First Comes Sex, Then a Wedding?
by Ben Katner
Rumors are swirling that Sex and the City will wind up its run with a walk down the aisle. But if anyone asks whether you want to bet on our favorite odd couple — sweetheart Steve and sourpuss Miranda — to "altar" their relationship, simply reply, "I don't."
"I seriously doubt that these two are going to get married," David Eigenberg, who plays the bespectacled bartender, tells TV Guide Online. "They don't seem like the marrying type to me. In this world, there are those people who live together and have a family, and if things go well, I think they might go that way."
That said, Eigenberg, who's currently appearing on Broadway in the hit baseball drama Take Me Out, acknowledges that the direction of Steve and Miranda's on-again/off-again romance could change on a dime in the ninth inning. "Steve and I don't share that many similarities," he insists, "but like, I never planned on getting married, but I'm married now, because I knew intrinsically that my wife was the marrying kind. So I went that way.
"But I didn't need to be married," he adds. "I think Steve's like that — [to us] a commitment is a commitment."
And to those Sex addicts who believe that Steve ought to be committed — to a mental institution! — for putting up with Miranda's moodiness, the actor offers this practical counterpoint: "Viewers think he's a nut and that he should move on, but he's happy to be around her whenever he can. Besides, if he moves on, then he's got a problem, because he's not on the show anymore and it would affect my bank account." So hey, maybe the Bickersons will go the distance after all. Stay tuned!
