Sara Ramirez has insisted their โ€˜And Just Like Thatโ€ฆโ€˜ character, Che Diaz, is โ€œnot here to be likedโ€.

The new addition to the โ€˜Sex and the Cityโ€™ reboot believes that Che โ€“ Sarah Jessica Parkerโ€™s character Carrie Bradshawโ€™s boss on the podcast they feature on together โ€“ would be able to come up with a โ€œwitty rebuttalโ€ to all the criticism aimed their way.

The 46-year-old star told The New York Times: โ€œI imagine Che would have something very witty and silly and funny as a rebuttal; something that ultimately reminds everyone that they are human; something with a sprinkling of self-deprecation, because I think they know theyโ€™re a narcissist. And maybe just a little reminder that no oneโ€™s perfect.โ€

They went on to say that they couldnโ€™t personally speak to the criticism as they think the writers who created them would have the best response about the stand-up comicโ€™s polarizing nature.

Sara said: โ€œMichael Patrick King [the showrunner of โ€˜And Just Like Thatโ€ฆโ€™] and the writersโ€™ room would probably answer that best since they wrote the character of Che Diaz.โ€

The โ€˜Greyโ€™s Anatomyโ€™ alum is โ€œreally proudโ€ of their work on the show and helping to craft a โ€œcharacter who is a human beingโ€.

Sara said: โ€œIโ€™m really proud of the representation that weโ€™ve created. We have built a character who is a human being, who is imperfect, whoโ€™s complex, who is not here to be liked, whoโ€™s not here for anybodyโ€™s approval. Theyโ€™re here to be themselves.โ€

They went on to distance themselves from Miranda Hobbesโ€™ (Cynthia Nixon) new love interest.

Sara continued: โ€œI donโ€™t recognise myself in Che.โ€

Che was not always going to be a lover for Miranda โ€“ who has been going through a dry spell with her husband Steve Brady (David Eigenberg) for years โ€“ as they were going to have Nya, Mirandaโ€™s law professor, played by Karen Pittman.

Cynthia said in the โ€˜And Just Like Thatโ€ฆ. The Documentaryโ€™: โ€œSo originally, when Michael was sort of trying to think about what would happen in our season, he talked about Nya, Mirandaโ€™s professor, being the romantic relationship. Nya was a straight character and Mirandaโ€™s a straight character and I was like, โ€˜Well that doesnโ€™t sound very sexy at all.โ€™ Do you know what I mean?โ€
