Sarah Jessica Parker addressed Kim Cattrall’s absence in “And Just Like That…” once again Monday as she chatted to Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live”.

In the “Sex and the City” spinoff show, Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw texts Cattrall’s Samantha Jones in the last episode of the first season to ask if she wanted to meet for a cocktail.

Cattrall declined to take part in the series. As Cohen said he liked the way Cattrall’s absence was handled on the show, Parker insisted she couldn’t take any credit for that as it was the work of showrunner and head writer Michael Patrick King.

The actress added, “Samantha is not gone. The actress that played the role is no longer playing that role, but people aren’t absent from your life when you don’t want them to be. “You know, and I thought that in typical Michael Patrick fashion, he threaded it through with grace and dignity and respect and love and affection for that character. “I thought it mimicked many friendships that challenge each other and struggle and want to remain connected in a way, because it’s too painful.” READ MORE: Sarah Jessica Parker Doesn’t Want Kim Cattrall To Reprise Her Role As Samantha On ‘And Just Like That’ Cohen also asked Parker the question many viewers were wondering at the time Mr.
