Hang up the phone: here’s how Samantha Jones’ return to Sex and the City should actually go down

To quote Sex and the City’s Samantha Jones: “Hello, my name is fabulous.” According to Variety, Kim Cattrall, who played the show’s most iconic character for years before vowing she’d never reprise the part, will make a surprise return in the show’s fairly divisive reboot And Just Like That.

A not-altogether successful attempt to revive the spirit of Sex and the City, And Just Like That hasn’t been the same without Samantha; she’s been conspicuously absent from the brunch table from the very beginning. With Kim Cattrall adamant that she would never reprise the role again, amid wider speculation around a potential feud between the actor and her former cast-mate Sarah Jessica Parker, the show instead attempted to keep her influence alive through a series of quite irritating and tenuous iMessages.
