When it was reported he wouldn't be reprising the role, fans flooded his Instagram, begging him to reconsider.
To one comment, he replied, 'well if page six says it... it must be true,' alongside a winking emoji.
Another person said, 'Dear Mr North... why for heaven's sake you are not playing my beloved Mr Big??'
The actor replied, 'Everything changes — including announcements in the rags'
Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
One thing's for sure though, Willie Garson will be back to play Carrie's bestie, Stanford Blatch.
