“SATC” star doesn't believe a man left Carrie money after sex thinking she was a prostitute: 'That seems weird'

Sex and the City star Kristin Davis recently launched a new podcast rewatching the hit series in full, and she's already having a hard time believing some storylines.

"It is, wow, fascinating to think about and really, really interesting, and also really pretty mortifying," Davis said of an early series plot in which series lead Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) finds herself ensnared. In the episode "The Power of Female Sex," Carrie goes back to the hotel room of a dashing French architect (Ed Fry), who eventually leaves her to enjoy room service by herself. She then finds he left an envelope on the bedside table containing $1,000 in cash, which she does not know how to interpret.

"I don't remember this at all, you guys," Davis remarked on Sunday's episode of Are You a Charlotte? "I think I would definitely die a million deaths if that ever happened to me. But I also feel like he was so sweet to her, and she told him about her money problems. Right? I think she told him, 'I have an addiction to shoes.'"

In the episode, Carrie does what she'd go on to do for the next six years of episodes: She takes the incident to her trusted gal pals (Cynthia Nixon's Miranda Hobbes, Kim Cattrall's Samantha Jones, and Davis' Charlotte York) to figure out what it all means. Davis did the same on her podcast, wrestling with what the architect's intentions may have been.

"I don't think she told him that her bills were sitting on her table, and that she threw them away...and he says something like, 'Oh, doesn't writing pay well?' She's like, 'No, no, it does!' Which is funny also, but it's all very interesting. So maybe he's just leaving her some money to buy some shoes. I didn't necessarily think that he meant it, like, 'Yes, I thought you were a prostitute.' I do not think that he thought that she was a prostitute, okay? That seems weird to me," she said.

Carrie's gal pals are divided over what the money means and what she should do with it, with Samantha advocating to take it and forget the implications ("Men give, and women receive") and Miranda offended by the suggestion that Carrie slept with the man on a transactional basis.

Davis and her costars were still settling into their roles when "The Power of Female Sex" aired on HBO in 1998. But by the series' end, Davis has said that the actresses have become so identified with their characters that it's hard not to be offended when fans display distaste for them. Remarking on Parker being hurt when fans adamantly claim they aren't a Carrie, Davis remarked, "Of course, she takes it personally, because how can you not?"
