Added DiffLines:

* HappilyMarried: With Charlotte. The two absolutely adore one another and are still very much in love and happy two decades on.


Added DiffLines:

Added DiffLines:

* UglyGuyHotWife: The short, bald and average looking Harry is married to the beautiful Charlotte and very happily so.

* BornUnlucky: Her luck, to put it bluntly, is quite abysmal. Bad things tend to happen to her, sometimes self-inflicted, but usually not. Whether it be sex, romance or even freak accidents like having a stranger ejaculate sperm on her hair during a sex workshop, her general luck is... not great.

* RedheadInGreen: She is a redhaired woman who can be seen in green, in fact the 80s flashback to when Carrie first met her in the 2nd movie shows her with an olive-green power suit.

* {{Workaholic}}: More of an InformedAttribute of Miranda's. She's trying to make partner at her Law Firm (which can be a grueling prospect in real life), while getting into adventures with the girls and raising her son alone for periods. At one point she tries to shorten her work week to 55 billable hours and the other attorneys are aghast (which is a little bit RealityIsUnrealistic because that's still right on Partner track levels of billing). Lawyers who understand the importance of sleep ask for 6-8 a day, which still translates to a good 9 hours spent at work a day.

* TheBusCameBack: After their break-up, Carrie runs into him briefly in 'To Market, to Market', where he is shown to be HappilyMarried and father to a baby son.
** He appears again in the second movie, meeting Carrie in Dubai. [[spoiler: They kiss, though Carrie confesses to Big and returns to him.]]
** And again in ''Series/AndJustLikeThat''. [[spoiler: This time he and Carrie rekindle their romance, though it's complicated by Carrie's relationship with Aidan's children and his aversion to staying in her apartment (a place he still associates with the breakdown of their past relationship).]]

** Special mention goes to the amount of effort she puts into trying to pronounce Aleksandr's name correctly, which is so pathetic it's almost laughable. It seems likely that if Aleksandr wasn't trying to fuck her, he'd want nothing to do with her.

** To be fair, she says in an early episode that it's the responsibility of the man to stay faithful, not the other woman to not show interest, and in the handful of times she ''is'' cheated on, she is angry only with the cheating partner and never blames the other woman.

** She sends Aidan to help Miranda when the latter falls after taking a shower and puts her neck out, while Miranda is ''totally naked''. Later, when she comes around to apologise, she forgets to bring cheese for the bagels and then derails the conversation to complaining that Aidan still hasn't forgiven her for cheating on him.

* BreakTheCutie: Charlotte may come from fine stock, but growing up with such high expectations for yourself makes it that much more difficult when they can't be met. First she discovers, on the eve of her (very expensive) wedding, that her fiancé [[TheLoinsSleepTonight can't get it up]]; then, once that problem is solved, she has difficulty conceiving, and when she floats the idea of adoption her mother-in-law makes it known that she won't tolerate a "Mandarin baby"; she divorces Trey, and yay! Falls in love again! But it turns out he's super Jewish, so in order to be with the man she loves she needs to convert and (at least in her mind) abandon Christmas for Hannaukah; then Harry leaves her indefinitely after she spent all day cooking an enormous dinner for him but then says something she shouldn't have; they get back together, but then later the couple that had agreed to have their baby adopted changes their mind. [[EarnYourHappyEnding Everything turns out all right in the end, but dammit if Charlotte didn't get put through the wringer in order to get there. ]]

Added DiffLines:

* PutOnABus: Due to Kim Cattrall's falling out with Sarah Jessica Parker, and her declining to continue with the Samantha character, she did not return for ''And Just Like That...''. It is explained that due to the changing landscape of publishing, Carrie dropped her professionally as her PR representative, but not as her friend. Samantha however took this as a slight, and moved to London, not returning Carrie's calls or texts. Throughout the series though the two slowly rebuild their friendship, with her sending flowers for Big's funeral, and beginning to return Carrie's texts, with the season finale making plans to meet for Coffee, while Carrie is in Paris, though she remains off-screen.

* AmbiguousDisorder: She seems to have some sort of undiagnosed personality disorder. Several episodes draw attention to this, particularly in "Freak Show" where Carrie wonders if she's more than just "neurotic." She generally manages to hold it together, but experiences with Mr. Big tend to send her spiraling.
