According to Entertainment Weekly, MacLachlan’s visit to the talk show featured a surprise virtual message from Davis, who portrayed Charlotte York. Having played the affluent couple from 2000 to 2002 during the show's third and fourth seasons, the bond between the two actors remains palpable decades later.

Davis posed a "very pressing question": which of the four main characters does he identify with most? MacLachlan confidently chose Charlotte, stating he feels much closer to her than Carrie, Miranda, or Samantha. Drew Barrymore echoed the sentiment, noting that the show’s brilliance lies in how audiences can see themselves in all four women at different life stages.

Tackling Taboos with Realism

Beyond the lighthearted fun, MacLachlan reflected on their storyline involving impotence—a daring topic at the time. He revealed he had specifically requested the writers to treat the subject with realism. "There are probably people who are going through this and don't want to talk about it," he explained, emphasizing his desire to "shine a little light" on the struggle rather than just using it for punchlines.
