Kristin Davis has revealed that there was one storyline from Sex and the City that she couldn’t stand – and even tried to get out of filming it.
Davis, 60, who starred in the original 1998 series as art dealer Charlotte York, recalled the plotline during a recent episode of her podcast Are You a Charlotte?
She explained that during the sixth season of the show, the script called for York and her second husband, Harry Goldenblatt, played by Evan Handler, to come down with a bout of bad food poisoning, according to Us Weekly.
The pair were supposed to be out at a fancy dinner, enjoying dishes like French cheese, only for the both of them to then get hit with food poisoning and end up on the toilet.
‘I just hated that storyline so much,’ Davis admitted on the podcast, per the outlet.
Davis disliked it so much that she even went to the episode’s writers, Elisa Zuritsky and Julia Rottenberg, and questioned why they had to do this.
‘They were like, «It’s so funny,»‘ Davis remembered.
‘I think it was based on a story where someone went to France and had a similar experience with their decadent cheeses, which we’re not used to here,’ she continued.

‘I didn’t like that. I didn’t want to lay on the floor of the bathroom with Evan in stained T-shirts. Ick.’
However, the two ended up acting out the scene, and it made the cut on the 14th episode of season six.
Sex and The City ended that season in 2004, but was revived in 2021 as the ladies returned for a spinoff, called And Just Like That, about life in their 50s.
The spinoff stars Sarah Jessica Parker Parker as Carrie Bradshaw, Kristin Davis as Charlotte York, and Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes.
Samantha Jones, who was played by Kim Cattrall in the original series, did not participate in the revival.
However, it looks like there will be some new characters for fans to look forward to meeting this year, as And Just Like That is set to premiere its third season on HBO sometime this year.
During an on-stage talk at the Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia late last year, Parker teased some new additions to the cast.
‘There is growth with new faces,’ Parker said, per Variety.

‘Carrie has a wonderful storyline,’ she continued.
‘The story takes some big swings and we fold some big ideas into those big swings. Some of the male characters are back, and there are some new men.’
She also shared that the third season took over seven months to shoot and involved ‘crazy long hours.’
‘It feels really big, really robust and exciting,’ Parker shared.
