Kim Cattrall, the iconic Samantha Jones from Sex and the City, has once again sparked speculation about her ongoing relationship with her former co-stars. A seemingly innocuous interaction on her recent birthday post has fans buzzing about a potential renewed feud.

The drama unfolded on Thursday when a fan commented on Cattrall's Instagram post, writing, "And Just Like that…we all know it was Sam (Kim) who carried the entire franchise." The fan's comment highlighted Samantha's pivotal role and impact on the show's success. To the surprise of many, Cattrall responded with a simple thumbs-up emoji.

This subtle gesture has sent ripples through the Sex and the City fandom. For years, rumours of a strained relationship between Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie Bradshaw), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes), and Kristin Davis (Charlotte York) have persisted. Cattrall has been vocal about feeling exploited by the franchise and has expressed reluctance to participate in the sequel series, And Just Like That….

The fan comment likely tapped into a long-held sentiment among some viewers who believe Samantha’s character was consistently the most compelling and consistently carried the narrative weight of the series. Samantha’s confident, sexually liberated persona resonated with audiences, and many felt her absence in And Just Like That… was a significant loss.

Cattrall’s thumbs-up response, while seemingly minor, has been interpreted by many as an acknowledgement of the fan’s sentiment and, potentially, a veiled dig at her former colleagues. It's a classic example of how a single emoji can ignite a firestorm of speculation and reignite old tensions.

The ongoing dynamic between Cattrall and the other Sex and the City stars remains a subject of intense public interest. While neither side has directly addressed the rumours with detailed explanations, these subtle interactions continue to fuel the narrative and keep fans guessing about the true nature of their relationship. Will we ever see Samantha return to the franchise? And what is the real story behind the behind-the-scenes tensions?

For now, the mystery continues, and Cattrall’s thumbs-up serves as another intriguing chapter in the ever-evolving saga of Sex and the City.
