Kim Cattrall has reacted to her notable absence from the highly-anticipated Sex and The City revival, And Just Like That, in true Samantha Jones fashion.
The series, which premiered last Thursday, sees Sarah Jessica Parker return to her lead role as Carrie Bradshaw alongside Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes and Kristin Davis as Charlotte York-Goldenblatt.
Naturally, fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the long-awaited first episode, and the 65-year-old actress couldn’t help but like a couple of tweets that expressed their support for the star.
One viewer wrote: ‘Kim Cattrall didn’t return to SATC because her scatting career is finally taking off.’
Another agreed and replied: ‘And just like that… I find myself only wanting to watch anything @KimCattrall is in. This is a Kim appreciation tweet.’
In episode one of the reboot, Samantha’s absence was immediately addressed, with it being explained that the PR maven moved to London after falling out with Carrie.

‘It’s kind of like she’s dead, we never talk about her,’ Carrie tells Miranda early in the scene. ‘She stopped returning my calls.’
‘Her pride got damaged,’ adds Miranda.
Despite Carrie’s attempts to mend the friendship, she confesses that she was left hurt by her former friend, and said: ‘I thought I was more to her than an ATM.’

Kim previously explained why she would not be returning to the show saying in 2019: ‘It’s a “no” from me. You learn lessons in life and my lesson is to do work with good people and try and make it fun.’
Further back in 2017, Kim confirmed that she had closed the door on Samantha for good, and claimed Sarah ‘could have been nicer’ when she turned down the chance to appear in a third Sex and The City movie.
And Just Like That… airs on Sky Atlantic and is available to stream on NowTV.
