Jess is joined by Emmy-winning exec. producer and writer on ALL SIX SEASONS of SEX AND THE CITY, Jenny Bicks! Jenny reveals how Samantha’s cancer storyline was based on her own experience beating breast cancer and how Steve is based on her husband, as well as her own personal contributions to Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte. We discuss the episodes she personally wrote, including “Splat” (Lexi Featherston - Kristen Johnston falls out a window), “A Woman’s Right to Shoes,” “Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda” (Miranda discovers she is pregnant) and key episodes around the Big / Carrie / Aiden affair. We also discuss parallels between SATC and RHONY, plus her work on DAWSON’S CREEK.
