I guess the money won out for Kim, which I can respect. I just hope they won't make any digs at the character as some sort of balance. 

Either the money was good...or Samantha won't be humiliated in her cameo.

And helps she won't have to be in the same space as her former co workers.

Lesson to all to always know your worth.

Kim was obviously paid a fortune and given script approval. There is no way she did it without it. Good, she deserves it. 

No doubt, she was paid a ton of money, didn’t have to interact with any of her four former co-stars nor the current show runner. I wouldn’t be surprised if she got Patricia Fields to do her personal wardrobe for the scenes lol. Kim Catrall is a true G.

The show was obviously willing to accept her terms so what does that say?

Well, what does it say that the head of HBO MAX went over all of their heads to get her to sign on? 

Ooh that woman wants attention again. What happened to No being No. At least SJP didn't change her story or attitude 120 times. 

I am so thrilled about this. The article explains it's only one scene and, yes, Pat Field DID dress her for it!

Honestly, I think she may have done this more for the fans than anything else. It will be SO good to see her again even once.

Considering the fact that SJP is an executive producer of AJLT, you know she had to sign off on this. In fact, if you look at the production credits, you will see that both she and Cynthia Nixon are both executive producers, so yes, they definitely had a say and had to have agreed with the terms. Anyone who believes otherwise just doesn’t know the business of show business.

From what I have read many fans were continually asking why Samantha’s side was not included and were irritated by it.  Whether the show gets it right or not, is anyone’s guess but judging by all the criticism Season One got, the show’s producers had to do something more than just relying on the return of twice dumped Aidan to save the show’s fortunes.

Wow, I admit that I made that statement before reading the article. From what I read some time ago when KC was honored by Variety Women, Pat Fields spoke as though she had seemingly cut ties with the SATC/AJLT franchise so she had to have returned because of Catrall.

Tctc yeah to show how uncredible and manipulative she is. Sorry but No is a no. And if money can buy No off... Thats just pathetic.

This isn't the B&B threads. Go stan somewhere else.

What are you talking about? I am not stan or fan of these people and I don't care at all. I just tell what I feel. All while following the topic and rules. But people like you act like gestapo police. This is isn't your house... Don't tell people what to do.

I'll take it, even though it will probably be a blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene. KC very likely asked for certain conditions to be met, including financial compensation, script approval et al., and she got them. 

Personally, I thought it was awful the way AJLT slyly trash-talked the character of Samanatha in season 1, and during promotions, the AJLT cast were all "Kim is never coming back" -- like it was their decision to fire Catrall or something.

What all this says is that HBO Max is sufficiently concerned about AJLT's longevity and SLs. The network wants a reason for fans to tune into season 2. It was an entertaining hate-watch in season 1, but that's not sustainable season-to-season. 

Wait a minute, is it true that this is the series finale? It make sense, given the backlash towards the direction of the series but whoa, how did I overlook this development? lmao.

BBC has an article that references both a series and a season finale. Shrug.

Honestly, Im surprised it got a second season bc I went into the first thinking it was just going to be a limited series. A window into where the girls are at now. Im fine with it being 2 and done. The concept isnt meant to go on indefinitely
