Season 3 of ‘And Just Like That' Has a Glaring Shein Plot Hole
For better or for worse, the season premiere of And Just Like That... lived up to the show's traditions. There were bizarre rendezvous (as in a one-night stand with a nun), controversial outfit choices (even though I'm a proud defender of Carrie's now-infamous hat), and a phone sex scene that I'd rather forget. But what's been plaguing my mind this week doesn't involve any of the leading ladies, but rather one of their children, who, as a collective, manage to test my patience and my desire to have my own kids more with each passing episode. Tell me why, after famously having a closet full of valuable designer goods last season that she sold to afford a new keyboard (a questionable choice on its own), Lily York-Goldenblatt is ordering Shein? In one of the premiere episode's York-Goldenblatt family scenes, we see a large branded box that she's ordered. But Lily is the daughter of a prominent lawyer who lives in a palatial Park Avenue apartment! The masses (I among them) are not convinced.
Lily's purchasing decision was met with a bit of onscreen backlash as well (her younger sibling Rock hit her with a "Maybe don't order so much fast fashion? It's killing the environment" dig), however that still ignores the fact that the daughter of Park Avenue's princess would never be buying $7 cargo pants in the first place! Surely, even in a universe where Lilly stupidly sold off her Chanel dress 'from Lagerfeld's last collection,' she would still be given a generous clothing allowance? And even if it's not a huge fund, maybe she'd be the type to secure good deals on Depop?
Honestly, the Shein shoutout felt like a slight cop out. A random yet recognizable name drop (we all know what the brand's about...whether we shop it or shame it) that Rock could drag Lily for, to signal to us at home that Rock is this show's resident socially-conscious teen.
But why, on a show so beloved for its style, would they position Lily as a fast fashion fiend when there are so many other faults to latch onto? There was that time she hooked up with Miranda's son...that other time she made her mom trek through a snowstorm to buy her condoms...or when she basically ruined Carrie's wedding (still not over it). And Just Like That loves to test the bounds of reality, but this was just a step too far for me. Get Lily in a Bushwick thrift store as soon as possible. Surely Rock has some suggestions.

Sarah Jessica Parker admits she was ‘shocked' the ‘And Just Like That…' audience disliked Che Diaz
And just like that, Sarah Jessica Parker found out what the fandom really thought. The 'Sex and the City' alum, 60, who reprised her role as the iconic Carrie Bradshaw in the show's spinoff 'And Just Like That…' revealed she was 'shocked' to find out the audience didn't like Sara Ramirez's character Che Diaz. 'A friend of mine brought it up to me, and it's like: 'What are you talking about?'' Parker said in an interview with The Guardian on Friday. 'And he said: 'Yeah, there's all this conversation.'' Advertisement 7 Sara Ramirez as Che Diaz and Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw in 'And Just Like That…' MAX Ramirez, 49, originated the character in 2021 during season one before becoming Miranda's (Cynthia Nixon) love interest in season two. They left the show after the second season wrapped. Parker explained to the outlet that she doesn't listen to backlash against projects she stars in. Advertisement 'I've been an actor for 50 years, and I've almost never paid attention to peripheral chatter,' the 'Hocus Pocus' star added, noting that when it came to Ramirez she 'Ioved working with them.' 7 Sara Ramirez and Sarah Jessica Parker in 'And Just Like That…' During Ramirez's run, fans took to social media to share their dislike of the stand up comedian. One viewer wrote on X, 'Stop subjecting us to che, they are making it really hard to get into and just like that…. Well, them, and all the other annoying things that have ruined a perfectly good cupcake of a show.' Advertisement A second social media user wrote, 'I've started to skip the Che Diaz scenes in And Just Like That but now the episodes are like two minutes long.' 7 The HBO drama 'And Just Like That…' Rounding out the annoyance, a third watcher said: 'Trigger warning for this week's episode of And Just Like That: it opens with Che doing stand up again.' Before Ramirez concluded their run on the spinoff, the 'Grey's Anatomy' alum wrote on Instagram, 'I am not the fictional characters I have played, nor am I responsible for the things that are written for them to say.' Advertisement 'I am a human being, an artist, an actor. And we are living in a world that has become increasingly hostile toward anyone who dares to free themselves from the gender binary, or disrupt the mainstream.' Ramirez also told Entertainment Weekly that they're 'actually nothing like' the person they portrayed on the HBO show. 7 Sara Ramirez and Cynthia Nixon in 'And Just Like That…' Craig Blankenhorn 'It was absolutely exhausting to bring this person to life,' they confessed. 'I had to stay in a bit of an extroverted mode in order to do that. So the efforts that it took to bring this character forth makes me feel really proud of what I've been able to deliver.' Although Ramirez was thrilled to see their character evoke chatter. 'I love that people have passionate opinions, that Che struck a nerve,' they said. 'I think it's really interesting to play a person who elicits such strong reactions and who can start much-needed conversations. If the storylines created major watercooler moments after each episode, then we did our job.' In May, Nixon, 59, divulged that she thinks 'And Just Like That…' works best when the core group of characters aren't in long term romances. 7 Che Diaz and Miranda. Advertisement 'I think our show is always at its most quintessential when as many of us as possible are single and dating and failing at it,' the actress stated in a conversation with Entertainment Weekly at the time. Now, with season three of the drama, which also stars Kristin Davis, Nicole Ari Parker, Sarita Choudhury and John Corbett, in full swing, viewers are in store for a whole new slew of relationships. So far, Rosie O'Donnell guest starred as a virgin nun who slept with Miranda during the premiere episode. 'Rosie and I have known each other for a long time,' Nixon told the outlet. 'I was like, 'Shall I text her?' And [showrunner Michael Patrick King] was like, 'Sure!' And she was wonderfully excited about the prospect, so we had a great time.' Advertisement 7 Sara Ramirez as Che Diaz. Season 3, Episode 1, titled 'Outlook Good,' saw O'Donnell, 63, take on the role of Mary, who meets Miranda a lesbian bar. The two then headed back to Mary's hotel room where they then have sex. 'One of the things that it meant was that Miranda was single again,' Nixon told E! News last month about Miranda's breakup from Che. 'And that the tensions between Miranda and Che—and also Miranda and Steve—had been quelled and quieted.' Advertisement 7 Sara Ramirez and Sarah Jessica Parker. Craig Blankenhorn 'Just speaking for Miranda,' Nixon explained, 'it meant that she was setting out on this new dating world having decided she wanted to date women and nonbinary people, but not really quite knowing how to go about that.' Also set to guest star is 'Law & Order' vet Mehcad Brooks. Advertisement 'The part of my personality that will do anything for a laugh that has no place on 'Law & Order,' I get to do it [on this show],' the 44-year-old gushed to The Post in May. 'One of the highlights of my career is that I get to act across from Nicole Ari Parker,' Brooks added. I've known her for 20 years, we've worked together before – but never in this just a joy to be around, I'm learning so much.'

Kristin Davis Reveals If She Dated Chris Noth
Of course, you know Kristin Davis from Sex and the City as well as And Just Like That... — why wouldn't you! If you're a fan of either of those shows, you also — for better or worse — know Chris Noth. Now, I consider myself pretty tapped in when it comes to pop culture lore, but even I didn't know that there was an existing rumor that Chris and Kristin had, at one point, actually dated. Well, Kristin recently got confronted with the rumor online — and her answer was very direct. So, Kristin recently shared a clip from an episode of her Are You a Charlotte? podcast, in which she tells her guest Megan Thee Stallion about how she never liked Chris' character Mr. Big. In the comments, a fan asked, "Maam didn't you date him??" "No i didnit!!!" she replied. (I think she meant "No I didn't.") So, there you have it. And just like know the truth. (Sorry.)
