A familiar face in Carrie’s world
Do you remember when Andy Cohen was just a shoe salesman named Daniel who helped Carrie Bradshaw satisfy her shoe obsession? He’s back!
The Bravo host made a surprise appearance on the latest episode of “And Just Like That,” reprising his role from 21 years ago.
That “Hey Hello” moment
On Thursday’s episode, while Carrie is walking through a fancy department store, Cohen’s character, Daniel, hurries past with a box of shoes in hand, promising to help her soon.
Carrie casually replies that she’s “just looking today,” which shows their casual familiarity.
This little interaction confirms that this is the same character who appeared in 2004’s “Sex and the City.”
A glimpse of the past
Cohen first appeared as the character in the Season 6 SATC episode “Let There Be Light,” during a memorable scene where Charlotte was trying to experience blindness while Carrie was predictably distracted by shoes.
Daniel was there then, helping her put on heeled shoes while Charlotte struggled blindfolded.
Retail therapy after heartbreak
This time, the shopping trip comes with a much heavier emotional burden. Carrie ends up in the shoe department after an ugly fight with Aidan over their neighbor, Duncan.
Their feud escalates to the point where Carrie needs to clear her mind — and what better way than to look at expensive shoes?
Another breakup for the books
The episode ends with another separation between Carrie and Aidan — their third major breakup.
While fans may debate whether these two should try again, one relationship remains constant: Carrie and her therapeutic shopping habits, with Daniel always willing to lend support to her addiction to designer shoes.
The Cohen Connection
What makes this cameo particularly fascinating is how Cohen has gone from a minor character in the SATC universe to a major media personality in the real world.
While he spends his real days hosting “Watch What Happens Live” and mediating dramatic “Real Housewives” reunions, in Carrie’s world, he’s still the same reliable shoe salesman who knows her name and never judges her purchases.
Whatever happens next in Carrie’s complicated love life, it’s comforting to know that some things never change — like finding solace in retail therapy with a familiar face in the shoe department.
