'And Just Like That…' Fans Caught a Bizarre Plot Hole in the Most Recent Episode
And Just Like That... we have a major continuity error.
On last week's episode of the Sex and the City spinoff, Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker) finds out that her dad passed away from a stroke. She breaks down in tears and later tells Charlotte that she regrets not being able to spend more time with him because she was so busy with work (she's currently editing a docuseries).
However, fans quickly pointed out that Lisa's dad had already been killed off. In the first season back in 2021, after Mr. Big's tragic Peloton death, Lisa and Charlotte had a conversation about grief, and Lisa revealed that her dad had died the year before. Then, in season 2, Lisa's dad (Billy Dee Williams) attended her anniversary party. So, essentially, he died, came back to life, and then died again across three seasons.
Days after the episode aired, a source close to AJLT told IndieWire that Lisa was referring to her stepdad in season 1.
In a recent interview with Variety, Ari Parker discussed her character's loss of her father. 'It comes as a surprise, and like any human, losing someone you love is earth-shattering, no matter how old you are,' she said. 'It does shake her ground in a way that makes her a little bit more focused—maybe a little hyper-focused. And now her marriage is, you know, not in trouble, but someone else can get her attention in this vulnerable place. So I think the death made her unsteady in a way that she might not even realize.'
She also spoke about fans' strong reactions to the series. When asked if she thinks people have finally calmed down now that the show is in its third season, she responded, 'I think they have not calmed down, but they can't stop watching.'
And Just Like That... drops new episodes every Thursday at 9 p.m. ET on HBO Max.

Paul Teal, who died of cancer in November 2024 at the age of 35, plays Pastor Pete in six episodes of Charlotte-shot thriller series "The Hunting Wives," which debuted on Netflix on Monday, July 21. The Wilmington actor performed in dozens of shows for multiple Wilmington theater companies over the years, including Opera House Theatre Co., Thalian Association Community Theatre and Techmoja Dance and Theater Co., among others. He also had an active career as a film and TV actor, appearing in Max's "The Staircase," AMC's "The Walking Dead" and Netflix's "Outer Banks," as well as in multiple high-profile, Wilmington-shot productions, including Showtime series "George and Tammy" and the Hallmark Channel's "USS Christmas." Paul Teal: Heartbroken Wilmington theater community reacts to the sudden death of actor Teal was best known for appearing in long-running, Wilmington-shot drama "One Tree Hill."

Harrison Ford endorsed Kamala Harris. Now he says the country is ‘on a healthy swing to the right'
Despite endorsing Kamala Harris for president during the runup to the 2024 election, movie legend Harrison Ford seems to be OK with Donald Trump in the White House, saying the country is 'on a healthy swing to the right at the moment.' In a wide-ranging interview with Variety published Wednesday, July 30, the actor famous for playing Han Solo and Indiana Jones said, 'The pendulum doth swing in both directions. … And, as nature dictates, it will swing back.' Ford, who has openly leaned liberal over the years, recorded a video last year for the Harris campaign, in which he said Trump spent his first term 'turning people against each other.' Six months into Trump's second term, though, Ford was more philosophical. 'In politics and in life, you don't always get what you want, but you get what you get and you don't get upset,' Ford told Variety. 'They teach us that in kindergarten, but they also teach you to fight for what you think is right.' He also seemed to suggest that the country needs to move toward the center politically. 'Currently the issue is not who we are, but that we're not who we used to be because we've been purposefully disaggregated into serviceable political units,' Ford observed. 'And that has caused the middle to become frayed and tenuous, and the middle is where we belong. Not because it's banal and safe, but because it's fair. Compromise is fair and honest. 'Now, because we've been disaggregated in this way, we're having a hard time finding commonality. But if you look at the economy, you'll figure out where the commonality is — it's where it always was: Rich get richer, and poor get poorer. And that ain't exactly right.' Ford also talked in the interview about the beginning of his long friendship with George Lucas, which happened during the filming of 'American Graffiti' (1973) in San Rafael, and continued through the ' Star Wars ' and 'Indiana Jones' films. 'I didn't think he could speak. He never spoke,' Ford recalled. 'I remember there was an interview for the part that I was eventually given, and he was the only guy in the room that didn't talk. I later realized he didn't like to talk very much, but he did when necessary.' Ford played bully Bob Falfa in the smash-hit movie about a last night out among car cruising high school seniors in 1962 Modesto. The film was made on a very low budget.

'Happy Gilmore 2' shoots up the charts, earns Netflix's biggest opening weekend numbers
Adam Sandler's big swing at Netflix has paid off. "Happy Gilmore 2" snagged 91.9 million minutes watched in its first weekend, per Netflix's internal data. This amounts to 46.7 million views between July 25 and 27, according to the streamer's calculations. This viewership gives Sandler's star-studded sequel bragging rights for having the biggest U.S. opening weekend of all time for a Netflix movie, a spokesperson for the streamer confirmed to USA TODAY on July 30. "Happy Gilmore 2" is currently in the No. 1 position for movies streamed worldwide. Variety was first to report the news. In the sequel, co-written by Sandler, Happy has left golf behind after a tragic accident years ago. When he needs to raise $300,000 to send his daughter, Vienna (Sunny Sandler), to a prestigious ballet school in Paris, Happy hits the links again and runs into old pal Shooter McGavin. Happy also teams up with the who's who of the PGA Tour – including Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa – to save traditional golf when an energy drink mogul (Benny Safdie) tries to popularize a more extreme version of the sport. The number of cameos from stars like Bad Bunny (who was billed as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio and had decent screen time to flex his acting chops), Eminem, Kid Cudi and Travis Kelce even shocked Julie Bowen, who plays Happy's wife, Virginia. "The call sheet was coded. It did not have anybody's names on it and there were 135 different cast members," she told USA TODAY. "I would see Polaroids in the hair and makeup trailer and I saw a person that no one's mentioned yet. And I'm like, 'When was he here?!' (They'd say) 'He's Newscaster No. 4.' And I'm like, 'Are you kidding me?'" Christopher McDonald, who plays Happy's one-time nemesis Shooter, also found himself starstruck. "I have known a few of these golf legends and legends-in-training. But seeing them one-on-one, it's like: 'Oh, my God, that's Rory McIlroy. That's Bryson DeChambeau. That's Scottie Scheffler.' It was mind-blowing for me," he told USA TODAY. "And I came in on my days off just to hang out with them." Contributing: Brian Truitt, USA TODAY
