Watch out, Peter (Jon Tenney) — Carrie's got a new man vying for her heart! The Season 1 finale of And Just Like That... "introduced" us to Franklyn. Turns out Franklyn had been right in front of Carrie all along. Sort of. He did produce the X, Y and Me podcast, after all. Article continues below advertisement In the finale, Franklyn propositions Carrie with an idea at Jackie Nee's (Bobby Lee) wedding. He thinks she has a knack for giving relationship advice, and he notes, "You've got that voice." Did we sense a hint of Big-like flirtation in the air? Source: HBO Max Carrie just doesn't feel passion yet with Peter. Article continues below advertisement Carrie' s new podcast producer on ' And Just Like That ' gets the last word ... if a hot elevator make-out session counts as the last word, that is. After Carrie wraps up recording the first episode of her new solo podcast Sex and the City (which sounds like a fantastic name for a TV show, just saying), Franklyn congratulates Carrie on a job well done. Their palpable chemistry simply can't be contained in the elevator, so they simply kiss each other passionately instead. Make no mistake, it's not like Carrie has completely moved on from Big (Chris Noth). However, she did finally feel a sense of closure after she spread Big's ashes from the Pont des Arts bridge in Paris, dressed to the nines in a Valentino couture dress. This is Carrie Bradshaw after all! At this point in the game we really don't know much about Franklyn past the fact that he makes Carrie's heart flutter a bit more than Peter does.
