The conversation went as follows.

“Wait, are you in any scenes with SJ?” asked Cohen, a close friend of And Just Like That… star and executive producer Sarah Jessica Parker.

LuPone replies, “Yes, I am.”

Cohen continues, “Oh, great. Do you know how many episodes you’re in?”

“Just two, but I just finished three episodes of Palm Royale,” she said.

“Oh, really? Great,” he follows up.

“Oh, I don’t know if I’m allowed to say that. Oh well, I did. I think Marvel’s gonna come after me for saying I was on Palm Royale,” LuPone says concerning Marvel, as she recently starred in Agatha All Along.

Cohen follows up, “Did you get to hang out with Carol Burnett at all?”

“No, I’m not in her story, I’m sorry to say. I’m in my own story,” LuPone says. Burnett stars in Palm Royal as ‘Norma Dellacorte.’

“Oh, that’s so funny. Any Ricky Martin crossover for you?” asks Cohen.

“Yes. Actually, we crossed over in the makeup trailer. He’s the sweetest guy. I met him when he was doing Evita.”

Unless Martin will appear in the series as a ghost, a zombie or part of flashbacks, it seems as if Robert Diaz is alive and well in Season 2. Let the speculation begin.
