Cynthia Nixon spotted filming scene for And Just Like That with new castmate Dolly Wells for the first time in NYC
Cynthia Nixon was spotted filming a scene for the upcoming season of And Just Like That in New York City on Friday.
She was sitting at an outside table in a cafe with Dolly Wells, who plays Joy, a potential love interest for Nixon’s Miranda – much like Rosie O’Donnell’s Mary who was spotted filming with Nixon earlier this month.
Cynthia looks into the distance as if she sees someone she recognizes in one of the photos.
In another, Dolly leans over to pet an adorable gray dog that has run up to them when Miranda’s son Brady, played by Niall Cunningham, walks up to them.
In two other photos, the women are deep in conversation and Dolly places her hand on Cynthia’s.

Dolly appeared in the final two episodes of the second season of the spin-off Sex and the City.
She is one of two recurring characters who were promoted to regular characters in the third season.
Sebastiano Pigazzi, who plays himbo Giuseppe, also became a regular actor in the series.
Along with O’Donnell, Mehcad Brooks, Jonathan Cake and Logan Marshall-Green have joined the cast as recurring characters.
The official logline for Season 3 reads: “In this new chapter in the groundbreaking Sex and the City franchise, Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte, along with new and familiar friends, grapple with the complicated realities of friendship, family and New York City at 50.”
Last month, Nixon addressed the departure of Sara Ramirez’s character Che Diaz from And Just Like That in a new interview with Variety.
“They’ve created such a great character — such a controversial character, but such a great character,” said the Emmy winner (58).
The mother of three continued, “I think they felt, and Michael Patrick King [And Just Like That’s creator] felt that character had run its course. They came in and shook everything up, and then the arc was complete.’
Nixon also reflected on how she’s become more like her character on the show over the years, while Miranda has become “a lot more like” her.
In January, insiders told DailyMail.com that Ramirez had been dropped from the cast as many felt her character was “a waste of airtime” and “annoying” to viewers.

This happened after Ramirez pointedly suggested that their time on the show was over for expressing pro-Palestinian views.
But a source close to the series ridiculed the suggestion, claiming Ramirez’s head had been “on the chopping block since last season” because their character “had no value anymore” and was “annoying.”
“Sara was not fired because they support Palestine and the ceasefire,” they told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘Sara was fired because Che didn’t bring anything to the show anymore. They have been on the chopping block since last season.
‘After Che broke up with Miranda, the character really had no value anymore and fans found them annoying. The struggling comedian storyline was a waste of airtime and Sara knew it.”
