Rosie O’Donnell was seen filming on the set of And Just Like That… for the first time in a scene with regular Cynthia Nixon.
On Friday, the 62-year-old comedian joined Nixon, 58, in the heart of New York City as they filmed what appeared to be an emotional scene amid a busy crowd.
In a touching moment in Times Square, the couple was seen sharing a lot of physical contact as they held hands and were later seen wrapped in a warm embrace.
This comes as fans speculate that O’Donnell’s character Mary, who little is currently known about, will be Miranda’s new love interest in the upcoming third season.
While filming the on-screen lovers-to-be, Nixon’s real-life wife, Christine Marinoni, was also seen on set and showing her support.
It was previously announced that O’Donnell would be joining the all-star cast in early May following reports of the departures of Karen Pittman and Sara Ramirez.

In January, DailyMail.com exclusively reported that Ramírez was officially removed from the show after the creators decided that his divisive character, Che Díaz, was “a waste of airtime” and “annoying” fans.
Deadline first reported that Pittman, who played Professor Nya Wallace on the Sex and the City spinoff, would be leaving her role after two seasons due to scheduling conflicts.
For their first scene, O’Donnell joined Nixon in Times Square and the pair filmed with a bag of candy in their clasped hands.
The reboot series’ official Instagram page also shared a photo of O’Donnell posing for a sweet photo alongside Nixon.
Referencing O’Donnell’s graphic T-shirt featuring images from the critically acclaimed Broadway musical about the untold story of the Witches of Oz, the caption read: “A wicked good night in Times Square.”
In the snap, the actresses were amidst busy crowds and bright billboards, but they grabbed attention with their radiant smiles.

On May 1, it was announced that the talk show host would be joining Nixon, SJP, and Kristin Davis on the upcoming third season of AJLT.
Since the exciting news, there has been much speculation that O’Donnell’s character Mary would be the new love interest for Nixon’s Miranda.
Last season, Miranda dated Ramírez’s character, Che Díaz, until they parted ways with the series and the actor was kicked off the show.
The Sex and the City reboot series was renewed for a second season last summer, and production on the next season began that same month.
As filming is still ongoing, a premiere date for the series has not yet been announced, but it is expected to launch sometime in 2025.
