If it promotes it, that's great.» One criticism she did address was how fans felt Carrie did nothing to help her husband, Mr.

Big (Chris Noth), in the wake of his heart attack. Fans noted that Carrie could have called 9-1-1 in an attempt to save his life, but instead was shown sitting on the ground holding him while he was still conscious. «I always think of that particular moment… it's a suspended animation, this moment where everything stops,» she explained. «In my head, she struggled through this moment and tried to get him to be responsive and she came to her senses, I'm going to say after about two to three seconds, and then of course she called 9-1-1 and got all the help she needed from professionals.»As for how the show handled the absence of actress Kim Cattrall's character, Samantha Jones, Parker seemed pleased. «I can take no credit to how we handled it except I got to convey the messages since they're not spoken,» she said of the texts between Carrie and Samantha. «But it is Michael Patrick King, who is our showrunner and our head writer, and his extraordinary group of amazingly talented writers.
