Samantha talks about her fears

Sometimes reassurance doesn't always do the trick. Releasing never fails.

[@flamingkitten1]

The moment she tells Carrie to stop trying to think on the bright side and let her be scared was so magical. Like sometimes you need to release the darkness

[@koolaidman6251]

That was all Kim Cattrall -- when the directors floated the idea of her character getting cancer, she wanted it to be REAL, not some "sickness of the week" where she looks fantastic in her hospital bed and people weep and "learn something" and then they all go on with their lives. She insist that it be respectful and real. Kim Cattrall is a genius!

[@mescc1247]

such a great character! perfect scene!

[@KhadaJhin04]

I feel that part of the frustration I have with my family and a lot of other people do as well with their loved ones is not establishing if they want to complain and be heard or if they want to complain and solutions before talking about their fears and problems, it's important to know beforehand what the person is really asking for, consolation, solutions, humor, etc, and there's no shame in asking before hand.

[@potocatepetl]

That is often the attitude people take when someone with cancer (or a similarly pessimistic diagnosis) gets. It is not a Carrie thing, it is a majority thing. Believe me... I got that when I was sick and I was tempted to do it to others. People generally think that thinking positive helps but it just doesn't.

[@SapphireSloane]

Considering their real life history, I felt like this scene was Kim’s final plea for SJP to be kinder to her and apologize. And SJP just messed up the opportunity. Even though I know Kim won’t be in the new chapter, it’s going to suck not to have her there. But despite employment endeavors, I really hope SJP makes things right with Kim. When I first started watching SATC I was watching for Carrie, but the older I get, the more I realize her friends are the ones worth watching, especially Samantha and Miranda.

I still think they should have had Samantha pass away from breast cancer. It would have been more believable and relatable than the current story line. And, it could maybe inspire women to do self-breast exams… just a thought.

[@user-vc8qf7ho2h]

I think Kim said in one of the interviews that she urged the writers not to kill Samantha off; I believe her words were that she didn't want Samantha to get punished for choosing not to have children (since childless women are more likely to get breast cancer, or at least that's how they portrayed it in the show). I myself am glad they let her survive, for the same reason Kim mentioned...

She was but not in this scene. She does have her good moments, but I agree she is very self absorbed. But then I stop to think, she narrated the entire series and knew every detail about her friends lives and everything that was happening with them so in a way her life revolved around her friends. But you could also see that as selfish in that she used her friends for her column and personal entertainment. So yea back to selfish lmao.

Will you be disfigured? Will the boyfriend, partner, spouse find you desirable if you lose your hair or your breasts? Will your friends be so freaked that they distance themselves or disappear forever when you need them most because your life is so unbearably real and forces them to imagine how their lives would be if it happens to them?
