Breaking News:Bridget Moynahan Is Coming Back !
Bridget Moynahan Teases A Potential Return To And Just Like That…
Carrie Bradshaw might never get rid of Natasha!
Bridget Moynahan, who played Natasha—the ex-wife of Carrie’s (now dead) husband Big—on Sex and the City, isn’t ready to leave the show behind.
“It was so fun coming back,” Moynahan told Entertainment Tonight of her appearance on an episode of reboot And Just Like That… “I think we should make a push to [executive producer] Michael Patrick King to bring [Natasha] back. Let’s start a campaign, everybody.”
Are you signing the petition, SATC fans?
In the first season of And Just Like That…, Carrie hunts down Natasha after finding out that Big left Natasha $1 million in his will. Suspecting that the two were having an affair, Carrie is unsuccessful at meeting Natasha at her office, but then runs into her—quite literally—at a cafe around the corner.
The two hash it out and end on good terms, as Natasha explains that she never saw Big after their divorce and would decline the money.
It was quite the amicable conclusion for two women who weren’t always the biggest fans of each other. Why mess with a happy ending?
Moynahan, who is currently in the middle of her 12th season on the CBS police drama Blue Bloods, credits Sex and the City for kickstarting her career. Her return to the glamorous world of Carrie and Co. was like slipping on a favorite old pair of Louboutins.
“I was thankful to be part of it,” she said. “I’m so happy they asked me to come back. It was so fun. It was like going back to a family.”
The OG star reveals how she landed the plum role, the mixed blessing of ‘Sex and the City’ and how she keeps her private life private in this week’s cover story.
The year is 2010. Actress Bridget Moynahan is living in Los Angeles with her young son, Jack, and jumping around in various productions of small-ish films such as Prey, Noise and Ramona & Beezus.
Then she receives a phone call that changes everything.
It’s her friend (and fellow Massachusetts native) Donnie Wahlberg. The two had just worked on a TV pilot together that didn’t get picked up. He wants to know if she’d be interested in playing his sister in a new series. Tentative title: Blue Bloods.
Now she’s gearing up to say goodbye to the show that changed her life. Moynahan, 52, is currently filming her 14th and final season of the popular Friday night CBS drama (which premieres Feb. 16 at 10 p.m. ET). No standard procedural, the series has cultivated a large and devoted fan base because of its rich connections among the formidable but endearing Reagan family played by the likes of Tom Selleck, Wahlberg and Will Estes. Over the course of the series, which will air its last episode in the fall, Moynahan’s hardworking Erin Reagan has become NYC’s Assistant District Attorney and raised her now-grown daughter, Nicky (Sami Gayle), all while enduring major physical trauma.
While we loved the way Carrie and Natasha ended things, we’ll take more Natasha if it means we don’t have to endure any more Che Diaz comedy concerts.
But maybe that’s just us.

Without getting into trouble, what can you say about Erin’s developments thus far?
Well, I can’t get anyone in trouble because nobody tells me anything! These are just good episodes. Erin’s ex-husband Jack [Peter Hermann] is coming back, so we’ll see about that.
She’s had a rocky time with her ex and has held off on running for district attorney. Do you think a happy ending is in store?
Yeah, maybe she’s happy with neither of those options!
