“I’m curious to see how they’ll write off Samantha”

There’s a scene in the show when Charlotte, Miranda, Samantha and Carrie are sitting at a dinner, and Charlotte is trying to cheer them up after someone’s had a break-up, and says, “Maybe our girlfriend­s are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with.” And that hit home. I loved the friendship between the four girls.

I watched the movie first and then discovered the show. I got curious and watched the first episode, and fell in love with all four of them. I’ve watched the show at least 20-25 times because it becomes relatable when you’re in your 20s, what with their dating patterns and ours, a global problem, clearly! I love Miranda the most as she’s a romantic, but also a practical person. She’s a mix of Carrie, Charlotte and Sam, who are dreamy and not mature enough in their 30s! But Sam was the most loyal friend of them all – I’ll miss her.

Ever since I found out that Kim Cattrall (Samantha) and Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie) don’t get along three years ago, that magic the show brought diminished a bit. Whenever I watched SATC after that, I found myself trying to see if I could see signs of it. But I can’t wait for the new season.

I’m curious to see how they’ll write off Samantha. I think they will say she moved to Denmark and got her love story with Jerry ‘Smith’ Jerrod from the second movie.
