Another A-list star snubs SATC reprisal on And Just Like That amid Kim Cattrall's feud with Sarah Jessica Parker
Kyle MacLachlan said creative differences have kept him from appearing on the Sex and the City spinoff And Just Like That. The Emmy-nominated actor, 66, explained on Wednesday to Us Weekly his rationale in not yet reprising the role of Trey MacDougal, the ex-husband of Kristin Davis ' character Charlotte York, on the HBO series. 'Listen, I would love to come back and have fun,' said the actor, also known for his work as FBI special agent Dale Cooper on the iconic 90s mystery Twin Peaks. The veteran actor, appearing at a God's Love We Deliver's event in New York City on the late June evening, delved into detail about the creative differences he had with producers regarding a comeback to the franchise amid tension between Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall. 'What they suggested to me, I said, "I think there should be more." So I just said, "I wonder, if the relationship that Charlotte and Trey had demands a little more than their first idea."' MacLachlan told the magazine about what he thought would be a good destination for the Trey MacDougal character. 'I had suggested that Trey has maybe moved to Napa and has a very successful winery and label there - you can see where I'm going with this. He said, 'But no, I actually haven't said anything yet ... it'd be very interesting.' MacLachlan said that 'regardless' of if he returns or not, he think's the show is 'doing great.' The actor, who has been seen in films such as Echo Valley, Showgirls and Blue Velvet, had kind words for the principle cast of the HBO series. And Just Like That has seen Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Davis reprise their respective roles as Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes and York. Said MacLachlan: 'They're all lovely. And I adore them.' Cattrall has not appeared on the rebooted show regularly amid years of tension with Parker. The star did make a shock comeback to the franchise for the reboot two years ago. She reprised the iconic role of Samantha Jones in the 11th episode of the second season, titled The Last Supper Part Two: Entree. The episode featuring Cattrall - who reportedly made $1 million for one day of work on the reboot - was first broadcast August 24, 2023. Sex and the City initially aired June 6, 1998, focusing on 'four female New Yorkers [who] gossip about their sex lives (or lack thereof) and find new ways to deal with a woman in the late 1990s,' a logline for the series read. It turned out to be a huge smash hit for HBO, and ran for 94 episodes over six seasons, racking up a total of seven Primetime Emmys.

‘Anna Wintour? I found her efforts to seem intimidating almost comical'
I have Anna Wintour to thank for bringing me firmly into the Condé Nast fold — and also for either inadvertently or advertently giving me reason to leave that fold 30 years later. We didn't meet the way normal people do. She essentially inherited me. When Condé Nast's chairman, Samuel Irving 'Si' Newhouse Jr, asked her to take over House & Garden in 1987, she was given a magazine with a charmed history and a number of staff and contract writers, me included. Lacking the discernment of previous editors of my freelance offerings, Anna kept me on contract when she took over. I found Anna in those days to be cosy, conspiratorial and completely enticing. My feelings toward her ran in opposition to the tagline 'Nuclear Wintour', which was then at the beginning of its long run. She was a great and loyal friend, and as a result, she had a lot of close friends. Also, she had gone out with Christopher Hitchens, a big validation in my book.
