And Just Like That fans are left furious over mainstay characters who are 'in a race for biggest dummy'
Fans of And Just Like That season 3 were left furious following episode 8, as they accused the show's mainstay characters of vying to be the 'biggest dummy.' On Thursday, the latest episode of the Sex and the City spinoff, titled 'Happily Ever After', saw Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) reunite with boyfriend Aidan Shaw (John Corbett), and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) nearly relapse on alcohol. Despite having a long-distance relationship since Aiden moved to Virginia to be present for his children, he suddenly showed up to surprise Carrie at her New York apartment. However, he then revealed his jealousy over her relationship with handsome British downstairs neighbor, writer Duncan Reeves (Jonathan Cake), and 'manipulated' Carrie to cancel their writing session, prompting fans to label him 'insecure and toxic.' Meanwhile, after Miranda's love interest Joy (Dolly Wells) left a bottle of rum at her apartment, Miranda started telling her friends that perhaps she's not really an alcoholic, and was simply drinking before due to her unhappy marriage. 'Miranda and Carrie in a race for biggest dummy is crazy to watch,' one viewer wrote on X after the episode aired. 'Why is Carrie still into Aidan!?' someone else asked. 'I'm hating the blatant emotional manipulation with Aiden and Carrie this season why is she trying to stuff all her money and eggs into that terrible basket.' 'Did Aiden just manipulate Carrie?' another fan questioned. 'Why did they bring back the insecure and toxic Aidan? Carrie doesn't deserve to go through this after losing Big,' someone else chimed in. 'Carrie just go hang out with your hot neighbor. Send Aidan back to the woods.' 'Emotional manipulation. This dude Aiden gets worse and worse. When is Carrie going to wake up. This is so embarrassing.' Fans were also less than thrilled about Miranda's plot line, and how she did not tell Joy that she is an alcoholic. 'Old Miranda would NEVER think abstaining from drinking as an alcoholic was an over correction,' one wrote. 'Miranda gotta go LMAO,' someone else joked. 'When Joy finds out Miranda didn't tell her about the alcoholism she's gonna be pissed and break up with her. And rightfully so.' However, after spending the night together, he revealed his jealousy over her relationship with handsome downstairs neighbor, writer Duncan Reeves (Jonathan Cake), and 'manipulated' Carrie to cancel their writing session, prompting fans to label him 'insecure and toxic' 'Why is Carrie still into Aidan!?' one fans asked, as others also expressed frustration with Carrie for trying to make the relationship work After Carrie spent the night with Aidan, she started getting ready for her writing session with her handsome downstairs neighbor. However, Aiden seemed disappointed that she would be gone and told her that the real reason he came is because his son Wyatt moved back in with his mom and was not answering his texts. Carrie told him she would cancel her writing session so they could spend time together. Later, Aiden suggested they should invite Duncan to dinner. However, Carrie firmly turned down the offer. Aiden questioned what they talk about in their sessions. 'We just talk about work,' she replied. 'I find that hard to believe,' he replied. 'You two just sit there and look at each other and say, what, "Page 22 sucks"'? 'That's exactly right,' she replied. Later Aiden continued to dig to try to learn more about Duncan. While attending a gallery exhibit he asked Seema (Sarita Choudhury) and her new love interest, who is also Carrie's gardener, Adam (Logan Marshall-Green) about Duncan. However they provided him with little information. Meanwhile Miranda attempted to convince Carrie and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) that she doesn't have an alcohol problem. 'Maybe I'm not an alcoholic. Maybe I'm just alcohol-ish.' 'I am not familiar with that term,' Carrie replied. 'I haven't always been an alcoholic,' she went on, 'And I think the main reason I started drinking so much was that I was unhappy in my marriage, my career.' 'I was questioning my sexuality.' 'I understand questioning your sexuality, but questioning your alcoholism?' 'I'm just thinking that maybe I overcorrected. Maybe I'm the kind of person who occasionally enjoys a cocktail with her girlfriend at the end of the day.' Later she nearly had a sip of champagne but Charlotte stopped her. She also reached for the bottle of rum later on in the episode, but in the end doesn't drink it. The beloved Sex and the City series follows friends Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte and their tangled lives in New York City. Nicole Ari Parker and Sarita returned as the group's new besties Lisa and Seema this season. The show picks up 11 years after the events of the 2010 film Sex and the City 2, and follows three of the four original main characters. Following the success of Kim Cattrall 's cameo in the second season, it's been widely reported Samantha will return for at least part of the third season. Sara Ramirez will not be returning as controversial non-binary comedian Che Diaz (there's some disagreement as to whether this was because of their political posts, because of the end of the character's relationship with Miranda, or because viewers just found them so annoying). Since starting in December 2021, the Sex And The City spin-off has seen Carrie, Samantha and Charlotte grapple with sexuality, gender identity, death, grief, divorce, drug use, and pretty much every other hot issue in Western society. The original Sex and the City ran for six seasons, airing on HBO from 1998 until 2004. The story continued with two feature films: Sex and the City (2008) and Sex and the City 2 (2010). The first season of And Just Like That... premiered in 2021. There will be 12 episodes in And Just Like That… season 3, with the last premiering on August 14.

And Just Like That fans furious over 'irritating' Carrie cheating scandal: 'They've ruined all of these characters'
Fans have been torn on Carrie Bradshaw's (Sarah Jessica Parker) bizarre long distance relationship with Aidan Shaw (John Corbett), but now many are calling for it to end after a shocking revelation from Aidan on Thursday's And Just Like That... The new episode - entitled Silent Mode - found Aidan returning to New York, after his troubled son Wyatt (Logan Souza) agreed to go to a wilderness program in Wyoming for a week. However, Aidan changed his mind at the airport, which lead to some strife with Aidan, Wyatt and his ex-wife Kathy (Rosemarie DeWitt) on their ride back home. Still, Aidan made his way to New York City, and promptly revealed to Carrie that he slept with Kathy, which stunned Carrie... though her reaction stunned fans more, just a week after Cynthia Nixon stunned fans with her full-frontal nudity. She ultimately forgave him, almost immediately, which lead to an awkward conversation about the scope of their relationship. It also lead to fans taking to social media to immediately bash the show and its writers, with some even alleging this show has 'ruined' the once-beloved characters from the original HBO series, Sex and the City. Aidan's Manhattan arrival got off to a weird start, when he, for some reason, decided to throw a pebble at the window to get Carrie's attention. When that didn't work, he threw the small rock harder, which naturally lead to the window breaking. Aidan said he could get someone to replace the glass, but she insists the glass is 'really delicate and wavy' and it 'makes rainbows when the sun hits it in a certain way,' leading Aidan to admit nothing is going his way. He admitted that Wyatt wouldn't get on the airplane, and changed his mind at the gate but they insisted that he would go. He would insist on driving to Scranton, Pennsylvania to find antique glass to replace the window, but when he got back, Aidan dropped a bombshell: he slept with Kathy. 'After the airport, she was just so upset and, I mean, we both were. I guess we were just trying to comfort each other. It just happened, and it was a mistake, honey, we both said so, and it will never, ever happen again, it just won't,' Aidan said. Carrie was clearly distraught, but she admitted that she understood, 'how that could happen,' as he apologized for betraying her. That seemed to confuse Carrie more, as Aidan admitted, 'We agreed to wait for each other and I slept with someone else,' though Carrie says, 'Well, I didn't agree to that.' He would insist on driving to Scranton, Pennsylvania to find antique glass to replace the window, but when he got back, Aidan dropped a bombshell: he slept with Kathy She says she agreed that she would be there waiting when he was ready, adding, 'You expected me not to sleep with anyone else for five years?' Aidan insists he agreed to it but Carrie said even he couldn't do it, as Aidan admitted he, 'broke our trust,' which sent Carrie's mind racing. She said she had a hard time understanding how they never had this conversation, though she admitted she didn't want to sleep with anyone else and she still wants to sleep with him, as they ended up in bed that night. Still, fans were furious about the scene and their relationship as a whole, with some like @droosion insisting this season has 'ruined all of these characters.' 'What Carrie has become to Aidan…they've ruined all of these characters and I've tried to stay positive but it's bad,' the X user admitted. Socially Staci J (@SocialBride26) said, 'Carrie and Aidan's storyline isn't even interesting. It's simply irritating. In no world, would Carrie be okay with Aidan sleeping with an ex wife he still shares land with. End it. Please.' Many others were calling for Carrie and Aidan's relationship to be over like @DerekPlease, who said, 'Aidan is such a d-bag man child cliché, and a fair-weather boyfriend. The writers and show-runners are not even trying to hide it with his nighttime routine. I'm actually happy the writers are in on the joke that is Aidan Shaw.' Veronica Altimari (@VAltimari) said, 'The way I actually GASPED #AJLT GTFO Aiden!!! I hate this mfer so much. What are we doing here?! He needs to GO for good. But for the first time this season, this episode made me laugh and well up because of the LTW storyline. Her MIL for the win.'

No chemistry and Aiden is a selfish jerk with 1 asshole of a kid (the other two seem lovely).' Another X user dubbed @dmvrebuild added, 'Chile please.. Aiden and Carrie… end this already #AndJustLikeThat.' Sassypants (@lucysmom83) said, 'Carrie and Aiden lost the magic.

This isn't going to work,' while @sagevalentine said, 'Break up with him please!' Another X user dubbed @dmvrebuild added, 'Chile please.. Aiden and Carrie… end this already #AndJustLikeThat.' Elsewhere in the episode, Carrie agreed to read to swap first chapters with her downstairs neighbor, Duncan Reeves (Jonathan Cake) while Lisa (Nicole Ari Parker) learned her beloved father (Billy Dee Williams) had passed away. Jennifer Lewis guest-starred as Lisa's father's partner at the theater he helped run, who put together an unorthodox funeral. Meanwhile, Seema (Sarita Choudhury) found the perfect apartment for Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Miranda's son Brady (Niall Cunningham) meets her new girlfriend Joy (Dolly Wells) and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) finally tells Carrie that her husband Harry (Evan Handler) has prostate cancer and breaks down in tears.

56 Thoughts I Had While Watching And Just Like That… Season 3, Episode 6
Okay, this particular episode of And Just Like That… was definitely more action-packed than the last one, but I have to admit that it left me with a few more questions than answers, particularly when it comes to the ongoing saga of Carrie Bradshaw and Aidan Shaw (who, if you ask me, need to let go of the past and accept that their best days as a couple are behind them, but famously, nobody is asking me!). Below, find literally every thought I had about the sixth episode of Season 3 of And Just Like That…: Is Carrie reading her fiction to her hot, angry neighbor? In the rain, no less? While they eat stew? Mutton, no less? If I were Aidan, I would be pissed, but then again, he's in Virginia and won't let Carrie talk to him or whatever, so maybe he deserves what he gets. Oh, and they're trading chapters? Damn. Miranda opening her heart to Joy's weird little dogs? I love to see it. BITSY VON MUFFLING? In the flesh! I love how this woman is one step ahead of Charlotte on marriage, fertility, and now…cancer care. 'You're always so busy, socially.' Drag her, Char! Aw, Seema without her company car? Not something that would normally engender empathy in me, but I really can't see this queen on the subway. Aw, this apartment Miranda wants is so cute! Seema really gets the job done. Love this little infusion of Cynthia Nixon's class politics into Miranda's apartment hunt. This whole Harry-cancer storyline is bumming me out, which I guess is by design. Carrie with the fishtail braid! Go off. I kind of can't believe Miranda is introducing her son to Joy before Carrie, TBH. NO MORE LISA EDITING PLOTLINE. I QUIT. SHE IS MORE INTERESTING THAN THIS! I will say that her new editor Marion really is hot, though. Aidan shattering Carrie's window while trying to romantically throw stones…is this a sign? Break up with him, girl! That glass was irreplaceable! Apparently! Oh, shit, Marion is married-ion? Sorry, that was not my best pun. Oh no, Lisa's dad died :( Wow, I want to be Harry Goldenblatt watching baseball with my beer, my dog, and my hot wife by my side. Remember when they broke up (for a minute) because he wouldn't stop watching the Yankees during Shabbat? Aw, Aidan working so hard to replace Carrie's broken glass is sweet, even though I officially Do Not Believe in this relationship. Wow, here's a Post-It to rival 'I'm sorry, I can't, don't hate me': 'Gone to Scranton, back later.' Who taught Carrie the word 'triggered'? Wow, Bitsy in all orange. I love it. JENIFER LEWIS! Miranda, this lesbian dog does not like you. Get over it. Aw, the 'girlfriend' convo! And Brady and Joy are getting along! How many clumsy metaphors is it going to take for Carrie and Aidan to break the fuck up? For good, this time? AHH! Aidan slept with Kathy! After dropping their troubled son off at wilderness camp?!? Hoo, boy, I guess I don't have too much longer to wait for that for-good breakup. Then again, Carrie famously cheated with Big, and Aidan gave her another shot… Then again, again, he was super-mean to her after that happened until they finally broke up… Wow, she's being very cool about this. Wait, were they not exclusive? Has Carrie been bangin' and we haven't even known about it? I feel insane right now. So now Carrie and Aidan are having sex? Were they even doing that before? Aw, Lisa's funeral hat is kind of amazing. Carrie and Aidan are being awfully giggly for a funeral, no? Oh, wow. Musical funeral? Pippin funeral, specifically? Oop, Aidan-vs.-hot-angry-neighbor standoff. Aw, Charlotte is finally confiding in Carrie about Harry's cancer. Sometimes you just have to cry your eyes out while your friend hugs you in a particularly embarrassing CVS aisle.

Aidan's Snub to Carrie in 'And Just Like That' Episode 3 Might Be My Last Straw
Before season 3 of And Just Like That even aired, John Corbett's Aidan was on thin ice. After all, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) got a whole new fancy apartment in Gramercy Park just to be with him without all their on-and-off memories from her old apartment. But, right before she moved in, Aidan broke the news that he wouldn't be joining her just yet. When his youngest son, 14-year-old Wyatt, got into a car accident while under the influence, Aidan knew he had to stay behind in Virginia and be with him. And sure, one could argue that his decision to ask for the five-year break is nothing but honorable, a good guy being a good dad. But doesn't Carrie deserve a little more respect? Or, better yet, a little more commitment? More from SheKnows Carrie & Aidan's Full Relationship Timeline From Sex and The City to And Just Like That Season 3 then started with Carrie and Aidan in limbo, with them sending each other blank postcards and keeping their distance. Then, Aidan called and not-so-subtly asked for phone sex. It was awkward, cringey, and downright confusing for Carrie, who was just getting used to his new rules. In episode 2, when Aidan went back to New York to see her, they seemingly talked it out. 'I was so upset and I think guilty for being up here the night of Wyatt's accident that I went a little overboard,' he said, adding that they can text and rely on each other while he continues to be 'laser-focused' at home. So as episode 3 of the show started, Carrie was finally feeling some resolve, right? Well, not exactly. When she agrees to join a book panel in Virginia, she tells her friends she'll meet Aidan for an 'easy breezy' lunch. But, deep down, all she wants is for Aidan, who we can only assume is her long-distance boyfriend at this point, to ask her to stay over. After she wallows over it all episode, Aidan finally invites her over. 'I'm so sorry, this is a lot of trouble to go through for lunch,' Carrie says when they meet. 'Yeah, it is, so why not stay for dinner too? And a light breakfast!' But, before Aidan and Carrie fans start celebrating, even his sleepover request takes a turn. 'So listen, I didn't get a chance to tell the boys you were coming,' Aidan tells Carrie when they get to his house. As a reminder, Aidan has three sons, with the youngest being Wyatt. 'But it's okay that I'm here?' she asks, feeling understandably uninvited. 'Yes, but we've got this thing now where the night before we lay out what the next day's gonna be,' he explains. 'And you don't want to like, spring me on them?' Carrie asks. 'No, but yeah, kind of,' he says. Instinctively, Carrie's frustrated, but she jokes it off. 'Understood, so should I just sleep in a field, staying up like a horse?' she says. 'That's what they do, right?' 'Guesthouse,' Aidan then replies. 'Neat as a pin.' Seriously?! As they get out of the truck, Aidan tries to make up for the request. 'I'm so glad you're here,' he says. 'Huh, you have a funny way of showing it,' Carrie says, before he gives her a big ol' kiss. In the final scene of the episode, Carrie is then sitting alone in Aidan's guesthouse bed (no, Aidan didn't join her), writing on her laptop. Whether you were a longtime fan of Aidan and Carrie or not, it's safe to say their recent chapters were a little too bumpy. After all, after he asked for a five-year break to take care of his family, he was the one who gave nothing but mixed signals by asking for phone sex and surprising her with a visit. And now that Carrie's feeling that she can approach him again, he's exiled her to his guesthouse after she traveled all the way to Virginia. Is getting on a flight not enough to get to the main house? From the looks of it, Carrie's still determined to make it work and has already forgiven him by the time she goes to bed. But will her fans do the same?Best of SheKnows Every Single Time Kate Middleton's Royal Fashion Made Us Stop in Our Tracks Ariana Madix, Kristen Stewart, & More Stars Who Had Dramatic Hair Changes Which One of Donald's Trump's Kids Has The Highest Net Worth?
