Misleadingly compared to Pulp Fiction, this offbeat comedy really has more in common with the multicharacter films of Alan Rudolph.

"Since the [Carrie] character and the actress both grew up on the show, they are both an integral part of our history, on and off the screen. The fans should look forward to a tremendous story that picks up where Carrie left off. We will most certainly be addressing the imminent questions about Carrie's past relationships." When last seen in 1999, Carrie left town to be with Dr. Mike Horton (Roark Critchlow). Mike won't be back, confirms the rep, but his a read more
