Cynthia Nixon Defends Miranda's Break-Up With Steve On And Just Like That
Cynthia Nixon, who plays Miranda Hobbes in Sex and the City and its sequel series, And Just Like That..., has defended her character’s breakup with onscreen husband Steve Brady (David Eigenberg). Seventeen years after the original SATC said goodbye to its fans, And Just Like That picks right back up, exploring the lives of the characters — minus Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) — and introducing new ones in a series that has left critics and fans divided.
Of course, the return of Miranda, Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) to TV screens isn’t the first time audiences have seen the cast since they bid farewell in 2004. Two feature films followed, one in 2008 and the other in 2010, filling in details that only the most devoted fans were eager to know. In general, the films left a bad taste in the mouths of viewers, particularly the 2010 sequel, which saw the women travel to Dubai for what can be described as a disrespectful portrayal of Middle Eastern culture and values. Yet, throughout its ups and downs, the SATC franchise has consistently managed to keep certain plot points interesting. One such point has been the relationship between Miranda and Steve. A consistent, emotional tug-of-war, the eventual marriage of the two pleased many fans, as did Miranda’s decision to forgive Steve after he cheated on her in the first SATC film. But And Just Like That finds the couple in a very different place, with Miranda realizing that she is attracted to non-binary comedian, Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez).
