Sex And The City’s Kim Cattrall responds to her absence from HBO reboot amid ‘feud’ with ex costar Sarah Jessica Parker
SEX and the City's Kim Cattrall responded to her absence from the HBO reboot And Just Like That... amid her "feud" with her ex-costar Sarah Jessica Parker.
Kim reacted to fans supporting her career after leaving the franchise as they noticeably missed her character Samantha's presence in the show.
Another posted: "And just like that... I find myself only wanting to watch anything Kim Cattrall is in. This is a Kim appreciation post."
Kim liked some her fans' supportive comments herself.
In the premiere of the show, Kim's character Samantha was scripted off the show as having moved to London after growing apart from the iconic group of New York women.
Her character Samantha snubbed Carrie, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, and her friends after being dropped as Carrie's book publicist.
KIM VERSUS SJP
Kim and Sarah haven't exactly had the best relationship over the years and the feud rages on.
Sex and the City writer and executive producer Michael Patrick King has said the relationship between SJP and Cattrall was rough from the start.
“Kim was not at the height of her career, Kristin was under her in terms of notability, Cynthia was a theatre actor - and their contracts reflected that status."
“As the show progressed, the characters, everybody grew, it became a family. Kristin, Cynthia and Sarah Jessica became one group, and Kim never joined mentally."
He continued: “Kim fought and said, ‘I’m everyone’s favourite.’ … (Parker’s) name was contractually, legally, righteously, the only name on the poster due to the fact that she was a movie star in 1998 when the series started and she did a leap to do a show about sex on (HBO), the channel that did the fights, and it doesn’t matter how popular you are.
The insider told the outlet another season is "expected to be announced soon by HBO Max."
There is also hope that Kim will be more open to joining the cast the second time around.
The source said: "There was obviously a concern that people would miss Kim and not be engaged but the response so far has been phenomenal. And for fans of Kim, the door is open for her to return. If she ever changes her mind, she can come back."
They added: "The ladies love and value her and would love to see her on the new show. The whole point of this series is to show that friendships evolve and change over time, so Kim is always welcome to come home.
'If Kim's reps called us now and said she was available – we'd book her on the first flight to New York. There's still time."
