S9 E6 Sex and the City Extra Sugar: Before Manhattan…

We’re rounding out our time in NYC and our time with the SATC universe. Which means it would be totally irresponsible for us to miss the opportunity to talk a little bit about the actors behind the characters. 

But you know we can’t do just a strict autobiographical look at each actor - that would be too easy (and too not-competitive!) Instead, we’ll do three things: 1.) Nikki is going to tell Salina a little bit about an actor and we’ll see if she can guess who it is. 2.) Then, she’s going to give Salina insight into a person and Salina will tell us whether it was the character or the actor. And 3.) We’ll expand the universe a bit. We’ve talked a lot about the main characters of the show, but, as we’ve touched on throughout the series, there’s soooooo many more people behind the scenes. Let’s imagine a few scenarios where we are missing these important pieces of the puzzle and predict the “Butterfly Effect” of them missing. If we lose them, what else do we lose from the show? Just stick with us; it’ll make sense. Or, maybe it won’t, but we’ll at least chuckle along the way.

And here are some of our behind-the-scenes resources (potential spoilesies, though, if you read this before the segment! You’ve been warned!)
