stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall couldn't be closer. After all, the actors spent six seasons of the HBO sitcom playing TV besties Carrie Bradshaw and Samantha Jones. But behind the scenes, a feud was bubbling between the pair; one which would soon burst out into public and get a whole lot messier., that couldn't be further from the case.
stated that Sarah and Kim fell out over money when SJP was given an executive producer title in the second season, which increased her salary to $300,000. Upon finding this out, Kim apparently tried to negotiate for a higher salary - but this didn’t go down well, as apparently the other lead actresses ‘wouldn’t even sit with at meal times.
Kim is also said to have been disappointed with writers initial plans for Samantha's storyline in the second film and the planned third - the plot was said to have Brady, Miranda's 14-year-old son, sext Samantha – and even suggested Samantha as a character should simply be recast. But who would ever be able to take Samantha's place? Honey, don't be ridiculous.
But while fans hoped Samantha might be sticking around, Kim poured water on this idea. In an interview at the time, she described her brief return as 'dipping my toe back in time and having a wonderful afternoon', but stressed that this was 'as far as I’m gonna go'.
