Cynthia Nixon praised the nonbinary standup comedian Che Diaz as a character, but said they had run their course
Cynthia Nixon has portrayed Miranda Hobbes for more than a quarter century, from her time on Sex and the City to the sequel series And Just Like That. In that time, she’s seen other characters come and go, and now, she’s able to look back on Che Diaz, the nonbinary standup comedian played by Sara Ramirez.
“They created such an amazing character — such a controversial character, but such an amazing character,” Nixon said in an interview with Variety published on Thursday, May 30. “I think they felt, and Michael Patrick felt, that that character had run its course. They came in and shook everything up, and then the arc was completed.”
“There is no exaggerating how insufferable this character is,” Daily Beast editor Kevin Fallon wrote in 2022. “To call them unwatchable is not hyperbole. ‘Cringing’ is not a strong enough verb to describe what the body reflexively does when they are on screen, like a physical defense mechanism.” King said that Che was “built for'' Ramirez, who is also nonbinary, to play. The character was inspired by Nixon, who didn’t want Miranda to fall in love with her professor, Nya , as originally planned.
