Last October, Cattrall appeared on the show Life Stories in the UK with DailyMail.com Editor-at-Large Piers Morgan. When asked if she were friends in real life with the SATC gang, the 61-year-old was adamant that they weren’t.
‘We’ve never been friends. We’ve been colleagues and in some ways it’s a very healthy place to be because then you have a clear line between your professional life and relationship and your personal,’ she said.
Her comments came after DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that plans for a third Sex and the City movie had been shelved over claims that Cattrall had made several ‘outrageous’ demands of the studio just weeks before filming was due to begin.
Cattrall then hit back during her interview with Piers, insisting she simply hadn’t wanted to do a third movie, and claiming that she had ‘never asked for any money or any projects’, while also commenting on her professional relationship with each of the other three stars of the hit series.

It’s been suggested that Cattrall’s character Samantha Jones could be recast, with some suggesting Sharon Stone could play the part.
Sarah Jessica Parker admitted to Andy Cohen that Stone was ‘a really interesting idea,’ but also suggested that Samantha could be removed from the series altogether.
‘I think once everybody has thoroughly experienced the grieving process, then Michael Patrick King can go back and sort of ponder what he might want to do and how he might want to proceed,’ she said in response to whether they might simply kill Samantha off.
Anyone with information about her missing brother is asked to contact Blackfalds RCMP at 403-885-3300.
