King, 70, claimed the p— was a running metaphor in the finale.
“For the gorgeousness of Carrie’s pink, sparkly leading and tulle skirt, that’s the high, the low is a toilet filled up with s—. Because guess what? Being single, there’s a lot of s—, and relationships are a lot of s—,” he crudely told Variety about the theme that made viewers gag.
King also wanted to change Carrie’s happy ending with Mr. Big in the SATC finale to a scenario where the writer is alone and on her own.
“This is the real, real, this-is-immediately Carrie. Many, many years later, having gone through deaths, heartbreaks, new romances, saying, ‘I’m grown-up enough to face this, because I’ve created a life that’s so magnificent for myself,'” he said about the character’s farewell.
