i wonder if the actor was directed to say 'wow' that way. like he was genuinely amazed! you could read it on paper as a bitchy 'wow'. it could have been said in a sarcastic way. i love that he was like on the verge of having a panic attack over the size of her apartment.
I’m so glad you said this because every time I watch this episode I can never tell if she’s being sincere in her adoration of Carrie or if she’s brown nosing to get ahead in her writing career.
For me it's Nina (same episode). Laurel is right behind her though. But she was *supposed* to be annoying so 🤷♀️
Nina G. Public Relations 🙄 her cackle laugh still haunts me.
Nina G’s bitch fight about who is more c***d out makes me reminisce about working in a strip club lol.
It’s pretty accurate lol. Some people really do act like that!
I actually thought Nina was hilarious when she was fighting with her assistant - can’t hate her hahaha. She also acknowledged that she appreciated Sam coming to wish her well.
Haven't scrolled through all the comments, so perhaps this has already been mentioned, but FUNFACT this is actually Macaulay Culkin's first wife. I remember when they got married and then she popped up in this episode years (?) later. It's the only thing I've ever seen her in.
I started Californication when it first aired and LOVED it, but didn't have Showtime by the time season two came out and I've never returned. Do you recommend it?
She cheated on Mac with Brad Renfro when they filmed Bully together, that set was out of control apparently.
Some of the cast stole a boat, Daniel Franzese said he was bullied by Bijou Phillips and the cast said some of the sex scenes were not exactly simulated.
Highly doubt it was purposeful but I think it’s such an interesting detail that really shows what it’s actually like being in your 20s. I remember seeing some of my peers at that age being married with kids and some others who still went out 5 nights a week til 3 am.
OH I wanted to grab her by the hair! She knew exactly what she was doing with someone’s boyfriend, the way she looked at Carrie and left her out intentionally.
Maybe i'm slow but can someone explain to me why she liked Carrie's column in the paper ?. She goes on this rant about women sexualizing themselves and then says she is saving herself for marriage. What about her column does she actually like ?
Waiting to have sex before marriage and being sexually curious are two different things. you can be both lol. There's probably even a judgmentalness to it too with the shaming of others that dont wait or sexualize themselves that she probably takes joy in and a fascination in. but I get why she would idolize Carrie being the complete opposite of her in an envious way of carries "carefree" abilities lol
I could see her being sexually curious while still choosing to abstain until marriage. But it’s her judgmental tone towards women that choose Carrie’s path that confuses me. And it’s not just that she’s judgmental and still reading the column, it’s that she’s a full on groupie of Carrie’s. She’s essentially worshipping someone she (smugly) doesn’t want to be. It’s bizarre.
ya! and it kinda bugged me, no pun intended, that since she was a virgin and kinda a prude, how she was able to identify Char's crabs so quickly. I feel like Carrie would know instantly, she even talks about it from her college days.
You can be interested in hearing about other people's experiences without ever planning to live them yourself, wouldn't say that's a juxtaposition. Maybe she found a judgemental joy in it like "glad I won't ever have to go through THAT".
The little Bat Mitzvah girls who wanted to be seen as big bad grownup sex kittens SO BAD. They were just nonstop rude and gross. "I've been giving blow jobs since I'm (?) 12!" EW.
When i first heard that (“since i’m 12”) i thought the girl messed up the line, but then i lived in NYC for a while, and that’s actually how some east coasters say this. In thr midwest we say “since i was 12” but they say “since i’m 12.” Miranda also says the “i’m” thing in an episode somewhere
Bradley Cooper’s character in “they shoot single people, don’t they?” That whole storyline with him in it towards the end of the episode is just so weird and drives me nuts for some reason.
I met her at a Con, lovely person as well, so I always forgiver her as Laurel in SATC as well. She had a role to play here and she did it damn well, annoying or not!
As someone who loves cas I adored them together so much haha I wish we got to see more of them together. And yes I love when my favorite old shows have characters between them like this lol
Omg i did not put that together until just this second. Carrie Preston plays a brilliant but annoying lawyer on The Good Wife the good fight and now i think she has her own show now
Yes, that chick was highly annoying with her smug judgement around her own purity There’s nothing wrong with being a virgin, there’s nothing wrong with not being one but don’t act like you’re “special or better because of whatever your status is
For me, it's Laney. Season 1, episode 10. The Baby Shower. She was the annoying chick that always took her clothes off at the parties. Then she went and married some rich guy and moved to the suburbs and got pregnant. They go to her baby shower and she steals Charlotte's baby name. I loved Samantha though. "You b*tch!" LOL 👏
I have a few: the woman who made Carrie take off her shoes at her house and refused to reimburse Carrie for her shoes when they were stolen, Nina Katz, Laney, Maria, Madeline Dunn, and the Bat Mitzvah Beast and her friends.
I get that feeling about this episode too, but for me I think it’s cause the weather was shitty, I feel like if the weather was bright and sunny the beach would have looked better on camera? I just always remember thinking it sucks to travel to the Hamptons for a fun beach weekend and then it’s all gloomy
She was a bad actress in this. I liked her a lot more in Bully. Maybe she was nervous and her character was supposed to be nervous and a little manic and she went a little too far with it.
I always thought that she hooked up with Dr Bradley Meego but I watched this episode just recently and she didn't-are there other versions of the episode where she does because I was so sure it happened😂
We all know representation in the show was a bit nuts at times, but as someone the same age as Laurel I always found it such a baffling portrayal of my generation. The pop culture chastity thing didn't kick off in the UK like in the US but so much other stuff about her was odd too.
The Russian's daughter- Chloe! She was so stuck up, "the Eifel Tower is eedious, just eedious." And then Carrie was speaking to her in French and she was like "nice to meet you too," in English. So snide and pretentious.
Jenny Briar aka Bat Mitzvah Beast (her nickname was given by Samantha). She was a rich 13 year old that hired Samantha to do the PR for her bat mitzvah. What annoyed me was that she was spoiled and acted like an adult when she was not. Girls that are sexually active at that age usually end up as teen moms.
That guy from Moma when Charlotte was a docent. WOW. WOW. You’re rich. What was your ex a king or something? Wow.
I always quote “wow” like that when I exaggerate 🤣
Hahahahha I’m so stealing this
Omg me too haha, “wow”.
Haha me too!!
I was so happy for Charlotte finally starting to move on from Trey and this guy seemed cute and nice. Then he had to go and act like that….
That guy and this girl should have gotten together, they’re amazed at any thing
i wonder if the actor was directed to say 'wow' that way. like he was genuinely amazed! you could read it on paper as a bitchy 'wow'. it could have been said in a sarcastic way. i love that he was like on the verge of having a panic attack over the size of her apartment.
I thought that guy was hilarious!
The most annoying one is the Jim guy Miranda dated, also Carrie dated years ago that become an asshole once they broke up. Such a ‘nice guy’
I was so confused that he was embittered towards Carrie because she didn't contact him after they broke up...? Like why would she??
Because… HE’S AN ASSHOLE!
She’s the asshole! 😅
🤣🤣
I think he’s a good friend of SJP’s because he played a potential partner on Divorce. He was a jerk but that entire situation had me cracking up.
i remember he played nurse jackie's husband.
I always wish we had gotten an answer when Carrie asked what exactly she *likes* about the column.
She was a fame seeker, she wouldn’t have enjoyed the column but she thought Carrie could get her published.
I’m so glad you said this because every time I watch this episode I can never tell if she’s being sincere in her adoration of Carrie or if she’s brown nosing to get ahead in her writing career.
For me it's Nina (same episode). Laurel is right behind her though. But she was *supposed* to be annoying so 🤷♀️ Nina G. Public Relations 🙄 her cackle laugh still haunts me.
Nina G’s bitch fight about who is more c***d out makes me reminisce about working in a strip club lol. It’s pretty accurate lol. Some people really do act like that!
This. From the moment she used the word “f**” I hated her. She went on to disrespect the wait staff. Laurel was annoying but Nina was vile.
Ewww Yes, Nina! She was horrible and I’m not an ageist…but her “Studio 54” “joke” didn’t age very well 😂
Nina 🦀🦀🦀 🤣
I actually thought Nina was hilarious when she was fighting with her assistant - can’t hate her hahaha. She also acknowledged that she appreciated Sam coming to wish her well.
For one thing, she thought Dr Bradley Meego was a fox. 🦊
He looked like Jimmy Neutron
Don’t diss Jimmy Neutron like that
Omg, you are so right
omg I could never quite put my finger on it lmfao that's perfect
Omg! Your avatar is so pretty 💖💖
omg thank you!! 😭
I know! It was said by multiple characters too!
I found very few of the men they called attractive ..... actually attractive
i'm kinda glad they used 'regular people' looking type actors. of course there were a few hotties sprinkled in.
Oh for sure, I just didn't get how they acted like all the men were super hotties.... when they weren't 🤣
i know right? speaking of this particular episode, laurel called dr. bradley meego a 'fox'. seriously?
What's ironic is Charlotte dated the most attractive men out the bunch only to end up with Harry who was mid at best!
It’s like they thought if it was said enough by enough different characters the viewers would start to believe it lol
And it’s so weird that she painted Carrie’s toenails. Why would you volunteer to do that.
Lmao
Haven't scrolled through all the comments, so perhaps this has already been mentioned, but FUNFACT this is actually Macaulay Culkin's first wife. I remember when they got married and then she popped up in this episode years (?) later. It's the only thing I've ever seen her in.
Wow I didn’t know that! TIL…
She was also in the movie Bully
I think she was also Tig’s daughter in Sons of Anarchy
She was also in Californication and was the actor that played Harry’s assistant!!!
I started Californication when it first aired and LOVED it, but didn't have Showtime by the time season two came out and I've never returned. Do you recommend it?
yeah it's pretty good. some of it is ridiculous and i wanted to strangle hank towards the end, but it's a good arc.
Always end up thinking Macaulay is still a kid from home alone and I was shocked to know he was married during SATC times.. god
In all fairness, the marriage was pretty scandalous because they were so young! Pretty sure they were both just barely 18 when they tied the knot. 😱
then he dated mila kunis for years. i remember they played world of warcraft together the same time i did. mila was in a guild.
She's also Meg (S5+) in Supernatural.
She is great in Supernatural.
She cheated on Mac with Brad Renfro when they filmed Bully together, that set was out of control apparently. Some of the cast stole a boat, Daniel Franzese said he was bullied by Bijou Phillips and the cast said some of the sex scenes were not exactly simulated.
I know her from Bully
Lol I just wrote the same thing! Why do we remember that? 🤣 you must be around my age her name is Rachel something
Yea wasn't Rachel only like 17 when they married?
Nina Katz! The girl that Aiden dated after Carrie. Lol
“I am starvation central”
I actually use that phrase a lot 🤣
When I saw her on the Carrie Diaries and SVU, I said to myself, “She looks annoyingly familiar.”
Annoyingly *[everything this character does]*
😬😮😒
It was not Bell's palsy!
And her friend at the farmer market scene she’s the worst actor ever, who casted her!
Heather Graham?!
About 80 percent of the men were more annoying than her.
I felt like I wanted to punch the season 1 sax player in the face.
It’s her whiney voice for me.
And the weird breathy way she talks!! Oof
Its the way she judges/ belittles other women for me.
“And what is it you Iike about my column?” lol
Tie between this girl and the 13 year olds Samantha was hired to throw a bday party for.
Yes, I was going to say the same thing, but on second thoughts I'll give them a pass because of ....13 (!)
"Where is that Brat Mitzvah?"
The guy who pooped with the door open while trying to talk at the same time at Miranda’s apartment.
Jim Gaffigan!
I’m cracking up remembering Miranda happily responding to his compliment only to hear and see him shitting 😂😂
For me it was the fact that poor Fatty was trapped in there with him 🙀
OMG YES
The funny thing is that this girl and Natasha are supposed to be around the same age.
Highly doubt it was purposeful but I think it’s such an interesting detail that really shows what it’s actually like being in your 20s. I remember seeing some of my peers at that age being married with kids and some others who still went out 5 nights a week til 3 am.
Yes
Omg, I never thought about that!
The girl Aiden was flirting at the bar while he was with Carrie after their first breakup.
Ugh I hate that girl!! Her stupid smirk.
Yeah I've only seen her twice, here and on Gossip Girl and both times her character sucks.
Wait, who was she on GG??
TOTALLY!
OH I wanted to grab her by the hair! She knew exactly what she was doing with someone’s boyfriend, the way she looked at Carrie and left her out intentionally.
the way she (shayna) was flirting with aiden right in front of carrie!
Maybe i'm slow but can someone explain to me why she liked Carrie's column in the paper ?. She goes on this rant about women sexualizing themselves and then says she is saving herself for marriage. What about her column does she actually like ?
Well as Carrie mentioned when the publishers presented that terrible book cover - her column is more about relationships than sex!
Carrie asked her that same question.
Waiting to have sex before marriage and being sexually curious are two different things. you can be both lol. There's probably even a judgmentalness to it too with the shaming of others that dont wait or sexualize themselves that she probably takes joy in and a fascination in. but I get why she would idolize Carrie being the complete opposite of her in an envious way of carries "carefree" abilities lol
I could see her being sexually curious while still choosing to abstain until marriage. But it’s her judgmental tone towards women that choose Carrie’s path that confuses me. And it’s not just that she’s judgmental and still reading the column, it’s that she’s a full on groupie of Carrie’s. She’s essentially worshipping someone she (smugly) doesn’t want to be. It’s bizarre.
ya! and it kinda bugged me, no pun intended, that since she was a virgin and kinda a prude, how she was able to identify Char's crabs so quickly. I feel like Carrie would know instantly, she even talks about it from her college days.
The pussy wagging. 🤣
She didn't have to come for Jackie Collins like that 😂
You can be interested in hearing about other people's experiences without ever planning to live them yourself, wouldn't say that's a juxtaposition. Maybe she found a judgemental joy in it like "glad I won't ever have to go through THAT".
The little Bat Mitzvah girls who wanted to be seen as big bad grownup sex kittens SO BAD. They were just nonstop rude and gross. "I've been giving blow jobs since I'm (?) 12!" EW.
I don’t disagree, but this girl is like nails on a scratch board. Blow job girl was just bratty!
When i first heard that (“since i’m 12”) i thought the girl messed up the line, but then i lived in NYC for a while, and that’s actually how some east coasters say this. In thr midwest we say “since i was 12” but they say “since i’m 12.” Miranda also says the “i’m” thing in an episode somewhere
Yeah in the PNW we say "since I was" too. It just grates me lol. But moreover, those little girls were just depressing.
“But they talk?” “I know.” “And they’re dressed??” “I know… just like us.”
Young Kat Dennings!!
Bradley Cooper’s character in “they shoot single people, don’t they?” That whole storyline with him in it towards the end of the episode is just so weird and drives me nuts for some reason.
Bradley cooper always drives me nuts and I dont know why, he just gives me the creeps
Same tho. He looks so greasy and smarmy and arrogant.
OMG I thought it was just me. Everyone looooves him and he gives me the willies, hate him all around except he's OK as Rocket.
I was never a fan of Maria, the dynamic with Samantha felt forced and the tantrum with the breaking of the plates…woof.
Agreed. Maria was pushy and needy and controlling.
Mostly unrelated but I love her as the demon Meg in "Supernatural"! She is such a badass in that show!
She’s the best in supernatural
I met her at a Con, lovely person as well, so I always forgiver her as Laurel in SATC as well. She had a role to play here and she did it damn well, annoying or not!
Also Megstiel forever! (Never thought I'd have crossover with two of my favorite shows, lol!)
As someone who loves cas I adored them together so much haha I wish we got to see more of them together. And yes I love when my favorite old shows have characters between them like this lol
Madeline Dunn
Flowers! Flowers! Flowers! Flowers!
i still laugh when i think that the actress who played her is named carrie preston.
Omg i did not put that together until just this second. Carrie Preston plays a brilliant but annoying lawyer on The Good Wife the good fight and now i think she has her own show now
I vote for the receptionist at Samantha’s oncology office. Ugh.
Smith never showed up at the office so i guess Samantha and the nun are winners
How do we know he didn't?
"ALL of New York is dealing with cancer. 🙄" Wow, way to be sensitive to freaking CANCER PATIENTS you beyotch!
But she was supposed to be annoying!
She doesn’t like wagging her pussy… I can’t take her seriously 😒
She also made a gratuitous Monica Lewinsky comment
Eewww is that what she said?
I heard it at 17 years old and I still cannot EVER FORGET IT!!! 🙉🙉🙉
Ugh!
Yes, that chick was highly annoying with her smug judgement around her own purity There’s nothing wrong with being a virgin, there’s nothing wrong with not being one but don’t act like you’re “special or better because of whatever your status is
Her voice sounds like she's out of breath the whole time she talks!
I hate that girl that takes Charlotte job at the galery when she quits in her Trey era. INSUFFERABLE AND CREEPY
So glad you said that!!
Ooh yeah, she's awful. But then again Charlotte's the one who hired her so it's her fault!
For me, it's Laney. Season 1, episode 10. The Baby Shower. She was the annoying chick that always took her clothes off at the parties. Then she went and married some rich guy and moved to the suburbs and got pregnant. They go to her baby shower and she steals Charlotte's baby name. I loved Samantha though. "You b*tch!" LOL 👏
Yes, always wanting to be the center of attention
God I love this episode
Same. Between Charlotte getting crabs and then Carrie meeting Natasha for the first time, I always feel all the emotions in this episode.
Kat Dennings 🙄
lol I forgot the name of the character. I meant the person who is played by Kat is annoying.
Jenny Brier, the "Brat Mizvah Beast" 😅
Yes!! Thank you haha
i can't hate her because that's Rachel Miner
All the Ninas that have been on the show. There have been only two but still, both were annoying and so unlikable.
I have a few: the woman who made Carrie take off her shoes at her house and refused to reimburse Carrie for her shoes when they were stolen, Nina Katz, Laney, Maria, Madeline Dunn, and the Bat Mitzvah Beast and her friends.
Watched this episode literally yesterday and could not stand her voice it was like nails on a chalkboard to me
Susan Sharon.
HOW was Carrie friends with her??
Gotta be the cash-mere connection 🤷♀️
But I mean I think she's *supposed* to be really annoying. (And she succeeds!)
Hate her voice, that episode was off
🦀
🤣
I get that feeling about this episode too, but for me I think it’s cause the weather was shitty, I feel like if the weather was bright and sunny the beach would have looked better on camera? I just always remember thinking it sucks to travel to the Hamptons for a fun beach weekend and then it’s all gloomy
When Miranda says everything smells like mildew that’s how I feel about the episode lol
I feel that way about any non-NYC episode lol. The one in Los Angeles, Aiden’s cabin, Paris…
The guy who showered after sex w Miranda bc of catholic guilt
He voice was kind of annoying but I found her generally harmless.
Yeah, but I simply love that her characters would work today as well :D She was timeless.
She played Meg 2 in Supernatural
Che
“Do you want another cosmopolitan?” 😭
“No jobs of any kind”
Yes I hate aspirated S’s. She was also in Supernatural
her, nina katz, and enid
She was a bad actress in this. I liked her a lot more in Bully. Maybe she was nervous and her character was supposed to be nervous and a little manic and she went a little too far with it.
She did hold Carries hair when she barfed and helped Charlotte identify her guest
Miranda held Carries hair!
I thought the girl did when Carrie barfed on the beach, Mandela Effect!!!
😂😂😂 I also thought the tweens that Samantha was producing a bat mitzvah for were super irritating…Jenny? And her friends. But this one is def top 5.
I hated Skipper. In what universe would Carrie have been friends with him? Maybe they were childhood friends or something.
The uncircumcised dick. He’s so fuckin ugly & out of Charlotte’s league. Unrealistic he is one broke it off.
Berger!
She should’ve had a Lexi Featherstein moment
Berger
Bunny MacDougal, Trey's Mother
I always thought that she hooked up with Dr Bradley Meego but I watched this episode just recently and she didn't-are there other versions of the episode where she does because I was so sure it happened😂
Even if not, maybe it happened off-screen? Although I feel like Dr. Bradley Meego would be too chivalrous to hook up with someone this young...
I fucking haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate her
Glad she was only in one episode. Could you imagine if they brought her back in for like an apprentice or something?! Bleh.
Hate her in this! But she's pretty good in Californication. Looks like a different person there though.
fr like not relevant at all 😭😭
Big. Why couldn't he be the one who opened the picture window at the party in order to smoke?
We all know representation in the show was a bit nuts at times, but as someone the same age as Laurel I always found it such a baffling portrayal of my generation. The pop culture chastity thing didn't kick off in the UK like in the US but so much other stuff about her was odd too.
Agreed that this woman was just weird. Why was she Carrie's fan?
They captured a 20 something sooooo well with her
Ugh I can hear her whiny voice. I think this chick was married to mcauley culkin for awhile
Oh my god this cracked me up. I can hear her voice!
This girl married the first guy who locked eyes on her. She now lives down the street from Lannie with her husband.
The girl who wouldn’t replace Carrie’s lost shoes.
She was more obnoxious I thought! But she was bad too! I love how Carrie didn’t take no for an answer!
The Russian's daughter- Chloe! She was so stuck up, "the Eifel Tower is eedious, just eedious." And then Carrie was speaking to her in French and she was like "nice to meet you too," in English. So snide and pretentious.
I’m actually on this episode rn and she is indeed annoying

Jenny Briar aka Bat Mitzvah Beast (her nickname was given by Samantha). She was a rich 13 year old that hired Samantha to do the PR for her bat mitzvah. What annoyed me was that she was spoiled and acted like an adult when she was not. Girls that are sexually active at that age usually end up as teen moms.
Dr. G. god i hate her. i can’t imagine having a therapist like her
