Aidan Shaw, the beloved character from “Sex and the City,” has made a triumphant return in the season two revival, “…And Just Like That.” Fans were reintroduced to Aidan when Carrie Bradshaw encountered him in Abu Dhabi during the events of “Sex and the City 2.” Let’s take a closer look at the timeline of their relationship, spanning from the original series to the most recent episodes of “And Just Like That.”
Season two, episode eight of “…And Just Like That” sees Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, declaring a fresh start with her former love, Aidan Shaw, portrayed by John Corbett. This marks a significant turning point in their fictional rollercoaster romance that began over two decades ago in “Sex and the City.”
Carrie first encounters Aidan in season three, episode five of the original series. At the time, Carrie is struggling to recover from the news that her ex-lover, Mr. Big, has married Natasha. Her friend Stanford shows her a picture of Aidan in the newspaper, piquing her interest. She visits his furniture shop and buys a chair, but lies about her smoking habit to avoid any dealbreakers. Eventually, she decides to quit smoking to pursue a relationship with Aidan.
Aidan’s approach to intimacy sets him apart from Carrie’s previous partners. He insists on taking things slow, refusing to have sex with her early on. This cautious approach initially surprises Carrie, who is used to more impulsive relationships. However, their connection deepens over time, and they start a sexual relationship in season three, episode six. As their relationship progresses, Carrie becomes apprehensive about meeting Aidan’s parents, creating a new challenge for their romance.
Carrie’s lingering feelings for Mr. Big complicate her relationship with Aidan. When she reconnects with Big and learns about the unhappiness in his marriage, she embarks on an affair with him in season six, episode nine. This affair continues while Aidan is out of town. When Aidan returns, Carrie confesses the affair before Charlotte’s wedding, leading to their breakup.
In season four, Aidan reenters Carrie’s life when he opens a bar with Steve. The couple decides to give their relationship another chance, and Aidan moves into Carrie’s apartment. However, the past continues to haunt them, with Carrie’s affair and friendship with Big causing tension. Carrie also struggles to merge her life with Aidan’s on multiple levels. The pressure of their impending wedding becomes overwhelming for Carrie, and her panic intensifies during a wedding dress shopping trip with her friend Miranda. They ultimately break up in season four, episode 15 due to Carrie’s unresolved issues and Aidan’s lack of trust.
In the season six premiere, Carrie runs into Aidan again and learns he has married another furniture designer named Kathy and has children. Despite being married, Aidan and Carrie share a passionate kiss when they meet in Abu Dhabi while Carrie is questioning her marriage to Big.
In the latest season of “…And Just Like That,” Aidan and Carrie reconnect through a series of unexpected emails. They make plans for Valentine’s Day, and Aidan, now divorced, initially hesitates because of the painful memories associated with Carrie’s old apartment. However, they decide to create new memories, spending time together in hotels and at the homes of their friends. In episode eight, Carrie declares her intent to start afresh with Aidan and reveals that she has visited his farmhouse and is ready to meet his teenage sons.
New episodes of “…And Just Like That” are released every Thursday on Max. Fans of the show can continue to follow the evolving relationship between Carrie and Aidan as they navigate the complexities of love and life in the vibrant city of New York.
