Kim Cattrall isn't returning for the revival of "Sex and the City" which means the role of Samantha Jones could be up for grabs.
Many fans have been pitching names of different actresses and Jennifer Coolidge was in the mix. But she told Andy Cohen she isn't into the idea.
"You know, I was a huge, and still am, a huge 'Sex and the City' fan. It’s one of those shows [that] you can just watch the reruns and never get times of them," Coolidge, 59, told Cohen on "Watch What Happens Live" on Thursday.
"But I have to say, I am such a Kim Cattrall fan, and I don’t see anyone being able to replace her in that part. It was just the perfect — yeah, I don’t think you can replace her," she said.
