And Just Like That stars hope Kim Cattrall cameo doesn't "disappoint" fans
Kristin Davis said that "maybe hopes have been lifted" higher than the cast intended when it comes to Cattrall's cameo.
As we approach the start of And Just Like That season 2, it seems there's only one thing that fans can talk about - Kim Cattrall's cameo, which has already been announced for the end of the season.
It was revealed earlier this month that Cattrall will reprise her role as Samantha Jones in the season finale, seen having a phone conversation with Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw.
However, speaking with the Mail Online, stars Parker and Kristin Davis have addressed the cameo, calling it "exciting" but admitting that fans' "hopes" may have been lifted too high.
Parker told the publication: "We've been really thoughtful about the ways in which we've, you know, approached characters that hadn't been around, the ways we have invited actors back and it's been, you know, really fun and exciting and certainly nostalgic, but I think more than that, it's been a lot of joy."
When asked whether Cattrall's cameo means "closure" or "resolution" to the much-talked-about feud between Cattrall and Parker, Charlotte star Davis said: "I think that sometimes you really do have friends in life who are very different from you. And I think that's great. Right?

She continued: "And I think that's what was was great about the four of us, because obviously, Charlotte had a really different perspective than Samantha, and Carrie and Miranda at times. All of us represented different points of view at different times, and sometimes argued, you know, and sometimes didn't just like friends do.

"I don't know that there's a closure or resolution necessarily, those are like, kind of big things that I don't know that we were going for. We just thought that, you know, it would be fun for the fans to have a little bit of Samantha because we know that they miss her and she's a great character.
"I don't know that we're even trying for closure at this point, or resolution. I think we just thought you know, here is, you know, our character who's been gone. And we know people miss her and Carrie misses her. And wouldn't this be great to have a little bit of her, you know, that's what we wanted.
"And then I think maybe hopes have been lifted, possibly higher than that. And that was not our intention. So I hope people aren't disappointed."

Another And Just Like That cast member, Harry Goldenblatt star Evan Handler, also responded to Cattrall's cameo, saying that he thinks it is "great".
He added: "Apparently, [her cameo] was shot in the garage somewhere with no contact with anybody, so the only place I have to welcome her is into my living room when it airs on television."
