Kristin Davis may need performed the picture-perfect Charlotte York within the sequence “Sex and the City,” however behind the polished picture, there was a second that also makes her shudder.
In a March 7 episode of Davis’ podcast “Are You a Charlotte?” the actor opened up a few scene she couldn’t fairly swallow — no pun meant.
“I mean, in the show, this is going to sound ridiculous, but in the show, this is so silly and probably petty,” Davis confessed. “But there was a storyline with Evan and I, Harry and I, where we go out on Valentine’s Day and eat a bunch of French cheese and have digestive problems and lay on the floor in T-shirts.”

The scene she’s referring to is from “The Ick Factor,” the season finale of “Sex and the City’s” sixth season, the place Charlotte’s husband Harry Goldenblatt, performed by Evan Handler, embarks on a lactose-filled try and impress his on-screen associate. What follows, after all, is a full-on digestive catastrophe that ends with the couple sprawled out on the ground.
“I just hated that storyline so much,” Davis admitted.
It was a second so insufferable that Davis took her dissatisfaction straight to the writers, Elisa Zuritsky and Julia Rottenberg.
“I went to them and I was like, ‘Please, do we have to, why?’” she confessed.
However the writers weren’t backing down. Davis recalled their response throughout the episode: “They were like, ‘‘Cause it’s so funny.’ I think … it was based on someone had gone to France and this had happened to them because, you know, they have so many decadent cheeses that we’re not used to here.”

Nonetheless, Davis wasn’t precisely tickled by the storyline.
“I didn’t like that. I didn’t want to lay on the floor in the bathroom with Evan in, like, stained T-shirts,” she defined.
And whereas this might’ve been only one embarrassing episode in Charlotte’s life, it seems Davis had an uncanny sample of selecting up scenes that didn’t fairly agree along with her.
Davis mentioned the cheese scene was “second” to what author Michael Patrick King “put me through in Mexico, with the water” in the 2008 “Sex and the City” movie.

“I’m not even going to go into detail, ’cause everyone knows,” she mentioned, referring to an iconic scene when she by chance swallows bathe water on the resort the characters stayed at — resulting in disastrous outcomes. Or, as Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie says, she “Poughkeepsie-d in her pants.”
