From the article:
I really hope that she is able to develop her sitcom idea. I would watch that!

What are you interested in doing that you haven’t done as an actor?

I’d like to do my own sitcom. I think that would be a lot of fun with an audience — playing a woman my own age. I have a very specific idea of what I want to do.

How far along is it?

It’s just in my head. I’m fascinated about what happens to women once they reach the top of their profession. You have all this life experience and nobody is listening, and you’ve really got something to say. Am I being too cryptic?

You are most welcome! I heard about the article because I’m making my way through a podcast called Sex & the Cidiots, which has two late 30s guy comedians who have never watched the show start watching it and do a recap episode by episode. I think they started it once the reboot was announced but I only recently discovered it and up to when Charlotte meets Trey in Season 3. It’s really funny.

I can’t stop thinking about how bad that suggested plot line about Brady and Samantha is. <SHUDDER>

Yes, to quote Alexis and David: EWWW

Is there beef between Starr and SJP?

I’m guessing there must be! He and Patricia Field knew full well the message appearing with Kim C would send.

Starr, Field, and Bushnell were NOT involved with the AJLT project. I'm thinking they all were pretty opposed to AJLT continuing the franchise and didn't want to beat this dead horse.

I particularly love this:

“What have you been doing during the pandemic?”

“I voted and I lost my health insurance. I’m a true American.”

Great interview! She's hilarious and a class act

That was a good interview, and I love her idea about a show about a woman her age. I also like seeing pictures of her, a beautiful woman, with actual wrinkles.

I thought that too! She looks great. Older, but still looks like herself. That seems pretty rare these days.

I can see how she would not be interested in a movie script that focuses on Carrie grieving (the death of Big), after being in a movie that focused on Carrie grieving (the Big marriage failure).

Is SJP terrible?
I always thought KC looked bad in that feud, but now I’m rethinking it.

The big names - Catrell, Star, Fields, and Bushnell - were not involved in the new series. Let's read the room.

Frankly, I had no idea Bushnell was not involved in AJLT. I had just assumed she was involved at some level, perhaps with the story arc and character development. It seems that Bushnell probably retained the rights to the title "Sex and The City," but HBO retained rights to the characters themselves. So that's how they were able to develop a new story around the characters Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, Big etc. But you'll see that they are very careful in the press to not call it "Sex and The City."

I didn't notice any of this until now. But in hindsight it's very clear that the bad blood with SJP extends to more people than just Kim Catrell.

That would explain why it wasn’t just more seasons of Sex & the City but had a new series title. I “couldn’t help but wonder” why this was all along.

I don't know. SJP seems so universally beloved by other celebs outside of KC. I doubt there are clear good guys and villians in this scenario.

+1 She is the lead and a producer of the show, tensions were inevitable.

^^but I respect the hell out of Kim C for moving on and not demeaning herself or the character she loved with such low-rent storylines.

She's a power player in the industry, people will not go out of their way to mess with her or speak badly about her.

Also, there's no upside to publicly bashing a specific person for your personal grievance. No one will come out to say "SJP is horrible person" - frankly it comes across as unhinged and you get a reputation as a loose cannon. Studios don't want to work with those types of people. So, instead, you get these overly saccharine praises.

Ugh.

Ugh indeed.

“One of my burning passions about Season 2 is Che,” showrunner Michael Patrick King told our sister site Variety, as part of a Pride Month cover story. “I want to show the dimension of Che that people didn’t see, for whatever reason — because they were blinded, out of fear or terror. I want to show more of Che rather than less of Che. Like, really.”

No one hated or feared Che because they were non-binary, but because they were a very badly thought out character. NYC is FULL of standup comedians who could have given MPK the first clue about how they behave. First of all, they don’t have “comedy concerts.” Second, they tell jokes during standup and on podcasts instead of giving Ted Talks. And only horrible people make a big fat hairy deal with a giant party about leaving to shoot a pilot without telling the person they’re in a relationship with beforehand when 99% of the time the pilot won’t be picked up. Gross.
