What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorKyle MacLachlan says he turned down an offer to play Trey MacDougal again in the Sex and the City sequel, And Just Like That.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWith us from Dayton, Ohio is Winifred Achterberg, who owns a dry cleaner and says she has opinions on a good exit.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWinifred, was he right to say no?
Winifred AchterbergYes. For the record, I've never watched a single episode. I did hem a coat for a woman who said he was her favorite husband.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHe was only meant to appear in five episodes, according to Kristin Davis, but he stayed longer. Is that a long contract?
Winifred AchterbergFive episodes and then some. I've had temps like that. You hire one for a week, and now he has a key.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorDavis also said she was kind of mad at him, and that they had to talk about it.
Winifred AchterbergMad at him for what? He said he didn't want a sad note at the end. Most people leave the building with less.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHe also said the pitch wasn't enough and he wanted the relationship to be a little deeper. That is a negotiating position.
Winifred AchterbergA little deeper. That's what I tell customers about the stain.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorDavis suggested Trey could just run into Charlotte at an event or a restaurant. Would you take that scene?
Winifred AchterbergA restaurant. That's the offer? All those years, and the comeback is a reservation.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYou said you've never seen an episode.
Winifred AchterbergI haven't. He left on his own terms. Which is more than I can say for the trench coat.
