And Just Like That: Plot Hole Chaos as Character Dies Twice!

And Just Like That fans have reacted with disdain after writers finally provided a bizarre explanation for killing a beloved character off twice.

"Sex and The City Spinoff Series 'And Just Like That' Left Fans Reeling with Bizarre Plot Twist: Did Lisa Todd Wexley's Dad Really Die... Twice?

The Scholary Note is shocked! As fans of the hit HBO Max series "And Just Like That," a spinoff of the iconic "Sex and The City" franchise, we're still reeling from last Thursday's jaw-dropping episode. In what can only be described as a mind-boggling plot twist, show writers killed off Lisa Todd Wexley's father... again!

But wait, there's more! eagle-eyed viewers were quick to point out that this wasn't the first time Lisa's dad had bitten the dust. In Season One, Episode Two, we saw Lisa (played by Nicole Ari Parker) sharing a tearful phone call with Charlotte about her father's passing, saying: "I was exactly the same when my father died last year." Fast-forward to last Thursday's episode, and Lisa is seen dealing with yet another emotional goodbye as she says goodbye to her dad... again!

The show has been panned over its bizarre plotholes and 'cartoonish acting' - pictured Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw

Fans were left scratching their heads, demanding answers from show writers. And in a move that only added fuel to the fire, the production team has confirmed that the original dead dad mentioned in Season One was actually LTW's stepfather! Yes, you read that right - the same father who had already met his maker in the previous season.

The Scholary Note spoke with fans of the show, and their reactions were nothing short of incredulous. "I'm still trying to wrap my head around this," said one fan. "They basically killed off Lisa's dad twice... that's just ridiculous!" Another added: "This show is a hot mess! I can't believe they thought we'd buy into this nonsense."

But it wasn't just fans who were left feeling confused and frustrated - even the show's own writers seemed to be struggling to keep track of their characters' backstories. As one viewer pointed out, Lisa's father was actually seen in Season Two, walking around and living his best life! Talk about a plot hole!

The Sex and The City spinoff series, which is currently in its third season, showed Lisa Todd Wexley's father dying during Thursday's episode - again

Reddit users also joined the chorus of criticism, calling out the show for its sloppy mistake. "This show is a joke!" wrote one user. "They can't even keep track of their own characters' backstories... what's next? Are they going to say Carrie and Big are still married or something?"

Despite the backlash, it seems that the show's writers are sticking by their decision to kill off Lisa's dad twice. As we reported earlier, in an attempt to salvage the situation, the team behind "And Just Like That" has issued a statement explaining the bizarre plot twist.

But will this damage control effort be enough to save the show from its own self-inflicted wounds? Only time will tell. In the meantime, fans are left to wonder: what's next for Lisa Todd Wexley and her family?

In season one, episode two, Lisa is seen talking to Charlotte after Big's shock death about her father's passing, saying: 'I was exactly the same when my father died last year'

In other news, the latest episode of "And Just Like That" saw Aidan returning to New York City after his son Wyatt agreed to attend a wilderness program in Wyoming. But things took an unexpected turn when Aidan changed his mind at the airport, leading to some major drama with Wyatt's ex-wife Kathy (Rosemarie DeWitt) and Carrie. And if that wasn't enough, Aidan then dropped a bombshell on Carrie, revealing that he slept with Kathy! Talk about a love triangle!
