In the creation of “AJLT,” Parker and series writer-director Michael Patrick King consciously excluded Cattrall and had no intentions of inviting her to join the show. This decision was based on the extensive public history of tensions between Cattrall and the rest of the cast. King expressed that it is highly unlikely for Cattrall to make any future appearances on the show.
In the first episode of “AJLT,” the characters Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte find themselves discussing the absence of their fourth friend. Charlotte clarifies that Samantha is not with them, but clarifies that she is not deceased, rather she has relocated to London.
While walking home, Miranda delicately brings up the topic of Samantha’s absence to Carrie, noting that they never talk about her as if she were “dead.”
The explanation for Samantha’s absence is presented as somewhat ridiculous. Carrie reveals that Samantha cut her off when she no longer needed her publicist services for her book. This severed their friendship, resulting in unreturned phone calls and texts. Samantha then moved to London for work without informing Carrie. Carrie’s pride was hurt by the situation, as she always believed that their friendship would last forever.
Throughout the first season, Samantha makes sporadic appearances. She sends Carrie beautiful white orchids after Carrie’s husband passes away, despite Carrie’s request for no flowers. Carrie also shares a personal story on her podcast and texts Samantha about it. Samantha responds positively, indicating a slow thaw in their relationship. They eventually have a phone conversation, though it is not heard by the audience.
During the filming of her scene for the show, Cattrall mentioned in an interview that she and her partner enjoyed dry martinis, reminiscent of Samantha’s character.
Cattrall’s cameo in “AJLT” coincides with the 25th anniversary of “Sex and the City.” She described the experience as dipping her toe back in time and having a wonderful afternoon followed by a great martini.
However, Cattrall made it clear that she has no intention of further involving herself in the show, stating that her cameo was the extent of her participation.
