The ending divided fans, with some thinking the conclusion was abrupt and that central trio Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte deserved more episodes.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">This week, Charlotte star Kristin Davis reunited with former co-star Mario Cantone, who played Anthony across both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalspy.com\/sex-and-the-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.digitalspy.com\/sex-and-the-city\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"SATC\" data-node-id=\"9.1.0\" class=\"body-link css-1lh7k7j emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">SATC<\/a> and AJLT, to discuss if there could ever be more in store for their characters.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"14\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">Appearing on Davis&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iheart.com\/podcast\/1119-are-you-a-charlotte-247668155\/episode\/we-meet-anthony-with-mario-cantone-318077854\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.iheart.com\/podcast\/1119-are-you-a-charlotte-247668155\/episode\/we-meet-anthony-with-mario-cantone-318077854\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Are You a Charlotte?\" data-node-id=\"14.1.0\" class=\"body-link css-1lh7k7j emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Are You a Charlotte?<\/a> podcast, Cantone said he &#8220;just wanted one more season&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"17\" class=\"css-18ljdn6 emevuu60\">&#8220;I agree. I absolutely wanted one more season, too,&#8221; Davis said as Cantone added: &#8220;I don&#8217;t care what anybody says, that was not a series finale.
