Is Trey coming back? Sex and the City star Kristin Davis hints her character Charlotte could be 'running into' her ex-husband on And Just Like That
Kristin Davis has revealed that there's a possibility that one of Sex and the City's most beloved ex-husbands could be making a comeback. The 60-year-old was quizzed on what characters she'd like to see appear on the spin off of the iconic 1990s and noughties series, And Just Like That, by Stellar Magazine this week. The actress was quick to name Kyle MacLachlan, who played Trey MacDougal, the husband - and later ex-husband - of her character, Charlotte York. MacLachlan, 66, appeared on Sex And The City between 2000 and 2002. 'I feel like there could be many scenarios where [Trey's return] could work' Kristin explained. 'I feel like in New York, you do run into people from your past pretty frequently.' She added: 'It would totally make sense that Trey and Charlotte would be at the same events or at the same restaurants. 'I don't know if that would be enough for them to explore their relationship but it would be fun to do it, if we could'. Trey and Charlotte had an unhappy marriage, leading to a tense divorce - but through that process, Charlotte met her soulmate, lawyer Harry Goldenblatt, played by Evan Handler, who became her second husband. Handler continues to appear in the spin off And Just Like That as well as starring in both Sex And The City films. The is however one storyline from Sex and the City that Kristen couldn't stand - and even tried to get out of filming it. Davis recalled the plotline during a recent episode of her podcast Are You a Charlotte? She explained that during the sixth season of the show, the script called for York and her on screen husband Handler to come down with a bout of bad food poisoning. The pair were supposed to be out at a fancy dinner, enjoying dishes like French cheese, only for the both of them to then get hit with food poisoning and end up on the toilet. 'I just hated that storyline so much,' Davis admitted on the podcast. Davis disliked it so much that she even went to the episode's writers, Elisa Zuritsky and Julia Rottenberg, and questioned why they had to do this. 'They were like, "It's so funny"' Davis remembered. 'I think it was based on a story where someone went to France and had a similar experience with their decadent cheeses, which we're not used to here,' she continued. 'I didn't like that. I didn't want to lay on the floor of the bathroom with Evan in stained T-shirts. Ick.' However, the two ended up acting out the scene, and it made the cut on the 14th episode of season six. Sex and The City ended that season in 2004, but was revived in 2021 as the ladies returned for a spinoff, called And Just Like That, about life in their 50s. The spinoff stars Sarah Jessica Parker Parker as Carrie Bradshaw, Kristin Davis as Charlotte York, and Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes. Samantha Jones, who was played by Kim Cattrall in the original series, did not participate in the revival. However, it looks like there will be some new characters for fans to look forward to meeting this year, as And Just Like That is set to premiere its third season on HBO sometime this year. During an on-stage talk at the Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia late last year, Parker teased some new additions to the cast. 'There is growth with new faces,' Parker said, per Variety. 'Carrie has a wonderful storyline,' she continued. 'The story takes some big swings and we fold some big ideas into those big swings. Some of the male characters are back, and there are some new men.' She also shared that the third season took over seven months to shoot and involved 'crazy long hours.' 'It feels really big, really robust and exciting,' Parker shared.

‘We've got this idea that you've got to have it all worked out': Kristin Davis on New York, nightclubs and being Charlotte
EXCLUSIVE: Filming in towering heels and a mini dress in a New York City nightclub felt like a homecoming for Kristin Davis. There was a time, of course, when shooting inside one of Manhattan's 'it' bars was a typical day a work for the actor during her six-season TV run (and two films) playing the prim and proper Charlotte York on Sex and the City. Now, as Charlotte, Davis has made her return to a nightclub – this time, on the show's spin-off, And Just Like That… 'Charlotte needs to be more competitive with her younger co-workers – and she tries to keep up with them and goes out at night,' Davis tells Stellar. 'Oh my gosh, it was so funny on the page, and really funny at the shoot because it was very much like the earlier days of Sex and the City. 'I was like, wow, we used to do this [going out] all the time!' Sporting oversized reading glasses, a white Dolce & Gabbana shirt with power shoulders that wouldn't look out of place in Charlotte's wardrobe and with her hair in loose curls, the 60-year-old is speaking to Stellar on Zoom from New York. The mother-of-two has spent most of her career portraying the ultimate New Yorker – and is part of franchise that has been credited for challenging Hollywood's representation of women on and off screen. 'I hope that it's shifting the narrative,' Davis says, of AJLT's depiction of women in their 50s. 'It's hard sometimes when you're in it to be sure about what the impact is or isn't, you know? 'We're helping each other have a louder voice and talking about the fact that we're still here, our lives are still going on. 'And I think if our show can be a part of that, we are here for it.' Davis points to the characters of Charlotte, Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) – and newer additions Seema (Sarita Choudhury) and Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker) – for showing the reality of being a modern woman. 'Why should these characters be perfect? We've got this idea that you've got to have it all worked out. 'Don't we all struggle in life? You never know what the right choice is! This is life. I wish there were more women characters [in Hollywood] like us that could live and search for who they are. 'I continually ask myself, 'what do I really want?' It's rare to find [scripts] where women are able to really search and have options. They are pigeonholed in terms of wife, mother, girlfriend, single.' It's a sentiment shared by Davis' co-star, Nixon. 'Miranda was all about work and she was dating a lot of men, and having a lot of sex with essentially strangers – that has not been my experience,' Nixon tells Stellar. 'She was so cynical, and I am not cynical, I am a very optimistic person. 'I feel like I did, as I sort of got older, I gained some confidence from her outspokenness.' Davis pays tribute to her close friendships with Parker and Nixon, with the trio having worked together for nearly three decades since Sex and the City premiered in 1998. 'I'm a single mum, so my [friendships] are super, super important,' Davis says. 'Life is changing really quickly for all of us, it's hard to keep up. That's the challenge – can you stay open and curious and loving?' With every season of AJLT comes rumours of return appearances from past characters (the return of Samantha Jones, played by Kim Cattrall, in the second season broke the internet). So who would Davis like to see make an appearance? Her answer: Charlotte's ex-husband, Trey MacDougal (played by Kyle MacLachlan). 'I feel like there could be many scenarios where it [Trey's return] could work,' Davis says. 'I feel like in New York, you do run into people from your past pretty frequently. 'It would totally make sense that Trey and Charlotte would be at the same events or at the same restaurants. 'I don't know if that would be enough for them to explore their relationship but it would be fun to do it, if we could?' The third season on And Just Like That... premieres in Australia on Friday, May 30, on Max. New episodes are released weekly.
