And Just Like That: A Character's Death On The Show Triggers Fans. Spoiler Alert

And just like that, a big part of Carrie Bradshaw's life changed

As if losing Samantha Jones in the show and Stanford Blatch (played by Willie Garson) in real life was not enough, the makers of Sex And The City reboot And Just Like That decided to kill a beloved character and one of the main ones. Well, the character we are talking about is John Preston or Mr Big as show's protagonist Carrie Bradshaw lovingly called him. Chris Noth, who starred as Carrie's husband, was a part of the first season of the show as well as both the Sex And The City films. It would be fair to say that Carrie and Mr Big's love story wasn't all rosy and did not come easy but was surely worth remembering (more on that later). Fans of the series seemed upset and were triggered by Mr Big's death that too in the first episode of the show and here are some tweets that reflect the collective agony of And Just Like That and Sex And The City fans.

"This one hurt," tweeted a fan. Coincidentally Carrie wore the same shoes on the day of Mr Big's death that she wore during the time he proposed to her.
