Actress Sarah Jessica Parker wanted to keep Samantha's return a secret for the fans, but things didn🍰't play out the way she had hoped.
During an appearance on Sirius XM's 'Radio Andy', the 58-year-old 'Sex and the City' alum revealed that✱ she had been frustrated that details of Kim Cattrall's cameo on the series' revival, 'And Just Like That', had been leaked, reports People magazine.
Parker confessed she "could no🥃t have been more upset" that the surprise reveal had beenಞ outed.
The actress also called it a "big bummer" as there would have been "fir♊eworks" when loyal 'Sex and the City' fans spotted Catꦺtrall, 66, on screen.
"Also, because we want to make s♛ure tha꧂t expectations are real," she continued.
"It's a little exchangeꦆ that is happy. It says everything about their relationship and other stuff that’s off-camera (sic🀅)."
Noting that t🃏heir respective characters Carrie Bradshaw and Samanth꧋a Jones "talk all the time," Parker said Cattrall's appearance "comes at a significant moment in the series."
As per People, earlier this mo🥂nth, Cattrall made headlines when she confirmed she would be reprising her iconic role in HBO's 'And Just Lik🌜e That'.
While appearing on 'Th😼e View' this week, the actress shared what led to her highly anti🙈cipated cameo.
"It's𒅌 very interesting to get a call fro🧔m the head of HBO saying, 'What can we do?' and I went, 'Hmm, Let me get creative'," she recalled.
"And one of those th♎i💛ngs was to get Pat Field back because I just thought that if I'm going to come back, I gotta come back with that Samantha style. I gotta push it. And we did."
As per Va🌺riety, Cattrall filmed her appearance in New York City on March 22 "without seeing or speaking with the stars of the series," including Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis as well as series creator Michael Patrick King.
The re-introduction of Samantha comes 25 years after the show's premiere on HBO and after some public tension between Parker and Cattrall, who has previously voiced her di༺sintere𝔉st in being part of future SATC stories.
