Sex And The City's Mr Big 'will not return to And Just Like That as Chris Noth is cut from series finale'
HOLLYWOOD actor Chris Noth has been cut from the finale of the Sex and the City spin off And Just Like That following sex abuse allegations.
Noth had filmed scenes with leading star and executive producer Sarah Jessica Parker for flashbacks in Paris.
But Parker and HBO bosses have reportedly scrapped the scenes entirely and the footage “will not make it to air”.
The move comes three weeks after Noth was accused of sexual assault by multiple women, which the actor has denied.
But he has since been fired from CBS’ The Equalizer.
US site TV Line said that sources in And Just Like That’s creative team decided that the minimal footage shot in Paris was not integral to the scene.
They add that an insider told how the finale was not “locked” at the time the allegations against Noth were made public.
The cut scenes feature Sarah as Carrie, venturing to Paris’ Pont des Arts bridge to scatter Big’s ashes into the Seine river.

The sequence was due to include a fantasy element in which Big – who was killed off in And Just Like That’s premiere episode – spookily appears.
Before Noth's sex abuse scandal he had teased that Big would return.
He said: "I think there may be something. I can’t tell you what, but…there may be a little…there may be a haunting that happens.
"I don’t know. I don’t want to get in trouble."
HBO Max has been approached for comment.
Noth appeared on all six seasons of Sex and the City where he portrayed Mr. Big.
And he had a starring role in the subsequent two movies.
In October, Parker, who stars as Carrie Bradshaw, and her former on-screen love interest Noth were photographed filming And Just Like That… in Paris.
They were seen filming on the Passerelle des Arts, which is a bridge that crosses over the River Seine.
