Kristin Davis, beloved for her role as Charlotte York in the iconic series Sex and the City, recently opened up about a storyline she absolutely disliked during a podcast episode. In her show, “Are You a Charlotte?”, she recounted her strong aversion to a food poisoning scene featuring her character and her husband Harry, bringing laughter and surprise to fans of the series.
Reflecting on a Difficult Scene
On March 13th, during a lively discussion on her podcast, Davis recalled her unsuccessful efforts to convince the show’s writers to cut out a particularly uncomfortable moment. In this memorable season six episode, Charlotte and Harry find themselves seriously ill after what was meant to be a romantic dinner in Paris, showcasing their misadventures with French cuisine—specifically, some extravagant cheeses that led to a regrettable outcome.
The Writers’ Viewpoint
Despite her protests, the writers, Elisa Zuritsky and Julia Rottenberg, chose to keep the scene, believing that its comedic potential would resonate with audiences. They were inspired by real-life experiences, believing that sharing relatable stories about food mishaps could add humor, even if it didn’t sit well with all the actors involved. Davis humorously mentioned how her discomfort was heightened during the filming of the bathroom scenes with her co-star Evan Handler, indicating that laughing along was far from easy given the circumstances.
