Sex and the City Revival Features Character Death, Sparks Continuity Debate

The HBO series "And Just Like That," a revival of "Sex and the City," has sparked fan criticism for a continuity error involving the character Lisa Todd Wexley's father, who appears to have been killed off twice across seasons. Fans pointed out that Lisa referred to her father as already deceased in Season 1, yet he was introduced as a living character in Season 2, only to be killed off again in Season 3's episode "Silent Mode." HBO representatives have responded by clarifying that the father who died in Season 1 was a stepfather. Meanwhile, Season 3 also revisits key storylines from the original series, including Carrie Bradshaw's complicated romance with Aidan Shaw, who confesses to cheating on Carrie, echoing their past troubles but with reversed roles. Additionally, the episode "Silent Mode" features a poignant storyline for Lisa, centering on the death of her father Lawrence, which provides Nicole Ari Parker a significant emotional arc and highlights the show's focus on deeper character development amid the friends' lives in their 50s. The season also recalls Charlotte York and Harry's divisive Mets storyline from the original series, linking past and present narratives.
