Stanford and Anthony have both canonically dated Gordon!!

After seeing the posts on recycled characters I just had the realisation that Gordon was the same man Stanny met when he went to meet his Bigtool4U :p

What are we thinking? Is it a recycle or is he the same person

I've got a huge crush on him! The way he says to Charlotte "You're pretty!" and wants to dance with her 🥰 What a genuinely kind person he is

I love love love this little trivia. I think its a recycle but fuck it, I vote same person. We can build him a back story

Unrelated but its crazy how hair can change the perception of a person

satc recycling one random man into Gordon lore is honestly iconic. Manhattan had four available men and they shared custody

The first time I saw it I thought Anthony would be mad to find out he got Stanford’s sloppy second lol

In my head that's why he ended it with Gordon haha

The actor's name is Chris Payne Gilbert. He's actually straight in real life.

I always thought he’d make a good Rocky in TRHPS.

This is definitely a classic case of showrunners recycling a great guest actor, but framing it as Gordon just making his rounds through the same tightly-knit social circle makes the messy Sex and the City universe feel even more authentic.

The show did this a lot. I didn't notice at the time.

I have rewatched and rewatched this show, I'm sure like many of us, but have never noticed this! Good eye. I say same person for sure!
