Before âAnd Just Like Thatâ premiered in December 2021, Carpenter divulged that she is a big fan of Samantha Jones, the super sex-positive PR guru played by Kim Cattrall, who did not appear in Season 1 but made a cameo in its sophomore installment.
âSamantha was (the one) sexing in the city the most. With ALL THE BEST DIALOGUE. That character dies, the show as we knew it does too,â Carpenter wrote via X (formerly Twitter) in January 2021.
â#mytwocents,â she added.

“Samantha was (the one) sexing in the city the most. With ALL THE BEST DIALOGUE,” the star wrote via social media at the time. Charisma Carpenter/Instagram
Perhaps she manifested Cattrallâs triumphant â albeit brief â comeback, as well as her own spot on âAJLT.â
Production for Season 3 is currently underway.
The show made headlines last month when Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays fashionista Carrie Bradshaw, wore an odd hat that fans described as âunhingedâ â and even compared to a âpillowcaseâ â during filming.
