Kim Cattrall’s Improvised Moment Steals the Show in “And Just Like That…” Finale
In a surprising turn of events, Kim Cattrall made a memorable appearance in the season 2 finale of “And Just Like That…” as the iconic character Samantha Jones. Fans of the hit series were thrilled to see Cattrall reprise her role and engage in a brief phone conversation with Carrie Bradshaw.
Although Samantha missed her flight to New York City for Carrie’s farewell dinner, she found a unique way to “pay her respects” to her best friend. In a touching moment, Samantha kissed her phone after saying goodbye to Carrie, a gesture that wasn’t in the script but was entirely Cattrall’s idea.
Showrunner Michael Patrick King confirmed that the improvised kiss caught everyone off guard but praised Cattrall for her brilliant acting choice. He stated, “Kim really brought Samantha back to life in that moment, and it added an extra layer of emotion to the scene.”
Although Samantha’s on-screen appearance was brief, viewers discovered that Miranda and Charlotte had filled her in on Carrie’s upcoming move. This clever plot twist left fans hopeful for future interactions between the beloved foursome.
Interestingly, Cattrall agreed to make this appearance despite her reported feud with co-star Sarah Jessica Parker. The two actresses have been publicly at odds for years, but Cattrall decided to put their differences aside and film her cameo without any contact with Parker. The decision came after she was personally requested by HBO boss Casey Bloys, who saw the potential in bringing Samantha back to the show.
The finale of season 2 not only marked Samantha’s return but also brought exciting news for fans. “And Just Like That…” was officially renewed for a third season, leaving open the possibility of Samantha making more appearances in the future.
As the season came to a close, viewers were left buzzing with excitement for what’s to come. With unexpected twists, heartfelt moments, and the return of a beloved character, “And Just Like That…” continues to captivate audiences and proves that the magic of “Sex and the City” lives on.
