Sarah Jessica Parker on Aidan

Carrie Bradshaw is back in the third season of “And Just Like That,” and her return comes with its fair share of complications. The season premiere sees Carrie once again entangled with her ex-boyfriend Aidan, despite their agreement to stay apart for five years. As Carrie struggles to let go of Aidan, viewers are taken on a journey of phone sex attempts and emotional turmoil between the two characters. In a surprising turn of events, Carrie is seen working on a fiction project, showcasing a new side of herself as she navigates her feelings and desires.

Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays Carrie, spoke to Variety about the joy of reuniting with John Corbett’s Aidan, Carrie’s foray into writing fiction, and the character’s evolution over the past 27 years since “Sex and the City” first aired.

The decision to reintegrate Aidan into the show after their sabbatical was a complex one for Carrie. While both characters intended to honor their agreement, the deep affection they share makes it challenging to stay apart. The dynamics of their relationship and the complications that arise make for an intriguing storyline that resonates with viewers.

The interaction between Carrie and her friends, especially Anthony, sheds light on the complexities of her relationship with Aidan. While Carrie is a true romantic at heart, her journey towards finding happiness is more about the discovery rather than the destination. As she navigates the ups and downs of her love life, Carrie is ultimately searching for a sense of home that continues to elude her.

Carrie’s shift to working on a novel in the series reflects a new chapter in her life, one that parallels her own experiences and emotions. As she delves into the world of fiction writing, Carrie begins to explore her own identity and desires in a deeper way.

Overall, the return of Carrie Bradshaw in “And Just Like That” promises to be a journey of self-discovery, love, and new beginnings. As she grapples with her feelings for Aidan and embarks on a new creative project, Carrie’s character continues to evolve and captivate audiences with her charm and complexity.
