One of the most notable characters from Sex and the City was Kim Cattrall's Samantha Jones. She was confident, daring, witty, and lively. She was amazing in every scenario she performed, whether it made us feel something or made us laugh aloud. Samantha was not afraid to say or to do what others just thought.
She brought charm, sexual courage, and strength to the group in a way no other character could. When And Just Like That came without her, the viewers could not resist that sense of missing that spark. These seven scenes make us realize again why Samantha was irreplaceable.

Here is the list of the 7 Kim Cattrall scenes from Sex and the City that made us miss her in And Just Like That:
7. The "Try-Sexual" declaration
In Sex and the City, Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) boldly declares over brunch,
"I'm a try-sexual. I'll try anything once."
This statement alone perfectly captures Samantha's sexual openness and open-mindedness. She is an explorer and discoverer who cannot be defined. Thus, she does not imply that she is constrained. It is a relatively short scene, yet it makes a great impression. Samantha's confidence and fearlessness in exploring are demonstrated. She says this in a way that both impresses and makes us chuckle.
Since no one exhibits the same level of audacity and sexual candor as Samantha in And Just Like That, this is felt more strongly in her situation. The new series is more subdued and personal, and the scandalous, luncheon-style conversation is a thing of the past. The genius, radicalism, and openness that Samantha brought to the show are gone without her.
We miss Kim Cattrall’s Samantha because she pushed boundaries in ways the revival does not. Without her energy, fearlessness, and sharpness about sex, the group feels quieter and less electric.
6. The wrestling mat hookup
Samantha and an NYU wrestling coach have sex in Season 4 Episode 8 of Sex and the City. Even when they play a variety of amusing and inventive positions with her on a wrestling mat, she still fails to climax. The scene is absurd, yet it is real in its outrage. It reveals that even a confident person like Samantha can find themselves in a hard time. Kim Cattrall commits fully to the humor and awkwardness. The scene is awkward yet funny. The giggling and daring sex scene seems watered down in And Just Like That. Samantha's excessive desire to try new things and her unrestrained reactions are gone.
She made sexuality enjoyable and honest, even when things did not go as planned, which is one of the reasons we miss her. She was endearing and funny because of the confidence she showed during such embarrassing instances. And Just Like That is more insecure without her. That raw, open, and unexpected humor Kim Cattrall brought is a hole that fans still feel.
5. Sex marathon with "Smith"
The fans of Sex and the City have witnessed a sex scene between Samantha and Smith Jerrod in the Season 6 finale. The scene pushed the show’s limits. The scene unfolded in prominent locations, such as a chair or a window. Samantha takes excitement and spontaneity in a very physical and adventurous way. Such moments are unique, portraying her as a risk-taker and thrill seeker. She is flirty, provocative, and never shy.
In And Just Like That, the spicy elements of sex are nearly absent. The performance flirts with the idea of sexual, unrestrained power. We miss Kim Cattrall’s Samantha because she made sex feel wild and fun. There were scenes with Smith that gave her goosebumps or made her chuckle. The series tries to be adult, but it eventually gets dull without Samantha's vitality. Fans memorialize the electrifying aspect of her personality, which was formerly characterized by her reckless sexualism and willingness to do anything.
4. Hot barn tryst with farmer Luke
In Season 4 Episode 9 of Sex and the City, Samantha goes to a farmer’s hay loft and has an impromptu hook-up with Farmer Luke. She takes some of the milk, flirts, and after some flirting, sex ensues in the barn. The scene is memorable due to the air of adventure and rural freedom accompanied by her boldness. It's humorous, seductive, and shows Samantha's impromptu playfulness.
And Just Like That feels less adventurous, with characters staying close to home instead of diving into wild escapades. The characters dwell in their houses and chat. We miss Kim Cattrall because she brought that carefree spirit. She could break free from the city and surprise us with her spontaneity. She did not care about judgment. Without her, the new show lacks the primary component of wild charm that only Samantha could have contributed, and it is statistically uninteresting.
3. Cancer solidarity
In Sex and the City Season 6, Samantha experiences breast cancer with fierce honesty. At one of her charity events, she gives a moving speech on her battle with illness. She progressively removes her wig on stage during the performance, revealing her bald head. It is a powerful and simple moment. The scene reveals to us that she was suffering in pain and that she is courageous. She is raw and stands tall in front of the people who are used to seeing her glamorous side.
That scene touches the viewers. It provides a thorough understanding of Samantha's frailties. This brute frankness and courage are missing in And Just Like That. No plot gets that heavy. Without Samantha's intense emotional trip, the reboot lacks depth. We miss Kim Cattrall’s strength as Samantha in And Just Like That because that fearless, real self made the character feel human, powerful, and unforgettable.
2. "I will not be judged" scene
Carrie witnesses Samantha engaging in oral sex with the deliveryman at work in Sex and the City's Season 5 Episode 4. The moment in front of Carrie's eyes shocks her. However, Samantha answers forcefully, saying:
“I will not be judged by you or society. I will wear whatever and blow whomever I want…”
The scene is tough, rugged, and memorable. It documents Samantha's unrepentant character. It soon became one of the most notable scenes in the show. Kim Cattrall delivers it with fire. That integrity and courageous remark has not faded to this day. That fearless sexual honesty is replaced in And Just Like That. The revival does not break any such boldness. It is aimed more at civilized chatter and less at taboo-busting jokes.
Samantha's bold sex positivity sets her apart, making her immune to humiliation and leaving audiences wanting more. Without that voice, And Just Like That seems less daring, safer, and devoid of one of Samantha's strongest talents.
1. Sushi Valentine's Day meltdown
Samantha gets ready for her typical Valentine's Day celebration in Sex and the City: The Movie (2008). She spreads wasabi and sushi on her nude body. It becomes a moment of self-love. However, her extravagance collapses when the man gets her to get up. She erupts into a hilarious, glitzy outburst, screaming,
“I am not the type of woman who sits home all day waiting for a man!”
It is appalling and funny. It exhibits the daring sexuality of Samantha as well as her independence of character. In addition to being cheeky and self-indulgent, the sequence is hysterical. There is no such wild energy in And Just Like That. The characters hardly commit any outrageous or bold actions. Without Kim Cattrall and Samantha’s fearless flamboyance, the revival feels calmer and less electric. Someone who would transform Sushi into a theatrical expression of self-love is someone we miss.
Trending When audiences remember Samantha Jones's greatest moments, it is obvious why Kim Cattrall is dearly missed in And Just Like That. She was the sex-positive friend and comic relief, but she was also the beating heart of freedom, bravery, and honesty in Sex and the City. Her character had an advantage in the series because of her wild antics, scathing comments, and emotionally sensitive side.
The show felt less explosive without her bravery. Fans would recall how Samantha always pushed limits and re-invented independence. These scenes revealed that she had never been just a character, but she was the dauntless soul that kept things going in the story.
