Are you team Mr. Big or Aidan? Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell settles debate

[ad_1]

It’s the long-time burning question every Sex And The City fan has been asking: ‘Are you Team Aidan or Team Big?’

Author Candace Bushnell, who penned the bestselling book that the hugely successful series starring Sarah Jessica Parker was based on, sent fans into a frenzy when she declared she was neither Team Aidan or Team Big after the show’s stars have been grilled about the same topic for years.

Aidan Shaw was Carrie’s furniture maker boyfriend who she first starts dating in season three, but then she subsequently cheats on him with Mr Big, her long-time off-and-on-again partner and eventual husband.

However, when it comes to the boyfriend characters that appear in the hit series, Bushnell admits that she wouldn’t choose Aidan or Big, admitting that whenever she is grilled about which ‘team’ she’s on – she ‘loudly proclaims her love’ for Charlotte York’s husband, divorce lawyer Harry Goldenblatt.

Bushnell shared her preference in a tweet on Wednesday.

‘When people ask me if I’m Team Big or Team Aidan, I loudly proclaim my love for Harry Goldenblatt,’ she wrote.

‘Not to be dramatic but I needed to hear this today,’ another added.

‘Harry has always been my favorite. No contest,’ a third social media user added.

But others said there should be another name in the debate: Steve Brady, the long-suffering baby daddy of Miranda.

SATC fans were treated to a controversial revival last year with And Just Like That…, minus original cast member Samantha, played by Kim Cattrall.

In lieu of Cattrall’s Samantha, the show introduced a host of new characters including Sarah Ramirez (Che Diaz), Nicole Ari Parker (Lisa Todd Wedley), Karen Pittman (Dr. Nya Wallace), and Sarita Chouhdury (Seema Patell). 

A second season of the HBO Max series has been announced, despite its lackluster reviews.

‘I am delighted and excited to tell more stories about these vibrant, bold characters — played by these powerful, amazing actors,’ executive producer Michael Patrick King said in a statement back in March.

‘The fact is, we’re all thrilled. And Just like That… our Sex life is back.’

The launch of the reboot was initially met with poor reviews and a mixed reaction from die-hard fans

One review from The New York Times, claimed the ‘cringey’ series has ‘lost its touch,’ with writer James Poniewozik claiming that it felt more like two shows than one – one that he called a ‘downer’ and the other that he described as a ‘painful’ attempt to update the original show.

‘One, which tries to grow with the women as they navigate their 50s and mortality, is a downer, but it takes risks and in moments is very good,’ he wrote.

‘The other, which tries to update its sassy turn-of-the-century sensibility for an era of diversity, is painful.’
