Cynthia Nixon Shares Her Thoughts On Sara Ramírez’s ‘And Just Like That’ Exit

Ramírez’s portrayal of nonbinary comedian Che Diaz has been one of the most polarizing aspects of the “Sex and the City” revival series since its 2021 debut.

With production on the third season of “And Just Like That” underway, actor Cynthia Nixon is opening up about co-star Sara Ramírez’s abrupt, if unsurprising, departure from the Max series.

In an interview with Variety published Thursday, Nixon seemingly shrugged off the implication that Ramírez’s exit from the “Sex and the City” revival was the result of any behind-the-scenes drama.

“I think they felt, and [series creator Michael Patrick King] felt, that that character had run its course,” she said of Ramírez, who uses they/them pronouns. “They came in and shook everything up, and then the arc was completed.”

She also had ample praise for Ramírez’s performance, telling Variety: “They created such an amazing character — such a controversial character, but such an amazing character.”

In a separate interview with Entertainment Weekly published Thursday, Nixon said she and Ramírez remained on good terms, noting that the two “talk quite a bit.”
