The actress played the iconic characters for several years on the HBO series as well as the sequel movies. However, when it was announced the show was returning for a sequel series titled And Just Like That, Cattrall didn’t rejoin the original cast. Sadly, many fans weren’t surprised. This was mostly due to her feud with and co-star Sarah Jessica Parker over the years.
