Sex and the City fans spot insane blunder in And Just Like That episode
Sex and the City fans are pointing out a glaring continuity error on the spin-off show, And Just Like That, as the show appeared to kill off a character who was already dead.
'My father died this afternoon,' Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker) says in the most recent season three episode. 'He had a stroke out of nowhere.'
The episode, called 'Silent Mode,' also includes his funeral. Observant viewers were quick to point out that in season one, Lisa also talked about her dad dying, reports the New York Post.
After And Just Like That, controversially began by killing off Big (Chris Noth) in season one, Lisa observed Carrie's reaction and told Charlotte, 'I was exactly the same when my father died last year.'
Oddly, season two then introduced her father, played by Billy Dee Williams.
Now, season three has killed him off … seemingly forgetting that he was apparently already dead in season one.
'Did ChatGPT write these episodes?' one viewer wrote.
Another fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter, 'Not And Just Like That killing Lisa Tod Wexley's father twice! @HBO Do you even care? Please pay attention!'
A third viewer wrote, 'sooooooo, lisa's dad was already [dead] on [season] 1 ep 2. I guess he reincarnated for a dinner party lisa hosted in [season] 2. now we're on [season] 3 ep 6 and it's lisa's dad's funeral. cancel 'and just like that' pls. put us outta our misery.'
When the Post reached out to reps for And Just Like That for comment, a source claimed that Lisa's dad who died in season one was a stepfather.
The original Sex and the City followed Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), and her friends Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) through dating adventures in New York City.
And Just Like That follows the friends dealing with life and dating in their '50s – without Samantha, amid behind-the-scenes cast feud rumours, which SJP has denied.
Cattrall did make a brief cameo in season two, and Samantha made an off-screen cameo (via text message) in a recent episode of season three.
Lisa is among the new characters added to the ensemble of And Just Like That, along with Seema Patel (Sarita Choudhury) and Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez), who was fired from the show before season three.
This isn't the first time an HBO show had a high profile continuity error, as Game of Thrones infamously left a coffee cup onscreen in the medieval fantasy show by mistake.

Astronomer HR chief resigns one week after being caught on Coldplay ‘kiss cam'
Astronomer's chief people officer, Kristin Cabot, has resigned a week after being caught on Coldplay's 'kiss cam' in an embrace with former Astronomer chief executive Andy Byron. In statements supplied to numerous media outlets in the United States, including Page Six and TMZ, a spokesperson for the New York-based company confirmed that Cabot, who joined its C-suite in late 2024, is 'no longer with Astronomer' and had 'resigned'. It comes days after Byron, who was appointed Astronomer's chief executive in 2023, resigned from his job leading the AI data orchestration software start-up. How 'Coldplaygate' unfolded It's usually an unremarkable segment of Coldplay's Music of the Spheres concerts, with frontman Chris Martin singing a line or two about the loved-up couples beamed up onto the Jumbotron by the band's 'kiss cam'. But when Byron, who was shown swaying to the music with his arms draped around Cabot at Gillette Stadium on the evening of July 16 (July 17 AEST), and the former HR executive realised they were on-screen, Byron quickly sunk to the floor, out of sight of the camera, while Cabot hid her face in her hands and turned around. 'The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name.' Pete DeJoy, Astronomer interim chief executive Adding fuel to the fire was Martin's wry commentary from the stage, with the Yellow singer saying into the microphone: 'Oh, look at these two ... Either they're having an affair or they're very shy.' Both Byron and Cabot are believed to have been married to other people at the time, and neither Byron nor Cabot has publicly commented on the incident, their exits from Astronomer or the affair allegations. This masthead is not suggesting the allegations of an affair between Byron and Cabot are true, just that they have been made. No one could have predicted the sheer fervour with which the whole world would latch on to the seconds-long moment in Foxborough, Massachusetts that 28-year-old Grace Springer, from New Jersey, shared footage of on TikTok. It's been referenced beyond social media to Oasis concerts, comedy shows, breakfast television and sports games.

Woman at centre of Coldplay kiss cam scandal resigns
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music Tours. Followed categories will be added to My News. The woman at the centre of the Coldplay kiss cam scandal has resigned. Kristin Cabot, who was caught on the jumbotron canoodling with her boss Andy Byron at the UK band's Boston concert last Wednesday, has stepped down as the HR chief at Astronomer, a job she held for less than a year. The New York-based tech company confirmed the news in a statement on Thursday, US time. 'I can confirm that Kristin Cabot is no longer with Astronomer, she has resigned,' a spokesperson for the company told Page Six. It comes days after Byron also resigned from his job as the firm's CEO. 'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' a rep for the tech company said on Saturday. 'Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.'

Picture: LinkedIn After the pair infamously scrambled to hide from the concert kiss cam, and subsequently made headlines around the world, Astronomer announced it was launching a formal investigation into the scandal and placed Cabot and Byron on leave. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin was left bewildered by their actions on the big screen, joking onstage the pair were either 'really shy or having an affair', as details swiftly emerged about their respective marriages. Byron, who is estimated to have a net worth of $A76 million, is married to a woman named Megan Kerrigan Byron, who has since removed his last name from her Facebook and deactivated her social media accounts. She is yet to comment publicly. Megan Kerrigan Byron is married to Astronomer CEO Andy Byron. Picture: Facebook Andy Byron has resigned as CEO of the AI-centric New York firm Astronomer. Picture: Astronomer Cabot, for her part, appears to be married to Privateer Rum's CEO Andrew Cabot, since they share the same last name and are co-owners of the same house in New Hampshire. She divorced her first husband, Kenneth Thornby, in 2022, according to Massachusetts court records. Neither Byron nor Cabot have commented on the affair allegations. Meanwhile, the fate of both their respective marriages remains unknown. Cabot was hired as the company's human resources officer in November 2024, while Byron held the position of CEO from July 2023.
