He previously said he would be returning in a “very exciting” way. “I think he might appear in a quite a few [episodes]. I like all those people [in the cast], they’ve been nice to me,” he had told Page Six.

However, showrunner Michael Patrick King is clearing the air.

“The fact of the matter is, we never said anything about Aidan,” he said, via IndieWire.

“We always try to be very restrained and look at the reality of what people are experiencing and it has nothing to do with Aidan coming or not coming. It really just felt like this was a lot for Carrie. This season was a lot. We wanted to get her through this and into the light — the last episode is called, ‘Seeing the Light.’ We wanted to get her out.”

“[Aidan’s return] is a big storyline that everybody at home wrote that we had never intended,” he continued.
