Sex and The City was Tuccillo's first TV writing gig (she was 38 when she started writing for the show) and she's the woman behind some central moments - including Berger dumping Carrie by Post-It note and the gutting phrase "he's just not that into you".

"I'm so proud of 'not that into you,'" she said. "It's harsh, but it helped women get out of silly situations. It still does. I think it sets a lot of women free to move on... and Berger breaking up with Carrie on a Post-It note, it was horrible, but it was so funny. And i'ts not that far out, I mean, there are so many horrible ways that people break up with each other. And this was pre-text message! Now there are even more shitty ways to break up with someone!"

Her explosive storylines also saw Carrie have an affair with Big when he was married to Natasha and she was dating Aidan.

"If you sleep with a guy who has a girlfriend, it's his fault but it's her fault, too," Tuccillo says. "I believe you have a responsibility to other women. Karmically, cosmically, the woman whose husband I'm sleeping with, I'm wronging her. Maybe it's a woman power thing, but I don't think women should steal each other's men. There is no integrity there. You should go find a good single man."

And the best way to do this, she says, is, "go to Tinder! I'm so excited about Tinder. I don't do it, but everyone I know who's done it is having success with it. It might be an easy way to meet people."
