Sarah Jessica Parker has admitted a return to Sex And The City is a “very nice idea”, but she wants to make sure it would be worth it for the show’s devoted fans.
The actress is still best known for her role as fashion-loving sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw in the TV series and two subsequent movies – and still has not ruled out a third outing.

She told the Radio Times: “We always feel honour-bound to those women who gave their dollars not just to pay for movie tickets, but also all those years on HBO. So we feel it better be worth it again to ask for anybody’s time and money.
“For all of us to be together again and shoot on the streets of New York is a very nice idea. But no matter how much people may or may not want us to do it, we want to be considerate of that choice.”

Sarah, 51, will next be seen back on TV in Divorce, in which she and Thomas Haden Church play a married couple in the process of separating.
Sarah serves as a producer on the series, which was written by Catastrophe star Sharon Horgan, and said she embraced the differences between her role of Frances and that of Carrie Bradshaw.
She described the characters as “strikingly different” in terms of life choices, surroundings and financial situations – as well as in their relationships with men and clothing.
She added: “But we didn’t do that to be different. And I recognise that I look like me! And I still mostly walk like me. So that person walks like Carrie. But she also walks like Frances.
“The storytelling is very different. There’s not the same kind of buoyancy in this show; the frivolity that was innate to Sex And The City does not exist here.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
