King gave a resounding 'Yes!' when asked if Carrie and Samantha would still be texting in the upcoming season, as they did briefly in the first season.
The texting culminated in the first season finale, in which Carrie asked her absent friend to meet up with her when she took a trip to Paris to scatter Big's ashes.
'I'm in Paris. Want to meet for a cocktail?' she texts Samantha.
'How's tomorrow night?' she replies virtually, with Carried adding, 'FABULOUS.'
King delved into what the writers imagined would have been said between the two women in the scene, which went unfilmed due to Cattrall's ongoing boycott of the series.
