This prompted backlash from fans who felt Samantha was a crucial part of the original series' friendships and legacy. Meanwhile, Cynthia Nixon discussed the deep, long-standing bond she shares with her co-stars, emphasizing how well they know each other's personal lives, which adds intensity to their on-screen chemistry.
