Will Sex and the City fans see the return of Dr. Trey MacDougal on And Just Like That? It’s quite possible if Kyle MacLachlan has a say.
Just days after Kristin Davis revealed that Trey, played by MacLachlan, 66, was the centre of a discarded plotline on the SATC reboot series, the actor himself spoke about being open to reprising his role.
Speaking to People on Monday, March 10, MacLachlan responded to comments made by Davis, 60, on the Thursday, March 6, episode of her “Are You a Charlotte?” podcast. Davis revealed that a rejected storyline for her character Charlotte York-Goldenblatt involved bumping into her first husband, Trey, whom Davis labelled the “best match” for Charlotte.
“That’s so sweet of her,” MacLachlan told the outlet of Davis’ recent comments. “I thought I was her perfect match and then they brought in somebody else. It was sad.”

Of returning to the SATC universe as Trey, MacLachlan expressed his interest and admitted that the show’s creators had been in touch. “I think it would be really fun to return, yeah, I do,” MacLachlan said. “They had reached out. I just felt that the idea that they had — I wanted a little bit more to it. I wanted the relationship that we had to be a little deeper.”
He added, “Maybe they’ll come back with another idea. I’d be game.”
On Davis’ podcast, the actress confirmed that MacLachlan, a friend of hers, had declined an offer to appear on AJLT. “I think he just didn’t want there to be kind of a sad note to the end,” Davis said. “So, I get that.”
Davis added, however, that she was eager for fans to receive some sort of closure over Trey and Charlotte’s failed marriage. (The characters got married in season three of SATC and divorced in season five before Charlotte went on to marry her current husband, Harry Goldenblatt, played by Evan Handler.)
“[Charlotte has] kind of an unfinished feeling about [Trey] and she really wants to see him,” Davis said on the podcast episode. “I, Kristen, also feel that way.”
She added that she hopes AJLT does find a way to bring Trey back into her character’s life. “Maybe they run into each other, you know, just at an event or at a restaurant or something like that,” Davis explained. “I think it would be so amazing to have Kyle back on. And I did give him a hard time the other day. And then he explained his point of view, and I did understand it.”
