universe. On Wednesday, author Candace Bushnell, who penned the book that the original HBO series was based off, took to Twitter to poke fun at the show's Max reboot,, recasting actor Peter Hermann in a recent role. In an episode that aired earlier this month, Hermann played George, an app designer who has a short-lived romance with Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) after she causes him to crash his bike. Bushnell pointed out that Hermann also played the cameo role of David in the original series, a Jewish man that Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) is set up with right before she reunites with her now-husband, Harry Godlenblatt (Evan Handler). «The fact that Carrie’s app designer boyfriend is the same guy that Charlotte was set up with at the synagogue in season six really speaks to the lack of eligible bachelors in New York City,» Bushnell quipped, sharing photos of Hermann in both roles.
