Cynthia Nixon Reveals Rosie O'Donnell Was Offered A Role In Every Season Of ‘And Just Like That…' Before Joining Season 3: 'I Think It Was A Good One'
It turns out that Rosie O'Donnell's surprising appearance on And Just Like That… Season 3 was a long time coming.
During an appearance on The View, Cynthia Nixon revealed that Michael Patrick King – who serves as the And Just Like That… executive producer, show runner, and chief writer – had written a part for O'Donnell in every season of the spinoff series in the hopes of having her on the show.
'[He] had written a part that he was hoping Rosie would do in each of the seasons and it's never worked out yet, but this one worked out. And I think it was a good one,' she explained on The View. She then teased their characters 'meet at a lesbian bar and fun ensues.'
Sarah Jessica Parker also praised O'Donnell, adding, 'She was great at the table read. She was so great.'
The comedian certainly made a splash in her Season 3 cameo. The season premiere, 'Outlook Good,' shows Miranda hooking up with Mary (O'Donnell) after meeting in a lesbian bar. But Miranda quickly comes to regret her decision after she learns more about Mary. Not only was this a one night stand, but it was actually Mary's first time having sex!
On The View, Nixon later addressed why they chose to make her character, Miranda, queer in the spinoff series.
'Michael Patrick King and I had a super brief conversation, like a one-minute conversation,' she revealed. 'It was like, 'We really want the show to be more inclusive than it used to be. We're adding all these queer characters, would you like Miranda to be one?' And I was like, 'Sure why not.''
Nixon also credited the show for being 'so great at exploring' topics like this.
'It felt like a really natural fit. And it's just one thing that our show has always done so brilliantly,' she said. 'It has allowed us, first of all, to age, to not hide the fact that we're aging. But also to evolve and change.'
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.

‘White Lotus' star talks Trump-voting character on the show, criticizes her own Trump-supporting family
"The White Lotus" star Carrie Coon admitted to "The View" on Friday that she does have friends and family who support President Donald Trump just like one of the characters on the popular HBO show. During Friday's episode of the ABC talk show, the actress discussed her "White Lotus" co-star Leslie Bibb playing a Trump voter and noted that she also has Trump-supporting family members in real life. Coon went on to say they're now impossible to talk politics with because they follow an authoritarian. "I had family members who voted for Trump. We're from Ohio. We had to have those conversations," she said when asked by co-host Ana Navarro if it's "actually possible to have friends who don't share your same beliefs." Arnold Schwarzenegger's Son Patrick Admits He's Afraid To Watch Nude 'White Lotus' Scene With Famous Family A scene from the show went viral in March when Kate, played by Bibb, appears to reveal to her horrified best friends Laurie and Jaclyn, played by Coon and Michelle Monaghan, that she voted for Trump. During the scene, Kate's friends – who assumed she was a Democrat – slowly get it out of her during dinner that she voted for Trump. After Kate admits her husband is a Republican, Laurie asks her outright if she supported him. She responds with a curt smile and a long pause before saying, "Are we really going to talk about Trump tonight?'' and quickly changing the subject.

Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture After admitting that she has Trump-supporting friends, Coon suggested to "The View" co-hosts that those voters are brainwashed. "I think there was a time when it was possible to have conversations about it," she said. "But when you're in an authoritarian slide it becomes a closed system. The leader is the source of information. That is not penetrable, so when you're inside of that circular information system, then it's very hard." Several of the co-hosts nodded in agreement. Coon continued, saying Trump voters don't have much "basis in fact" any longer. 'White Lotus' Star Patrick Schwarzenegger Wished He 'Didn't Have My Last Name' While Auditioning "It's very hard to talk about anything because there's no basis in fact. And now we're seeing the defunding of the NIH [National Institute of Health] and NSF [National Science Foundation]," she said, adding, "So, like, science which – I believe in science, and I don't think, there's not like a — there's no middle ground there." Co-host Joy Behar followed up by asking if Americans will be shocked into seeing Trump's dark side because of the cuts he's made to government programs. Coon indicated she wasn't so sure. "I think narrative is very powerful and it's very easy to teach them that they should blame immigrants or trans people while billionaires are picking their pockets," she article source: 'White Lotus' star talks Trump-voting character on the show, criticizes her own Trump-supporting family

The Bachelor: Grant Ellis and Fiancée Juliana Split Up After 3 Months
Another Bachelor coupling has ended in heartbreak: Grant Ellis, the most recent star of ABC's dating series, has announced he and his fiancée Juliana Pasquarosa have split up. The news comes less than three months after the finale of Grant's season, which aired in March and saw Grant choose Juliana over runner-up Litia — after much deliberation — and propose to her, with Juliana happily accepting.

'We both gave this our best and poured a lot of love into each other, but after a lot of deep conversations, we've come to the understanding that we're simply not the right fit long term.' 'What we had was meaningful,' he insisted. 'The connection we built on the show was real, and so was the effort we made to continue once the cameras stopped rolling. There's no negativity here. No resentment. Just two people who care about each other and want the best for one another moving forward. I'll always be grateful for what we shared and for the growth that came with it.' Juliana confirmed the split on her Instagram: 'After a lot of honest conversations and reflection, we've come to the decision that this chapter of our lives is meant to continue on separate paths… We're still cheering each other on, just from different places now.'
