And Just Like That… may officially be over, but I’m still finding it hard to forgive the Sex and the City reboot series for the original sin of not bringing back the show’s best character, Samantha Jones. (Yes, it’s objectively true that Kim Cattrall did not want to return, but still, didn’t Sam’s legacy deserve more than becoming the text friend?)
Well, this week just so happens to mark Cattrall’s 69th birthday, and in her honor, we’ve rounded up Sex and the City’s very best Sam-centric plotlines—from her breakup with Richard (and ensuing flyer-posting spree) to her brief stint as Brady’s babysitter, as well as more serious moments, like Samantha’s experience with cancer. Find them all below.
Samantha babysitting for Brady
I love the Sex and the City episodes that give us a little glimmer of Samantha’s compassionate side, and that’s exactly what we get when she sends a majorly stressed-out postpartum Miranda to take her hair appointment with a highly coveted stylist and volunteers to keep an infant Brady alive for an afternoon (with aplomb, it must be said). Who’d have thought that that baby would eventually have a baby?
