Not a single turquoise ring was in sight when John Corbett made his big return as Aidan Shaw in this week's episode of the Sex and the City spin-off And Just Like That. And that was very much by design, according to showrunner Michael Patrick King.

On the latest episode of the companion podcast And Just Like That… The Writers Room, King said he wanted to ensure that Corbett came back "differently," which entailed a major style update for his character. "We gave John a makeover," King said. "We cut his hair, we took the turquoise jewelry away. We told him he had to be rock hard when he came back."
