Samantha Was Sex & the City's Best Character, and These 5 Scenes Prove It
Here's a reminder of how much you really missed Samantha.
Samantha Jones is set to reunite with her Sex and the City friends, and we couldn't be happier! For a long time, it was widely believed that Kim Cattrall, who played Samantha in the hit HBO series and its two sequels, would never appear in the revival series, And Just Like That... Fortunately, whatever reasons kept the actress from reprising her role have been resolved, and Samantha has reportedly been given a cameo in the show's second season, which is expected to air on Max on 22 June.
Fans are certainly over the moon with excitement, as for many, the sexy, confident, and witty publicist was the best part of the original show and a spirit animal. Here are just a few scenes to prove it.
The time she called out sexism
'If a guy gets angry, he's a pistol. A woman, she is emotional.'
Samantha was an independent woman with strong beliefs, and she never let anyone shame her or her friends for their behaviour, outfits, or sexual preferences.
The time she proved to be a queer icon
'I'm a "try-sexual", I'll try anything once.'
As the show's most radical and adventurous character, Samantha enjoyed exploring her sexuality. One of the iconic storylines was her same-sex relationship with artist Maria Reyez. Although it ended with Samantha going straight again, she never regretted her lesbian phase, which was a revelation to many viewers.
The time she was a supportive friend
'Not sexy. Dump him immediately. Use my cell phone.'
Samantha was always a wonderful, loyal friend throughout her time on the show. No matter the situation, she was there for her friends. Just remember how she spoon-fed Carrie in Mexico.
The time she offered the truest wisdom
'Listen to me! The right guy is an illusion. Start living your lives.'
In addition to her other great qualities, Samantha was whip-smart and honest. She never tried to fool herself or her friends and shared her wisdom in the most hilarious ways.
The time she chose herself
'I'm just gonna say the thing you're not supposed to say. I love you. But I love me more.'
One of the most powerful messages Samantha sent to her fans was when she broke up with her longtime boyfriend, Smith Jared, because she felt she was losing herself in their relationship.
