Fans of Sex and the City were thrilled when they heard their favorite show was making a comeback. The idea of being able to watch their favorite characters in some new scenes struck a nostalgic chord and fans were definitely all-in. That was, however, before they found out that Kim Cattrall was not going to be joining her cast members in And Just Like That.
The moment it was revealed that the show would go on without Cattrall's participation, fans quickly changed their perspectives on the show and really stepped back when it came to showing their online support. Sex and the City was so perfectly cast, and the characters were all so defined that it just doesn't feel the same for viewers if the reboot isn't presenting a fully intact cast. Social media has been buzzing on this topic, and here's what fans have to say;
11 It Doesn't Feel Like 'Sex And The City' Without Her
And Just Like That hasn't even aired yet, but fans have already decided that the show doesn't feel like Sex and the City without Kim Cattrall. She was such an integral character in the original series, and it just simply doesn't feel like the same reboot without her. To many, it And Just Like That simply feels like a new show and lacks the connection to the original series.
10 They're Still Praying For Her Return
Some fans are just simply refusing to believe this is possible. Until the show actually airs without Kim Cattrall, they are holding out hope that she will make a comeback and suddenly rejoin the show. There are many fans sending out prayers and positive vibes in hopes that she will change her mind, as they simply can't fathom the reboot of Sex and the City without her.
9 It's Never Going To Work Without Her
John Oliver lent his voice to the conversation, boldly stating that this is just never going to work. Simply put, without the presence of Kim Cattrall, this reboot will just never take off. The mere idea that anyone would try to reboot the show without her is astounding to Oliver, who already predicts the failure of the program. Fans agree with his thought process entirely -they also believe this just won't happen successfully without Kim Cattrall.
8 She Really Can't Stand Sarah Jessica Parker
The honest truth reported on social media is that some fans admit to missing Cattrall but also assume that she truly couldn't stomach another minute next to Sarah Jessica Parker, anyway. They believe she wouldn't have wanted to share any set time with Sarah Jessica Parker for the recreation of this show, so it's coming as no surprise that she refused to subject herself to being in her presence.
7 It's A Firm 'No', Fans Aren't Interested If Kim's Not There
Some fans simply won't be tuning in to this show if Kim isn't on it. They're just not interested in wasting their time on a show that won't feel the same and won't give them the same satisfaction as watching Sex and the City once did, so they'd rather pass on it altogether than tune in and be disappointed. These fans won't be watching And Just Like That, at all.
6 It's Already A Mess Without Her
One of the biggest features that fans counted on Sex and the City to produce... was incredible wardrobe selections. The sad reality is that if fashion is being assessed, And Just Like That is already a fail. Carrie Bradshaw's outfits are already being targeted as being 'tacky' and 'lacking,' and Cattrall's fan club is sure that's because everything is a mess without her there. The show is already doomed without Kim, and that's where fans are parking their opinions.
5 Fair, She's Protecting Her Own Sanity
As much as fans want Kim to reprise her role, they also understand that she is likely attempting to protect her own sanity by distancing herself from drama. There was so much tension between her and Sarah Jessica Parker on the set of Sex and the City, that it's assumed she didn't want to expose herself to another prolonged length of time with the same stress levels. She was once quoted as saying; "I don't want to be in a situation for even an hour, where I'm not enjoying myself," so the decision not to join the cast for the reboot makes total sense.
4 No Seriously, Nicole Ari Parker Is Not Going To Cut It
Nicole Ari Parker has just been announced as the lady that is going to be replacing Kim Cattrall for the reboot, and fans are... well, they're completely unimpressed. It's nice that the network was able to find someone to fill the role of the character, but they don't think she can ever come close to filling Kim's shoes. According to fans, Nicole Ari Parker simply won't cut it in this role.
3 The Network Messed Up, She Brings The Drama
It's assumed that the networks are looking for ratings, and if that's their standpoint, then fans think they missed the mark by launching a Sex and the City reboot without one of its finest characters. Fans were quick to remind the executives that Kim Cattrall brings the drama, and that she is the reason so many fans tune in so regularly to get their fix. Not including her is sure to be a big mistake.
2 Don't Worry, Fans Don't Think Much Of SJP Either
Fan loyalty runs deep, and Kim Cattrall's fans really have her back. They've made it abundantly clear that if she has a problem with Sarah Jessica Parker, well, then, so do they! Fans have made a series of comments on social media, indicating that many people don't really care for Sarah Jessica Parker, and they can't blame Kim Cattrall for not wanting to be anywhere near her.
