'Sex And The City' Creator Didn't Want Carrie And Big To End Up Together

While fans might have thought the end of "Sex And The City" was one of the greatest happy endings of all times, the show's creator, Darren Starr, didn't think Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big should have had their happily ever after.

In a recent interview with Kindle Singles, Starr revealed that he thinks the 2004 series finale betrayed everything he ever thought of and created.

"For me, in a way - and I didn't [write] those last episodes - if you're empowering other people to write and produce your show, you can't...say certain things," he explained. "At a certain point, you've got to let them follow their vision. But I think the show ultimately betrayed what it was about, which was that women don't ultimately find happiness from marriage. Not that they can't. But the show initially was going off script from the romantic comedies that had come before it. That's what had made women so attached. At the end, it became a conventional romantic comedy."

"But unless you're there to write every episode, you're not going to get the ending you want," he added.

Basically, if it were up to Starr, it doesn't seem like Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Big (Chris Noth) would have wound up together, which has fans wondering what the plot of the "Sex And The City" movie would have been since it was ultimately based on their entire rekindling.

Parker recently opened up about the show as well and how people seem to think she and Carrie are one in the same.

"People probably don't realize that Carrie Bradshaw was radically different from who I was, who I continue to be," she told WSG Magazine. "I think that sometimes because we look alike and live in the same city and haunt the same neighborhoods, that it was sort of like I was playing in the sandbox, when it truth it took real work every day to be her, to understand her, to not judge her."
