have ultimately ended up together — and that's not an exaggeration, just take a look at what E! News, Medium, and even the show's creator Darren Star and original "SATC" columnist Candace Bushnell have to say about the subject — we've now learned something very interesting when it comes to what's going on with the two in the new "Sex and the City" reboot. Keep reading for all of the juicy details!
Serious drama is brewing between Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big
After all of Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big's relationship drama on "Sex and the City," you might have been hoping to find out that they were now enjoying a privileged NYC-style happily-ever-after. But it looks like that's not the situation at all. According to Page Six, "leaked script details ... seem to show Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big have split — and they're in the midst of a bitter divorce." Are you shocked and disappointed? Or unsurprised and relieved?
Either way, you'll surely be interested to know that the new "SATC" reboot sees 50-something-year-old Carrie now hosting a podcast (as she would these days, of course) while also going up against her soon-to-be ex-husband when it comes to money matters. In a specific scene, Carrie is apparently having dinner with Miranda, Charlotte, and Stanford Blatch (played by Willie Garson), while talking to them about the fact that she's about to be Big's third ex-wife (his first wife was played by Noelle Beck while Bridget Moynahan played his second). "I was taping the podcast, I was washing my hair. Yes, I wasn't eating or sleeping, but at least I felt good about my marriage," Carrie begins. However, she then adds, "Now I'm just one of the wives he was taking care of?"
Will this storyline have an unexpected twist, or are Carrie and Big truly over this time? We'll find out soon enough!
