Sex and the City actor Willie Garson, who died in September aged 57<\/a>,\u00a0was due to star in a \u201cbeautiful last scene\u201d in And Just Like That<\/a> prior to his death.<\/p>\n Showrunner Michael Patrick King told TVLine<\/a> that Garson\u2019s on-screen character Stanford Blatch was originally \u201csupposed to be in all 10 episodes\u201d, but the actor\u2019s illness prevented it.<\/p>\n Instead, the character abruptly left for Tokyo in episode four, leaving Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) a letter \u2013\u00a0and another asking his husband Anthony (Mario Cantone) for a divorce.<\/p>\n \u201cDearest Carrie, by the time you read this I\u2019ll be in Tokyo,\u201d the note said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t tell you \u2013 not without crying. And you have had enough crying.\u201d<\/p>\n In fact, King added that \u201cthere was a beautiful last scene that was going to be between Carrie and Stanford that he wasn\u2019t well enough to do, which explained a little bit more\u201d.<\/p>\n Garson died of complications due to pancreatic cancer. He had filmed three episodes of And Just Like That before his death.<\/p> Speaking to The New York Times<\/a>, Sarah Jessica Parker paid tribute to Garson, suggesting that his character Stanford would have had his most \u201csignificant storyline\u201d to date.<\/p>\n \u201cHe intended and wanted to complete the entire season,\u201d she said. \u201cHe had a very significant storyline, more so than ever, so it was my fervent hope that he would be able to do it all. And for Willie to have to leave, you knew that it was serious. If Willie could be there and do one more episode or one more scene, he would have done it.<\/p>\n \u201cBut he knew what he needed to do to take care of his son and of himself, and I am so glad that he did that because when he passed away, he wanted to do so in an environment and circumstance that made him feel safe and comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n And Just Like That episodes one to four are available to stream now on NOW. The episode five arrives next Thursday. If you\u2019re looking for more to watch, check out our TV Guide<\/a>.
