Sex and the City spin-off And Just Like That staged another big character comeback on Thursday as Aidan Shaw arrived back in Carrie Bradshaw's life - but fans are already worried that she will break his heart again.

Aidan, played by John Corbett, featured in Sex and the City between 2000 and 2003 as one of Carrie's (Sarah Jessica Parker) most popular love interests.

The couple even got engaged, but Carrie famously broke his heart by cheating on him and leaving him for Mr Big (Chris Noth).
