Samantha Jones is coming back for a cameo in season two of ‘AndJustLikeThat’. Thank goodness, writes Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett for Vogue.
. Her escapades were the most daring, her lines the most knowing, and her absence meant a certain pizzazz was missing from thespin-off, with the remaining cast all seeming a little bit… conventional without her. Granted, Miranda jacking in her marriage to Steve for a whirlwind romance with Che is a curveball no one expected to see coming, but still, like her friends – who are either in, mourning or seeking a long-term relationship – she wants one thing: monogamy.
Samantha may only be appearing in the second series for what rumours say will be a brief phone call, but it’s fun to speculate about what her London life might entail. Having previously battled her fear of commitment and enjoyed a years-long relationship with Jerry “Smith” Jerrod, Samantha jettisoned monogamy with the immortal line “I love myself more” in the firstmovie. It’s easy to imagine her returning to the carefree single life for which her forty-something character became so beloved.
And yet: Samantha is now in her sixties . Beautiful, successful and liberated though she may be, she is not immune from sexism, and we have seen her battling insecurities and worrying about ageing before. Watching her continue to date and have flings in later life would be a far more daring approach to her storyline than ensconcing her in a comfortable long-term partnership.
Of course, if there are interesting, fun, high-powered men in their sixties and seventies out there who aren’t in pursuit of women half their age, Samantha is the one to find them. I doubt it will be on the apps, though. Perhaps she’ll join one of those elite sex clubs that convene in opulent London townhouses, strictly by invitation only, or look more internationally .
