Sarah Jessica Parker, who has played Carrie since SATC's first episode in 1998, said the character "dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years." But she now feels that that part of her life is "complete."

In a lengthy Instagram post, Parker wrote a tribute to her character. She penned: "She changed homes, time zones, boyfriends, her mind, her shoes, her hair, but never her love and devotion to New York City."

"She devoted herself to hats, books, shoes, friends and the promise of a new day in her beloved city and the people she treasured most. She has worn shame, pride, honor, optimism and literally countless dresses, skirts, tutus.

"Held onto hands, hopes and the very best of people. Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte, there will never be better friends and what great fortune for Carrie to come to know and love Seema and LTW, most divine new connections.

"Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all.

"I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her.

"The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion. Therefore the most sentimental and profound gratitude and lifetime of debt. To you all.

"MPK and I together recognized, as we have in the past, this chapter complete. AJLT was all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent of 380 that includes all the brilliant actors who joined us.

"I am better for every single day I spent with you. It will be forever before I forget. The whole thing. Thank you all."

She signed off: "I love you so. I hope you love these final two episodes as much as we all do. Rabbit rabbit. Xxx, SJ."
