Hickey Glad to Be Back in Bed With Nixon

Sex & The City lovers John Benjamin Hickey and Cynthia Nixon have reunited to play partners on the small screen again.

Hickey played a playwright who bedded Nixon's Miranda in an episode of Sex & The City and now he's playing her lover in U.S. TV drama The Big C.

The actor says, "I hope my Big C character Sean continues to have Cynthia as a love interest. I like her.

"In the Sex & The City episode that I did, I play a playwright who has unbelievable sex with her and every time after we finish I have to get up and take a shower because I'm Catholic.

 "When Cynthia and I were back in bed in this series and the sparks are flying she said to me, 'You were the first guy I screwed on Sex & The City!'"
