Noth said he feels “good” about the plot, adding that the author of both shows “Michael Patrick King is a great craftsman, and I think it may have gone wrong a bit” easy way, you know?”
“He’s in a state that isn’t overly sentimental or pathological,” Noth said. “He’s really happy with how it came together and how the show looked and how it has reinvented itself.”
“It’s all over, and it’s time for him to go, unless we’re going to do ‘Scenes from a Marriage’, ‘Sex and the City’ style,” he added. “There’s nowhere to go with it but six feet underfoot.”
As for the scene when Big’s wife, Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, hugs him instead of calling 911 after he suffers a heart attack after riding his Peloton, Noth feels gratified about that, too.
Noth said: “There’s one thing Michael and I agree on: We both call it the ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ moment, it’s the moment where Bonnie and Clyde are about to get kicked out of the house by bullets.” That look at each other, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, both knew that was the end.”
