Sex and the City shocker! The show's creator didn't want Carrie to end up with Mr Big

By Jeremy Helligar|

Imagine a world where Carrie Bradshaw didn't end up with Mr Big in the Sex and the City series finale. At least one person would like to.

It was the perfect ending to a near-perfect TV series, but at least one person didn't want Carrie Bradshaw and Mr Big to get together in Sex and the City's 2004 finale.

The show's creator Darren Star revealed what he really thought of the romantic conclusion in a Kindle Singles interview. He was not amused…or moved.

"I think the show ultimately betrayed what it was about, which was that women don't ultimately find happiness from marriage," Darren, 54, said. "Not that they can't. But the show initially was going off script from the romantic comedies that had come before it. That's what had made women so attached."

So it wasn't that he had anything against Big. Had Carrie ended up with Aidan or Berger or the annoying Russian, he probably still wouldn't have been pleased.

Unfortunately for Darren, while he created SATC, he wasn't completely hands-on to the very end.
