In AndJustLikeThat, Samantha Jones has become the elusive—yet all-important—‘text friend’
And Just Like That...
, Samantha’s departure from the show’s central quartet was illuminated in a new way, as Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie texted Samantha about accidentally mentioning her by name when she told a crude story on a podcast while on pain medication.
A few months ago, I moved to Austin, Texas, just under 2,000 miles from my loosely assembled group ofin New York City, and I can honestly say that I don’t know where any of us would be without the modern convenience of texting.
Phone calls require time, something none of us have enough of, and as we approach Year 3 of the pandemic, I can safely say we’ve all succumbed to Zoom fatigue. Texts, on the other hand, are a low-effort way of keeping in touch and sharing the minutiae of our days with each other.
I’m proud to say that, as of now, none of my friends have declined to appear in the post-New-York-exodus reboot of our friendship, but seeing Samantha clearly think on a response to Carrie—then abandon it—hit too close to home, as a veteran of the disappearing chat bubble.
