Kristin Davis recently disclosed a shelved plot from the series "And Just Like That" that could have seen Charlotte York Goldenblatt crossing paths with her first husband, Trey MacDougal. The potential storyline involved the return of Kyle MacLachlan, who portrayed Trey in the original "Sex and the City" series. This revelation offers fans a glimpse into what might have been in the continuation of Charlotte's story.
The idea of bringing Trey back into Charlotte's life was not just an interesting narrative twist but also an opportunity for Davis to work again with MacLachlan. Davis was cautious about revealing too much, mindful not to upset Michael Patrick King, the show's co-creator and executive producer. Despite her concerns, Davis shared her enthusiasm for the concept, expressing that it would be "amazing" to see MacLachlan reprise his role.
"I'm just gonna tell you guys that there was an idea that that Trey/Kyle would come on 'And Just Like That,' and then it didn't happen." – Kristin Davis
The possibility of Charlotte encountering Trey once more stems from an unfinished feeling she harbors about their relationship. Despite the challenges they faced during their marriage, Davis believes that revisiting Trey would not pose a threat to Charlotte's current marriage with Harry Goldenblatt, played by Evan Handler. She views Trey as a significant part of Charlotte's past, yet acknowledges Harry as her best match.
The character of Trey MacDougal, a cardiologist from a distinguished family, was Charlotte's first husband in the original HBO series. Their union faced several problems, leading to their eventual separation and Charlotte's subsequent marriage to Harry, a lawyer. While their relationship concluded, the idea of an encounter between Charlotte and Trey carried a certain allure for Davis.
Davis even recounted giving MacLachlan a hard time recently, hinting at the playful dynamic between them. Despite the potential impact of this narrative on the series, it ultimately remained unused, leaving fans to wonder about the emotional depth such a storyline could have brought.
"I just wanted it to be amazing, meaning that it had a kind of almost a sad note. I think I'm not saying too much. I hope Michael's not gonna be mad at me. There was a bit of a sad note, but it had this incredible lead up to me seeing Trey again." – Kyle MacLachlan
