• Sex and the City feud continues as Kim Cattrall’s character Samantha is erased from And Just Like That.
• Cast members openly dismiss Samantha’s importance and deny any future return.
• Longstanding tension and behind-the-scenes drama explain Kim’s absence and fan frustration.

The stars of Sex and the City looked like best friends on screen. But behind the scenes, they lived a different story. The feud between Kim Cattrall and her co-stars started more than 25 years ago. It never ended. Today, that drama still shows up in the reboot And Just Like That. In recent interviews, the cast continues to ignore and erase Samantha, Kim’s beloved character. Fans can’t help but notice. The once close-knit group now seems divided for good.

Kim Cattrall’s Samantha Slowly Disappears from the Story

Kim Cattrall played Samantha Jones, a confident, bold woman who gave the show its edge. But the reboot pushes her out more and more. Kim doesn’t appear in the show. The writers only mention her in text messages. That’s a major change. Samantha was a key part of the original four-woman team. Now, the remaining cast acts like she never really mattered. Fans feel confused and upset by this clear shift.

Kristin Davis Downplays Charlotte’s Bond with Samantha

Kristin Davis, who plays Charlotte, gave a cold response when asked about Samantha. She said Charlotte didn’t depend on her that much. Kristin added that Charlotte probably wouldn’t reach out to her now. She said Charlotte might be friendly but didn’t have strong feelings about her anymore. That surprised many viewers. Samantha often helped Charlotte through tough times in the original series. Kristin’s comments made it sound like those moments didn’t matter.

Cynthia Nixon Says Miranda Wouldn’t Contact Samantha

Cynthia Nixon also dismissed Samantha’s role in Miranda’s life. In an interview with Attitude Magazine, she said Miranda doesn’t text Samantha. She made it clear that her character wouldn’t turn to Samantha for support. Cynthia gave a flat-out “no” when asked if she wanted a text exchange between the two. Her words showed just how far the cast has gone to cut out Kim’s character. It also reminded fans of the deeper issues that exist behind the camera.

Sarah Jessica Parker Confirms Samantha’s Story Has Ended

Sarah Jessica Parker also spoke about Kim’s absence. She didn’t leave any room for Samantha’s return. As both actress and co-producer, Sarah told Elle magazine they never talked about bringing her back. She shut down the idea completely. That decision makes sense when you look at the long, bitter history between Sarah and Kim. The two have had years of tension, and their working relationship broke down long ago.

A Book Exposed the Feud That Started Years Ago

In 2008, Clifford Streit revealed many secrets about the show’s drama. He once worked with Candace Bushnell, the writer behind Sex and the City. Clifford wrote a tell-all book that never got published. But the details leaked. He said Sarah felt threatened by Kim’s strong screen presence. Cynthia and Kristin then sided with Sarah. The three of them formed a tight group and left Kim out. That created tension that never healed.

Kim Faced Isolation During Filming in Atlantic City

During a shoot in Atlantic City in 2002, the three women rented a house together. They didn’t invite Kim. Reports also said the other women avoided Kim on set. In the makeup room and at lunch, they didn’t sit with her. Kim often felt alone. She also felt angry about the huge pay gap. Sarah became an executive producer in season two. Kim said her paycheck didn’t match her value. She felt unappreciated and disrespected.

Emmy Night Showed the Divide Between the Stars

The split between Kim and the others became clear during the 2004 Emmy Awards. Photos showed Sarah, Cynthia, and Kristin sitting together. Kim sat alone. That moment confirmed the rumors of a cold relationship. Things didn’t get better when they filmed the first movie in 2008. Kim and Sarah argued over wardrobe and other details. By the second movie in 2010, they only talked during scenes. Off-camera, they stayed silent. Fans noticed the tension.

The Third Film Collapsed Because of the Drama

Plans for a third Sex and the City movie fell apart. Many blamed Kim. They said she asked for more money and made demands. In 2017, Kim gave an interview to Piers Morgan. She called the work environment “toxic.” She said the others never treated her kindly. She told the truth about what happened. Sarah later admitted the feud played a big part in the movie’s cancellation. She said the #MeToo movement gave her the courage to speak up.

Kim Accused Sarah of Using Her Family Tragedy

In 2018, Kim faced a heartbreaking loss when her brother died. Sarah offered her public support. But Kim didn’t accept it. She said Sarah used her grief to look good in public. Kim shared a strong message on Instagram. She told Sarah to stop acting like a friend. She wrote, “You are not my family. You are not my friend.” Kim wanted Sarah to stop pretending. She also posted a link to a powerful article. It exposed the “mean girls” culture behind the show.

The Reboot Moves On, but Fans Still Miss Samantha

And Just Like That moves forward without Samantha, but fans haven’t forgotten her. Kim Cattrall made the role unforgettable. Her energy helped shape the show. Erasing her feels wrong to many longtime viewers. The feud may explain her absence, but the loss is still clear. As the cast moves forward, the shadow of the past still hangs over them. The drama behind the scenes has become just as famous as the show itself.
