Although Cattrall’s character is physically absent throughout the series, her storyline is still present in the show as Carrie sends texts to Samantha.
"Samantha's not gone. Samantha's present, and I think was handled with such respect and elegance. She wasn't villainized," Parker added. "She was a human being who had feelings about a relationship, so I think we found a way to address it which was necessary and important for people that loved her."
The revival series shares the story of the show’s 3 main characters - Carrie, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) - living in New York City while they manage their friendship and love life in their 50s.
In November, Parker said she was not just responsible for bringing her character back, but also of her fashionable possessions as well.

From fur coats to tiny briefs to the coffee table in the living room, the actress kept every item “packed according to season and episode and scene” in her storage.
The furniture, which was part of Carrie’s bachelorette pad, has been used to recreate the apartment on the show’s set, though fans of the series and subsequent films know that Parker’s character was living elsewhere with her late husband, Mr. Big, when last we saw her.
