Edel Coffey: Will the return of Kim Cattrall give And Just Like That... the kickstart it needs?

"...while Carrie was undoubtedly the dramatic centre of SATC, Samantha remains the iconic, sex-positive, and determinedly independent woman that the show promoted itself as being about..."

And Just Like That: doesn't quite capture the SATC magic, by all accounts

Kim Cattrall is a bit like the Yoko Ono of Sex and the City (SATC). It’s all down to her that the band broke up. Never mind the fact that Kim was actually in the band, the narrative still says that it’s her fault that there was no third SATC movie, her fault that And Just Like That... was missing the va-va-voom of its predecessor.

The reasons why the band broke up were put down to Cattrall’s ‘feud’ with fellow-SATC star Sarah Jessica Parker (SJP), despite the fact that Cattrall regularly spoke about other issues, like her disappointment with how Samantha’s storyline for the third movie was shaping up (it centred on her becoming a desperate rather than empowered ‘cougar’) or the fact that she felt the working environment was toxic and bullying.
