Cynthia Nixon Reveals Rosie O'Donnell Was Offered A Role In Every Season Of ‘And Just Like That…' Before Joining Season 3: 'I Think It Was A Good One'
It turns out that Rosie O'Donnell's surprising appearance on And Just Like That… Season 3 was a long time coming. During an appearance on The View, Cynthia Nixon revealed that Michael Patrick King – who serves as the And Just Like That… executive producer, show runner, and chief writer – had written a part for O'Donnell in every season of the spinoff series in the hopes of having her on the show. '[He] had written a part that he was hoping Rosie would do in each of the seasons and it's never worked out yet, but this one worked out. And I think it was a good one,' she explained on The View. She then teased their characters 'meet at a lesbian bar and fun ensues.' Sarah Jessica Parker also praised O'Donnell, adding, 'She was great at the table read. She was so great.' The comedian certainly made a splash in her Season 3 cameo. The season premiere, 'Outlook Good,' shows Miranda hooking up with Mary (O'Donnell) after meeting in a lesbian bar. But Miranda quickly comes to regret her decision after she learns more about Mary. Not only was this a one night stand, but it was actually Mary's first time having sex! On The View, Nixon later addressed why they chose to make her character, Miranda, queer in the spinoff series. 'Michael Patrick King and I had a super brief conversation, like a one-minute conversation,' she revealed. 'It was like, 'We really want the show to be more inclusive than it used to be. We're adding all these queer characters, would you like Miranda to be one?' And I was like, 'Sure why not.'' Nixon also credited the show for being 'so great at exploring' topics like this. 'It felt like a really natural fit. And it's just one thing that our show has always done so brilliantly,' she said. 'It has allowed us, first of all, to age, to not hide the fact that we're aging. But also to evolve and change.' The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.

‘And Just Like That' Season 3 Opens With Miranda Sleeping With A Virgin Nun Named Mary — Played By Rosie O'Donnell!
And Just Like That… Season 3 Episode 1 'Outlook Good' never explains exactly what happened to Miranda's (Cynthia Nixon) former flame, Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez). Rather, the MAX show just drops us back into the lesbian lawyer's dating life. In the first episode of And Just Like That… Season 3, Miranda struggles to connect with anyone at a gay bar until she meets Mary (Rosie O'Donnell). While Mary isn't young or cool, she is absolutely enthralled by Miranda's beauty. Miranda happily decides to hook up with Mary, only to regret her decision later, after she learns more about the out-of-towner… **Spoilers for Season 3 Episode 1 'Outlook Good,' now streaming on MAX** When Miranda wakes up next to Mary in the morning, she's taken aback by how hyped the woman is about their one night stand. Mary then reveals that she literally lost her virginity to Miranda! Miranda, understandably, wonders if this just means this was Mary's first lesbian encounter. But no, Mary isn't just 'Mary from Winnipeg.' Mary is a Catholic nun who has never experienced sex in her entire life! Miranda has rocked this woman's world and spends the rest of the episode avoiding her lovesick texts. Now, most people are probably going to latch onto the sensationalism of Rosie O'Donnell popping into And Just Like That… to play a Canadian nun who loses her virginity to none other than Cynthia Nixon's Miranda Hobbes. Both O'Donnell and Nixon are outspoken 'out' celebrities who seem to make headlines every time they open their mouths. Pairing them up onscreen is noteworthy on its own. However, I'm really more fascinated by what this storyline does in moving Miranda's story forward. And Just Like That… Season 1 introduced us to a Miranda Hobbes in the midst of a mid-life crisis. She was back in school, struggling with an alcohol addiction, and unhappy in her marriage to Steve Brady (David Eigenberg). Everything changed for Miranda when she met Che Diaz. The non-binary comedian awakened something in Miranda she had never felt before. Che also inspired habits that we'd never seen in Miranda before. Most notably, Miranda cheated on Steve with Che in Carrie's kitchen all while Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) was recovering from surgery! (I'm still mad about this plot development simply because the Miranda I knew from Sex and the City would never leave an unwell Carrie in the lurch!) Miranda's infatuation with Che subsequently set off an atomic bomb in her personal life. She left Steve, came out as a lesbian, and began to question all of her life choices. In And Just Like That... Season 2, Miranda followed Che to Los Angeles. We watched Miranda Hobbes — the no-nonsense, career-oriented, high-powered attorney — clean beaches for fun and mope around the house without her Che. Eventually, the pair split up and Miranda returned to New York and slowly reclaimed the qualities we all know as undeniably 'Miranda.' Cut to And Just Like That… Season 3 Episode 1 'Outlook Good.' Miranda is just looking for low stakes sex and winds up fundamentally changing Mary's world. Mary is soon texting Miranda like crazy, begging her to meet up at corny New York tourist spots. Miranda understandably has the ick. Like, most New Yorkers don't want to hit up the Central Park carousel without a kid in tow. However, there's something else at play here: Miranda has to realize she is Mary's Che. When Miranda finally confronts Mary outside the M&M store, she cautions Mary that she shouldn't radically change her life just over one night of hot sex. You can hear her almost going back in time, warning her Season 1 and Season 2 self that her fixation on Che would ultimately fizzle out. What's extraordinary is that Sister Mary immediately makes it clear that's not what's going on for her. The nun is not leaving the church. She's not changing who she is overnight. Rather, Miranda, and New York City, have given Mary a glimpse of the life she could have had. She's thankful for the experience and simply wants to express that to Miranda. Again, And Just Like That… never tells us what happened to Che Diaz. The controversial character was simply written off the show. And yet, Miranda's experience with Mary seems to tie a bow on the whole Che Diaz saga. Miranda was Mary once, living decades of her life unable to fully explore her sexuality. Che gave Miranda that opportunity. Che helped Miranda find her truest, happiest self. Regardless of how you feel about Che Diaz, the character served an important role in the overall Sex and the City saga. Because of them, Miranda is now able to pursue joy and romance in a way she couldn't before. Sister Mary is happily returning to her life as a nun in Winnipeg knowing the ecstasy of real passion thanks to Miranda and Miranda is returning to her life as a hot single lawyer searching for sex in the city thanks to Che Diaz.

Tracking the NYC Restaurants in ‘And Just Like That...' Season 3, Episode 2
And just like that, HBO Max's Sex and the City sequel series returns for its third season. And Just Like That... brings back our long-time New Yorkers Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte (Kristin Davis), as well as relative newcomers Seema (Sarita Choudhury) and Lisa (Nicole Ari Parker), to our televisions and laptops. What is summer without our gals talking candidly about sex, making bad puns, and dining and drinking around the city? Like previous seasons, Eater will be tracking where the gang is eating across New York City, from brunch sessions to romantic dinners to cocktail dates. This guide will be updated weekly when each episode airs on Thursdays at 9 p.m., leading up to the finale. And we're saying it now: there will be spoilers ahead. Episode 2, 'Outlook Good' Welcome to New Rat City, Carrie Bradshaw. Her idyllic Gramercy Park townhouse garden is overrun by the truest of New Yorkers — rats! Miranda discovers the joys of bad reality dating shows, and Seema's dealing with a parade of bad dates. Anthony is fulfilling his dream of opening a physical Hot Fellas bakery, or as he too obviously calls it, a 'dick-and-mortar.' It looks cute, with a counter, baked goods on display, tiled walls, lots of blues, and bread-shaped scones and door handles. (The production team didn't use an existing bakery for the filming — rather, they took over an empty storefront on the corner of East 88th Street and Madison Avenue.) Jac's on Bond 26 Bond Street, near Lafayette Street, Noho The episode begins with Carrie meeting with her former neighbor Lisette, who bought her longtime Upper East Side apartment at the cocktail bar. Lisette preemptively orders them both gimlets. 'I made a bold choice,' she explains. Lisette gifts Carrie a necklace with her old key and street address while they chat about dating in the city. Rosa Mexicano 61 Columbus Avenue at West 62nd Street, Lincoln Square The Upper West Side location of the Mexican mini-chain is a major set piece for this episode. In the first scene, Carrie, Miranda, and Seema are seated in the main dining room with chips and salsa for the group. A server comes over to make them tableside guacamole; she chimes in during Miranda's discussion of dating reality show Bi Island, and Miranda falls in love. Later on, Carrie and Miranda are back at the restaurant — Carrie is Miranda's 'guacamole beard' while Miranda flirts with the same staffer. 'I predict a very bright future for you,' Carrie says, 'Your combined good cholesterol will be through the roof.' They're seated next to the stunning blue-tiled waterfall wall. They order the guacamole again made by the same server, but alas, it turns out she's not interested in dating Miranda. Carrie also sends a voice text to Aidan while standing in the restaurant's beautiful bathroom. (Rosa Mexicana is planning on shuttering this Lincoln Square location to reopen nearby inside the Empire Hotel on West 63rd Street at some point this year. Le B 283 West 12th Street at West Fourth Street, Greenwich Village Seema goes on a series of bad dates at the luxe restaurant, where she and the lackluster men sit at the best seats at the bar — the corner. She disses one date who she assumes will ask to split the check by summing up the experience: 'Drinks: 30 dollars; telling you to go shove it: priceless.' Amazing. Tatiana 10 Lincoln Center Plaza, at West 65th Street and Ninth Avenue, Lincoln Square Seema goes on what she assumes is a date set up by her coworker at the upscale Afro-Caribbean restaurant. But it turns out to be a matchmaker meeting with Sydney, played by the delightful Cheri Oteri. (Maybe matchmaking in New York City is in the air: director Celine Song's new movie Materialists , which comes out on Friday, June 13, centers on a matchmaker in Manhattan.) Sydney showcases how good she is at reading people by ordering for Seema: 'salmon tartare, wasabi vinaigrette on the side, extra avocado, and hold the scallions.' Seema agrees it's the right choice. For herself, she gets the crispy artichoke and a martini (none of these are served at Tatiana actually). Bottino 246 Tenth Avenue, near West 24th Street, Chelsea For Seema's attempt to act like an appealing woman for the sake of a man, she goes on a date in the pretty garden patio of the Italian restaurant. They're eating pasta and drinking red wine; later, the guy orders two tiramisus, but Seema has had enough. 'I hated the cabernet you chose, and the tiramisu is tired,' she says, admitting that this isn't who she really is. He claims to still be into the date, but then ditches her, leaving Sydney to pop up out of nowhere to finish the dessert. And just like that (sorry, sorry), we're ready for next week's episode. Episode 1, 'Outlook Good' Goodbye, Carrie's brownstone that's actually in the West Village but masquerades as the Upper East Side; hello, new Gramercy Park townhouse. Last season, Carrie sold her iconic studio to buy and move into a large building along the park for herself and her cute kitty Shoe. Carrie and Aidan are in an ambiguous not-being-together-for-now situation as he lives in Virginia. Miranda's now back in New York and single. Motel No Tell 210 Avenue A, at East 13th Street, East Village Of course, a queer bar decked out with neon and a disco ball would be blasting Chappell Roan's 'Hot to Go!' This East Village bar is standing in for a 'lady bar,' as Miranda describes to Carrie and Charlotte, thanking them for accompanying her on a night out of trying to score a date. Now, she's a non-alcoholic drinker, but laments her $37 mocktail tabs, and later orders a Phony Negroni. A couple of scenes later, we're back at the bar: it's closing time and Miranda is alone. But she meets Mary (played by Rosie O'Donnell), a Canadian visiting the city. They end up going to her hotel room together. (In real life, Motel No Tell is celebrating its television appearance by offering a cocktail special for the summer: the Lady Pond is made with vodka, orange, vermouth, cranberry, lime, and apple shrub, for $16.) Tavern on the Green West 67th Street and Central Park West, Upper West Side Okay, the iconic Central Park restaurant isn't actually seen on the show, but it's the butt of a joke. Miranda recaps her hookup to Carrie, explaining that she turned out to be a nun who really wanted to take her to Tavern on the Green, saying 'she doesn't know, it's her first trip to New York.' Carrie is aghast: 'I don't know which is worse: that you slept with a nun or a tourist.' Jean-Georges 1 Central Park West, between Columbus Circle and West 61st Street, Lincoln Square Another talked-about but never-seen restaurant. Seema's Marvel director boyfriend Ravis is back from filming in Egypt and tells her he booked lunch at the French tasting menu restaurant. But before that, his film crew has to scout locations in Red Hook, which makes him late for their 1 p.m. reservation. He pushes it back to dinner, and the group eats cooler sandwiches on the pier. But of course, they miss their dinner, and Seema breaks it off. 'I don't do vans or Cool Ranch potato chips, but I did try,' she says. Red Rooster 310 Lenox Avenue, at West 126th Street, Harlem Lisa is tasked with throwing a last-minute cocktail reception for her husband Herbert to make him look cool for his political campaign running for city comptroller. So what's cooler than the celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson's comfort food flagship? The dining room is full — Lisa tells the girls that they should 'eat everything' and that 'the fritters are no joke.' The tables are laden with fried chicken and sandwiches, and the event ends with Carrie and Miranda eating some sort of pudding-like dessert out of little mugs. Sign up for our newsletter.

Miranda sleeps with virgin nun Rosie O'Donnell on 'And Just Like That' Season 3 premiere
And just like that, Miranda Hobbes has found a new love interest. After Season 2 of 'And Just Like That…' saw the romance between Cynthia Nixon's character and Sara Ramirez's Che Diaz fizzle out, Season 3, which premiered on Thursday, started off with bang for the New York City master's student. Season 3 episode 1, titled 'Outlook Good,' featured a guest appearance from Rosie O'Donnell, 63, who played a virgin nun named Mary. The pair meet at a lesbian bar, before heading back to Mary's hotel room where they then have sex. Advertisement 7 'And Just Like That…' Season 3 premiere. HBO Mary is visiting the Big Apple from 'a small town outside of Winnipeg, Dunnottar,' and works for 'Compassion of the Unhoused.' Although she never discloses to Miranda that she is in fact a nun. Advertisement Later in the episode, Mary and Miranda wake up in bed, with the nun telling her counterpart: 'I've never experienced anything like that. Oh, you are really, really something.' 7 Rosie O'Donnell in 'And Just Like That…' Season 3 premiere. HBO 'It felt so, I don't know, electric, and yet, still so natural,' Mary continues. 'I never dreamed my first time could be both those things.' After hearing those details, Miranda turns to Mary and inquires: 'First time? So then, this was your first time with a woman?' to which her new friend shockingly replies, 'This is my first time with anyone. I'm a virgin. Well, I was a virgin.' Advertisement 'Yes,' she adds, 'I'm a nun.' 7 Rosie O'Donnell in 'And Just Like That…' Season 3 premiere. HBO Miranda later tells Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) what went down. 'In my defense, Mary never mentioned she was a nun,' the former lawyer stated. 'And she was dressed like a regular lesbian… In fact, she didn't mention it until right after she told me she was a virgin.' Advertisement 'So, you deflowered the Virgin Mary?' Carrie responded. Carrie had her own wild sex story herself. In one cringey scene, she and long distance boyfriend Aidan (John Corbett) have phone sex. As he sits in his car in Virginia, she is distracted by her cat back in Manhattan. And she inevitably gets interrupted when Aidan accidentally hits the horn of his vehicle. 'My goodness,' Carrie says. Later on, over cocktails, Carrie admits that she faked it. 'And now I feel dishonest,' she sighed. 7 Cynthia Nixon and Rosie O'Donnell in 'And Just Like That..' HBO During the episode, Mary continues to text Miranda to meet up until Miranda finally shuts it down for good. After O'Donnell's cameo, fans took to social media to react to her guest star role alongside Nixon, 59. One social media user wrote on X, 'omfg, miranda finally comes out as a lesbian and her first pickup is rosie o'donnell as a nun, christ, wut,' while a second chimed in, 'Giiiiiirl, Miranda and Rosie O'Donnell was not in my bingo card.' A third person added, 'Really Rosie O'Donell!!!' Advertisement 'I was -not- expecting to see Rosie O'Donnell pop up!' exclaimed another. Nixon previously got candid about Miranda's life post-breakup with Che. 7 Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon from the series 'And Just Like That.' AP 'One of the things that it meant was that Miranda was single again,' she told E! News on Wednesday. 'And that the tensions between Miranda and Che—and also Miranda and Steve—had been quelled and quieted.' Advertisement 'Just speaking for Miranda,' Nixon explained, 'it meant that she was setting out on this new dating world having decided she wanted to date women and non-binary people, but not really quite knowing how to go about that.' Season 3 of the 'Sex and the City' spinoff, which also stars Kristin Davis, Nicole Ari Parker and Sarita Choudhury, will see a slew of guest stars, including Patti LuPone, Logan Marshall Green and 'Law & Order' actor Mehcad Brooks. 7 Season 3 of 'And Just Like That.' HBO Brooks, 44, will have his own love story play out while working opposite Parker, 54. Advertisement He exclusively told The Post about joining the series, 'The part of my personality that will do anything for a laugh that has no place on 'Law & Order,' I get to do it [on this show].' 'One of the highlights of my career is that I get to act across from Nicole Ari Parker,' the star gushed. 'I've known her for 20 years, we've worked together before – but never in this way.' Brooks added, 'She's just a joy to be around, I'm learning so much.' Sharing details about his character, Marion Odin, the 'Desperate Housewives' alum said he is 'an award-winning editor of films and documentaries and kind of a spiritual guy. He's funny and goofy and just the kind of guy who is really helpful and earnest but also will do anything for a laugh.' Advertisement 7 Season 3 'And Just Like That.' HBO Brooks teased: 'That's kind of who I am, anyway.' Without giving too much away, the actor did note that his relationship with Parker's Lisa — who is married — gets 'humorously cloudy.'
