In addition, rumors (and some statements by the actress) maintained that she did not have a good relationship with other members of the series. In particular, with her protagonist, Sarah Jessica Parker. Despite the close bond that she attached to her characters, this did not seem to be the same in real life.

Over time, and after the closure of the original franchise, each one followed its path in parallel to the other. Years later, with the return of the women’s group for HBO, Cattrall was not involved in the project either.

Will they recover their lost friendship? Will they say goodbye forever? Everything is possible, although seen what has been seen, the bets could lean more towards the second option.
