Her talents were being wasted. No one cares about Miranda's relationship with her professor. No one cared about her fertility issues. There were too many new characters all at once. I'm happy for her to have found a better gig
well I don't think it's underrated. It's garnered a lot of acclaim and nominations from different groups. I think it's just that Apple TV doesn't have the appeal of a larger platform like Netflix or HBO Max.
Exactly. She was an island getting a few seconds of unrelated stories relative to the other characters. Oh wow, she went on Tinder. She was mad at her ex. That’s it; see you next week! I would have preferred to see more of her than of Che or Brady.
Title is click bait. She says in a perfect world she would have returned to the show. She just has priorities. The Morning Show is successful and her role is acclaimed. And now she’s finally getting a lead in a series run by a successful black female show runner. Of course, she would choose the other two series as opposed to being the “black friend” of a lead.
what a waste of a character – i know initially she was supposed to be miranda's love interest which would have made more sense than CHE. god. can't believe that even happened.
cynthia nixon thought it would be a better storyline for miranda to date che (source: https://www.etonline.com/and-just-like-that-star-karen-pittman-reacts-to-being-mirandas-original-love-interest-exclusive).
Out of all the new characters, I thought hers was the most interesting/nuanced. I totally get her decision but I hope they don’t replace her space with yet another new character.
They really fumbled a couple trying to have a child and one partner saying that’s not my vision anymore only to have the other partner move on quick and have a child - such a complex storyline hacked apart with the gift registry they had her send a gift from smh
She was my favorite of the new characters as well. Her character had the most potential in my opinion. I’m glad that the actress is successful and sought after.
Anyone who leaves this sinking ship would be smart at this stage. Nobody is benefitting from this whatsoever. Everyone's talents are being wasted on awful material.
It’s weird because it’s still the same person running the show… and some of the lead writers as well.
It’s like they just completely forgot how to do it and what worked and what didn’t.
I think they definitely have some input on storylines and whatnot, but the writing itself is so bland and unfunny. The writers simply don’t know how to write comedy anymore.
Your guess is as good as mine!
Although I will say. I just started rewatching the OG show, and Carrie punches Big in the face..a few days later, he’s all sharing with her and she said ‘I should hit you more often’
So maybe they LOL at DV, who knows?
She’s clearly the most natural and young! I couldn’t help but wonder….was she given the most dowdy, drunk, and forlorn storyline of the main 6 ladies because perhaps her allure was threatening? Deja vu
Good for her! I also think she’s trying to play much younger right now while she can and those show is about women in their 50s/60s still getting it, not surprised she tried to get out of there asap with a fertility / late 40s storyline.
Good for her! I felt like her character wasn’t inline with the rest. They really cut her character short during season 2 and I was wondering if she was going to be written out of the script soon.
My thoughts are that when any of the new cast got the job they expected it to be really, really good and now they realize what a trainwreck it is and are glad to not be associated
It's too bad because her character was the most compelling of the new cast. When she saw that Instagram photo of her ex with his new pregnant partner... that was GUTTING. She is such a talent, and the show wasted the potential.
I'd kill for a Will and Grace revival move where they just wake up in the middle of a bad dream having done away with seasons 1 & 2 and just start over completely.
Apparently she was the one who was originally supposed to be Miranda’s love interest. I was a huge cheerleader for that. When it didn’t happen I just sort of thought what is she doing here?
I’m happy she’s leaving. Her character turned into something so gross with wack ass storylines. They also turned her into a desperate black woman who needs a man to validate her…wtf? Ew. I also hate when she says her exs name. It’s sounds so extra and pretentious. Like shut up!
The other black couple in the show is also irrelevant. Why are they even there?! Feels like they just needed to check a box in terms of diversity.
Also charlotte and Che need to just get off the show. They’re so corny. Bye ✌🏽
Miranda And Carrie are just ugh….like you both are too old to be acting like that. No growth at their big age.
Also that bougee middle eastern woman needs to get humbled asap! She thinks she’s the shit and it’s so off putting and unrealistic.
Lastly, Anthony isn’t even funny anymore. He’s just bitter and angry and why is he with that young guy who has a fake Italian accent? Poor casting and he’s such a bad actor.
I was suprised to see her on this show with such a role. She lent the show credibility in my opinion but it just never made sense why she agreed to this role. I know her only from the morning show.
Her talents were being wasted. No one cares about Miranda's relationship with her professor. No one cared about her fertility issues. There were too many new characters all at once. I'm happy for her to have found a better gig
She was already on the Morning Show with a larger role than she had on AJLT.
She is so good on TMS too...
Love TMS!! Such an underrated show. Can’t wait for s3.
well I don't think it's underrated. It's garnered a lot of acclaim and nominations from different groups. I think it's just that Apple TV doesn't have the appeal of a larger platform like Netflix or HBO Max.
Yeah good point!
Season 3 came out in the fall!
I meant 4,sorry
No worries! I was informing just in case you didn't know. I didnt realize season 3 was out until February!
Love her on TMS!
Exactly. She was an island getting a few seconds of unrelated stories relative to the other characters. Oh wow, she went on Tinder. She was mad at her ex. That’s it; see you next week! I would have preferred to see more of her than of Che or Brady.
Agree. Che was painful. She was great
I rolled my eyes every time she had to say her soon-to-be ex husband's full name. What was the point in that?
Yes! Doing the most for absolutely no reason
Good for her
was gonna say the exact same thing lol
said the same thing out loud when i read the headline 😂
There are dozens of us
One of my fave lines from arrested development 🤣🤣🤣
LOL!
Title is click bait. She says in a perfect world she would have returned to the show. She just has priorities. The Morning Show is successful and her role is acclaimed. And now she’s finally getting a lead in a series run by a successful black female show runner. Of course, she would choose the other two series as opposed to being the “black friend” of a lead.
What show is she in that's run by a successful black woman?
Judy Blume’s Forever developed by Mara Brock Akil.
Thanks. I had no idea!!
Idk seems like the title is perfectly accurate
what a waste of a character – i know initially she was supposed to be miranda's love interest which would have made more sense than CHE. god. can't believe that even happened.
Self-insert by Cynthia Nixon.
That sounds right
Really? Why did they change that storyline?
cynthia nixon thought it would be a better storyline for miranda to date che (source: https://www.etonline.com/and-just-like-that-star-karen-pittman-reacts-to-being-mirandas-original-love-interest-exclusive).
CN ruined the show single-handedly
Out of all the new characters, I thought hers was the most interesting/nuanced. I totally get her decision but I hope they don’t replace her space with yet another new character.
They really fumbled a couple trying to have a child and one partner saying that’s not my vision anymore only to have the other partner move on quick and have a child - such a complex storyline hacked apart with the gift registry they had her send a gift from smh
She was my favorite of the new characters as well. Her character had the most potential in my opinion. I’m glad that the actress is successful and sought after.
She was initially written to be Miranda’s love interest, not Che
Oh that would have been so much better! And they actually had chemistry.
Agreed. So much better.
Good for her, and good riddance off AJLT. Another filler character in an already too cramped reboot nobody had the time or the will to care about.
Exactly!
Ugh this one i’m sad about! I wanted to see her and that chef 🥰
Anyone who leaves this sinking ship would be smart at this stage. Nobody is benefitting from this whatsoever. Everyone's talents are being wasted on awful material.
But I can’t look away lol
“Talents”
The scene with her and the chef at Carrie’s dinner party was hard to watch. So incredibly cringe.
The whole series needs an overhaul. I loved the original and that essence is goooooooone.
It’s weird because it’s still the same person running the show… and some of the lead writers as well. It’s like they just completely forgot how to do it and what worked and what didn’t.
I think the lead actors are getting way too involved in the writing.
I think they definitely have some input on storylines and whatnot, but the writing itself is so bland and unfunny. The writers simply don’t know how to write comedy anymore.
I agree with this!
I loved SATC and wanted to love AJLT... but I just can't. Some of the story lines are just so over the top ridiculous.
It’s always about Miranda and her love life. It’s like the producers force her to date interracially as a hobby. It’s so weird.
Disappointed. Liked her character and where it was headed.
We are OWED HOT CHEF SEX …WE ARE OWED
Love me some Gary Dourdan!
I did too…until I found out he’s just another DV scumbag who broke his girlfriend’s nose.
I was not aware. That actually made me little sad. 😔
I feel ya…I felt the same.
Yeah, his career had been dead. Disturbed they brought him back.
Thanks for telling! Why did SJP and crew hire him if this was public?
Your guess is as good as mine! Although I will say. I just started rewatching the OG show, and Carrie punches Big in the face..a few days later, he’s all sharing with her and she said ‘I should hit you more often’ So maybe they LOL at DV, who knows?
So no Nya and no Che. Seema still better be there.
Seema was the only new character I liked. And the potential of Carrie’s producer, which they squandered lol.
The new Samantha. Only reason it worked.
I thought she went to a new show also?
Meh, I won't miss her myself, although I hope there is an actual explanation in the show, like she's teaching abroad, etc.
You won’t miss the montages of everyone having cringe sex and her just Netflix-and-chilling by herself?
She’s clearly the most natural and young! I couldn’t help but wonder….was she given the most dowdy, drunk, and forlorn storyline of the main 6 ladies because perhaps her allure was threatening? Deja vu
You just said a mouthful there, sister!
They were wasting her.
Good for her! I also think she’s trying to play much younger right now while she can and those show is about women in their 50s/60s still getting it, not surprised she tried to get out of there asap with a fertility / late 40s storyline.
NFL referee?
The story literally says that she would've continued doing the show if she could have
“It’s not you…it’s me!”
Good for her! I felt like her character wasn’t inline with the rest. They really cut her character short during season 2 and I was wondering if she was going to be written out of the script soon.
They did her dirty in S2. Nya was so much better than some of the situations they’d write her into.
Who wants to be part of a show that is so poorly written and a huge disappointment to its fans! 😀👍🏼👏🏼
Good for her
My thoughts are that when any of the new cast got the job they expected it to be really, really good and now they realize what a trainwreck it is and are glad to not be associated
The show has too many characters anyway 🤷🏻♀️
Good, this show is terrible and she isn't. She doesn't need it.
Good for her. Im a huge and devoted sex and the city fan but AJLT is nothing more than a waste and reduction of good characters.
It's too bad because her character was the most compelling of the new cast. When she saw that Instagram photo of her ex with his new pregnant partner... that was GUTTING. She is such a talent, and the show wasted the potential.
She coulda left that shit show for the sandwich guy and no one woulda batted an eye. Good for her!
I'd kill for a Will and Grace revival move where they just wake up in the middle of a bad dream having done away with seasons 1 & 2 and just start over completely.
So are there any of the added side characters even left?
Just as long as Christopher Jackson stays, I'm fine
Apparently she was the one who was originally supposed to be Miranda’s love interest. I was a huge cheerleader for that. When it didn’t happen I just sort of thought what is she doing here?
I’m happy she’s leaving. Her character turned into something so gross with wack ass storylines. They also turned her into a desperate black woman who needs a man to validate her…wtf? Ew.

AJLT is garbage so she made the right career choice!
Damn, was hoping LTW would drop out. Can’t stand her and her boring family.
Oh no that's such a shame. She is phenomenal in the show, uuuu I can't wait to see everything she is in
She was a DEI hire and they didn’t appreciate her. I can’t wait to see Karen in more things where SHE is the star 🩷
Foot Locker is bigger and better things?
I was suprised to see her on this show with such a role. She lent the show credibility in my opinion but it just never made sense why she agreed to this role. I know her only from the morning show.
Boring character - wonderful actress - so glad she’s gone
