*SPOILERS AHEAD*

The new SATC series was blasted for completely changing Miranda’s personality and outlook on life.

Fans said the writers made her do a “complete” turnaround, making her hardly recognizable from the character she was in the original.

The big change in personality led to Miranda ditching both her husband Steve and a big internship to follow new love interest Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez) to Los Angeles.

This all left viewers majorly confused, and left one upset that the the show “didn’t really fill me with the nostalgia I hoped for of returning to this world.”

Another angry Twitter user sarcastically asked: “So Miranda's going to throw away an internship, and everything she's ever worked for, to follow Che to LA to work on some s***ty Netflix pilot? GRRRR”

A third said: “Woke up early to watch the finale of #andjustlikethat. I want to punch Miranda in the face. That’s all.”

“Miranda going to LA to be an accessory to Che after she was so harsh to Carrie when she went to Paris for Petrovsky is exactly why people take issue with this series,” one annoyed viewer explained.

The original plans for the finale had been slightly changed prior to its release, though not to Miranda's storyline.

Star Chris Noth, who played Carrie's love Big, was cut from episode following sex abuse allegations.

He had filmed scenes with leading star and executive producer Sarah Jessica Parker for flashbacks in Paris.

Three weeks after Chris was accused of sexual assault by multiple women, which the actor has denied, HBO bosses decided to scrap the scenes.

TVLine said sources from And Just Like That’s creative team decided that the minimal footage shot in Paris was not integral to the scene.

An insider shared that the finale was not “locked” at the time the allegations against Chris were made public.

The cut scenes featured SJP as Carrie, venturing to Paris’ Pont des Arts bridge to scatter Big’s ashes into the Seine river.

While she did end up going to Paris in the finale to spread the ashes, the sequence was also due to include a fantasy element in which Big - who was killed off in And Just Like That’s premiere episode - spookily appears.

Before his sex abuse scandal he had teased that Big would return.

Chris said: "I think there may be something. I can’t tell you what, but...there may be a little...there may be a haunting that happens.

"I don’t know. I don’t want to get in trouble."

In October, SJP and her former on-screen love interest were photographed filming the And Just Like That... scene in Paris.

They were seen shooting on the Passerelle des Arts, which is a bridge that crosses over the River Seine.

Aside from Chris' role in the finale being cut, he has also since been fired from his role on CBS’ The Equalizer.
