Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) was always Carrie’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) cynical friend, but also the one who led a 180º transformative arc, very different from her friends in Sex and The City.

In the final stage of the series, Carrie finally manages to win over Mr.Big (Chris Noth), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) manages to become a mother (adoptive and biological), and Samantha (Kim Cattrall) maintains her spicy and stable relationship with Smith Jarred. Only Miranda, anti-motherhood and anti-marriage, ended the series married to Steve (David Eigenberg), living in Brooklyn, taking care of her mother-in-law with Alzheimer’s, and leaving a large office to advocate alone in NGOs. Miranda seemed happy and stable, even with a crisis series in the first film, in the second she was satisfied with her life.

Therefore, to our surprise, we find her again in And Just Like That miserable and frustrated with everything, dealing with alcoholism problems and not meeting personally or professionally. Her unexpected crush on Che Diaz (Sarah Ramirez) was – unexpectedly – ​​met with an extremely negative reaction from fans, something many suspect led to Che being cut out of the entire storyline in season three. Really?

From my point of view, Miranda’s problem is the same as Carrie’s. With Big’s death, Carrie spent an entire season in mourning, apathetic and without the hustle and bustle that made her so famous. With that, the lawyer gained a stage where she alone experienced more transformations and at that point the fans liked her with Steve so much that, now, they didn’t want her falling in love again. It wasn’t because she fell in love with another woman, but the fact that we saw her overcome every hardship to be happy with her husband only to be back at square one. Horrible to say, but Miranda did not and does not have the profile to be a protagonist.

In the second season, after they chose to “change” Miranda, we were again bothered by the fact that she was once again in doubt. The relationship with Che fell apart even faster than it started and Steve also fell out of the running. Now we have Miranda, single and released, starting her life over again.

And if people still find it strange, it’s because they don’t follow the actress’s life, because she lived something similar and she is more than satisfied with bringing this reality to the screen. “I’ve gotten a lot more like [Miranda] as I’ve gotten older, and she’s gotten a lot more like me,” Cynthia Nixon told Variety. “It wasn’t anything I was advocating, but smart writers, especially on long-term projects that continue and evolve, try to put as much of the real person into that character as possible, because that’s one of the things that makes television or film or the theater so powerful – when the person playing the role has a personal connection.”

There is a lot of mystery surrounding the outdoor shooting in New York, which is still ongoing. In the first two, it was possible to discover almost everything that would happen, this season, not so much. Yet. But the fact that Miranda is single for the first time in decades will put her in the spotlight once again. And yes, Miranda will have new relationships.

“I feel like our show [And just Like That] always works better when people are dating,” the actress argued in the interview with the magazine, without forgetting to mention Che’s already confirmed departure from the general scene. “I think they felt, and Michael Patrick felt, that Che had run his course. They went in and shook everything up, and then the arc was completed.”

Cynthia also talked about The Gilded Age, but we’ll get to that later, after all, recording for this season starts in just over a month. About Miranda, we can count on her being safer and taking Carrie out of ostracism. We count on her!
