THIS is why I love reading your pieces, Evan. It's like you're inside my head!! And the subtle Succession refrences are taking me out. It absolutely DID NOT make sense, dramaturgically, to cast the #1 guy in this group to the wayside.
Evan I don't think SJP or MPK had to "agree" to have Kim back. At the end of the Variety article which seems many people didn't read it states the CEO of HBO Max personally asked Kim to come back seemingly conceding to every demand she rightfully made.
He knows how the fans still want her back, how many people hate watch the show to rip it to shreds, how many people are team Kim Catrall, how Samantha absence is so impactful and that SJP nice girl mask have been ripped off.
I'll admit it: I'm a Hate Watcher. I screamed, I yelled, I screenshotted and complained with a good friend. And knew I'd grit my teeth and bear it again because I can't stand to be left out.
But I actually wish Cattrall had stuck to her guns; what is the point of a glimpse of Samantha not interacting with the other ladies? I assume they paid her an amount she felt was worth it, and she had the power to request Pat Field as well. Dare I hope the scripts have improved? Or maybe just that her lines were written well enough? (Can you ask MPK if he took any of that criticism to heart?)
