John Corbett Will Reprise His Role As Aidan In The Second Season Of “And Just Like That…”

August 19, 2022 / Posted by:

Deadline reports that John Corbett will reprise his role as Aidan in the second season of And Just Like That… Since the show killed off Big with a heart attack in the pilot (lucky, considering that Chris Noth turned out to be a massive creep), what do these sadistic writers plan to do with Aidan? Brain aneurysm? Drown him in the Hudson River? A tragic workplace accident where the furniture maker bleeds out from a massive splinter?

Deadline says that Bo Derek’s husband will return for a “substantial, multi-episode arc.” And it’s allegedly for real this time; last year John said that he was going to be in a few episodes of the first season, but it turns out he was totally fucking with them. Later, Sarah Jessica Parker said:

“It was fun. It was fun for him to say that,” she said on Watch What Happens Live this past February. “When he actually reached out, very kindly, because he’s nothing if not a gentleman, and apologized for doing that as a joke, and then I was like, ‘No, no, no, it’s a free country first of all.’ And I thought it was kind of delightful and kind of fun.”

Following the finale, executive producer Michael Patrick King told Deadline that they actually didn’t want Aidan involved in the first season:

“It really just felt like this was a lot for Carrie,” he said. “This season was a lot. We wanted to get her through [Big’s death] and into the light—the last episode is called, ‘Seeing the Light.’ We wanted to get her out. [Aidan’s return] is a big storyline that everybody at home wrote that we had never intended.”

Last time we saw Aidan, it was during the abysmal Sex and the City 2. Somehow, Carrie miraculously ran into him at a market in Abu Dhabi. Later on, they go to dinner, and Aidan reveals he’s still married to some chick named Kathy (CAST BO DEREK) and has three sons. Despite the fact that they’re both married, they kiss, and then Carrie runs away.

In the Season 1 finale of And Just Like That…, Carrie makes out with her podcast boss; a character I hadn’t even bothered committing to memory before that moment. I was actually rooting for the pukey private school teacher, he was hot. But with the announcement of Aidan’s return, it’s pretty much guaranteed that, once again, Carrie’s gonna be fucking her way across the island of Manhattan. Good! Give the gal some modern-day STIs! Have her bang a Gen Z-er who can’t remember 9/11! Let her get catfished by a mysterious hottie on a dating app (and then the twist is, it’s actually Samantha)! I can guarantee that all three of these storylines are better than anything the writers have planned for Season 2…
