"I really do want people to understand that this was about telling these stories and bringing them to a place where there was a finish," Michael told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Aug. 14. "And by 'finish,' I mean an open-ended finish, where each of the characters' lives could continue and you could feel good about it for all of them. It's what you want to write now that we're done. We're done writing." In the end, the trio of women-who along with Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) were introduced to the world in 1998-all settled into their lives with their families and loves.
