Just like her famous on-screen alter ego[ Carrie Bradshaw](http://time.com/collection-post/3103783/sex-and-the-city/), [Sarah Jessica Parker](http://time.com/4910597/sarah-jessica-parker-eclipse/) isn’t shying away from delving deep into her emotions about the relationships in her life, including the now-notorious tension between her and fellow [_Sex and the City_](http://time.com/4955992/sjp-nyc-tour/) star, [scatting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1S37dLbR9WA) impresario [Kim Cattrall](http://motto.time.com/4359624/kim-cattrall-insomnia/), who played the irrepressible Samantha Jones.

During an appearance on _Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen_, Parker revealed that she was “just heartbroken” after hearing Cattrall’s [recent comments to Piers Morgan](http://people.com/movies/kim-cattrall-sarah-jessica-parker-satc-3/) that Parker could have been “nicer” when speaking about her of late and and that she and the cast of _SATC_ have “never been friends.”

“That whole week…I found it really upsetting,” Parker said. “That’s not the way I recall our experience. So, it’s sad, but…I always think that what ties us together is this singular experience. It was a professional experience, but it became personal because it was years and years of our lives. I’m hoping that that sort of eclipses anything that’s been recently spoken. That many years spent doing something so special that people had a connection with is such a privilege.”

Both Cattrall and Parker have joked about [replacing Cattrall as Samantha with people like Ellen Degeneres](http://time.com/5110200/sex-and-the-city-kim-cattrall-ellen-degeneres-samantha/) who tried out for the role on her eponymous show; Cohen also later “auditoned” for the role while suggesting that Sharon Stone might be a good candidate, something that Parker gamely entertained, telling him that he wasn’t the first to suggest it to her.


As for whether or not the franchise would kill Cattrall’s character and move on to making a third movie, Parker had an elusive answer.

“I think once everybody has thoroughly experienced the grieving process, then Michael Patrick \[King\] can go back and ponder what he might want to do and how he might want to proceed,” she said. “That’s the most clear answer I’ve given yet.”

Watch the full clip below.


## Transcript

There were like ten looks. Okay. The tutu in the opening credits. Okay, so the tutu in the opening credits, Pat Field. We talked a lot about what this should be. Thrilled that that was the decision we made. I would never wear it myself personally. But I think it's spot on. [ CROSSTALK ] But it just became perfect for the opening credits cuz it- Yes, it's so good for the pie in the face. [ CROSSTALK ] Surprising, yeah. The LA Episode, the Sheer Tunic. Yeah, Pat and I worked a lot on that. This was, I think, a bathing suit actually from her store in 8th street. Really? Which probably men wore even better than I wore.

[ LAUGH ] If you know what I'm talking about. I know what you mean. And I just, when the minute I saw that, we knew what we wanted to do with that. And because it was at the Playboy Mansion, we thought where else is Carrie gonna wear that? Well, also, I wanna ask you about this signature flower. Yes. So when did you start the flower? I can't remember. Fairly early, I mean that was something that Pat and I both wanted and the minute it showed itself on our heads, it was like that's It's going to be there for awhile. That's gonna be something, and then we're going to take it away. [ MUSIC ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
