American Horror Story and Glee creator Ryan Murphy weighed in on the recent Sex And The City shelving, which many fingers have pointed to Kim Cattrall as being the blame.

“I don’t get it!” Ryan said at the New Yorker Festival this weekend. “Look, I would be very devastated if I created something cultural like that and 95 percent of the team said, ‘Let’s do it,’ but there was a hold on it… I don’t blame Kim Cattrall though.”

His solution: “Recast Samantha!”

Of the characters, he said, “They meant something to me – they were important and cultural in changing the discussion of women and sexuality.”
