Sex and the City left our screens in 2004, and while there's been six seasons, two films and a three part spin-off series, we're still not over it 20 years later.
This month sees And Just Like That release its third season, with Carrie Bradshaw, Charlotte York and Miranda Hobbes officially returning to our screens. And from post-it note break ups to iconic fashion moments (shout out to that £4 SATC tutu), we're all feeling nostalgic for the HBO show's golden years.
One of the most talked-about details is original casting, with two other A-list actresses offered the role of Carrie Bradshaw before Sarah Jessica Parker.
This is also the case for her two big love interests, Mr Big and Aidan Shaw, with the show's producers revealing that the iconic parts were originally supposed to go to two very different A-listers.
In a resurfaced interview with Entertainment Weekly, the show's creator, Darren Star revealed who he originally had in mind for Carrie's love interests, and his surprising revelation is going viral.
"I was thinking of Alec Baldwin for Big initially," Star admitted. "I don't really watch Law & Order, but I met with Chris Noth and thought he was perfect. I remember the first table read, how good he was. I'm not saying that Chris was Mr. Big, but he brought a lot of his own persona to the role."
And Chris wasn't the only actor close to missing out on a role as one of the show's main men, with Darren revealing that the role of Aidan Shaw very almost went to someone else as well.
"We initially were thinking about Aidan Quinn for Aidan, but I think he wasn't available," Star revealed. "I loved John Corbett in Northern Exposure, and we were like, 'Well, what's John Corbett been up to?' He just had the laconic, dudish vibe. But we kept 'Aidan' because we loved the name."
Well, that's the SATC news we weren't expecting.
