Sarah Jessica Parker breaks silence about Kim Cattrall’s return: ‘Joy’

nypost.com:

exclusively reported on May 31 that the Cattrall would be returning as Samantha Jones in season two of the Max series, which is set to premiere Thursday.Now, Parker has declared Cattrall’s allegedly brief appearance was “really fun and exciting and certainly nostalgic,” according to a new Daily Mail report.“It’s been a lot of joy,” Parker, 58, added.Rumors of a catty “mean girls” feud between the “Hocus Pocus” alum and Cattrall, 66, have swirled for years.Other members of the cast of the “Sex and the City” sequel — including Kristin Davis (who plays Charlotte York) and Cynthia Nixon (who reprises her role as Miranda Hobbes) — have also broken their silence on Cattrall’s much-buzzed about return.Davis, 58, told the Telegraph last week that while she understands that fans are upset Cattrall doesn’t have a bigger role in the spinoff, she doesn’t have any strong feelings about it.“I’m not gonna waste energy on it.

I can’t change anybody. I do understand fans’ feelings — that they’re upset … I wish I could fix it, but I can’t. It’s not in my power,” the “Couple’s Retreat” star said.Meanwhile, Nixon, 57, had a lot to say about Cattrall’s shocking return, telling Vanity Fair in a candid new interview that the actress is “not something that we speak about.” The “Gilded Age” actress then seemingly suggested Cattrall left the “SATC” cast “walking around on eggshells with someone who’s unhappy.”Nixon also stressed that “AJLT” has a medley of characters who are dissimilar from the parent series.“It felt very different also because we have these new amazing characters, and we’re older and our fictional children are now largely grown,” Nixon explained.
