“#Willie Garson Gets Emotional Sendoff From And Just Like That…<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Willie Garson’s exit from HBO Max’s And Just Like That… has been explained.<\/p>\n

Garson, who played fan-favorite Stanford Blatch on the Sex and the City revival, died earlier this year while filming the series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The fourth episode of the revival dropped Thursday, and found Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) back in her old Upper East Side apartment following the death of Mr. Big (Chris Noth).<\/p>\n

In a truly shocking scene, she found an envelope with her name on it.<\/p>\n

Intrigued, Carrie opens it to learn that it’s a goodbye letter from Stanford, who has left the country.<\/p>\n

“Dearest Carrie, by the time you read this I’ll be in Tokyo. I couldn’t tell you \u2014 not without crying,” a part of the letter read.<\/p>\n

\n

“And you have had enough crying.”<\/p>\n

Stanford’s husband, Anthony (Mario Cantone) shed more light on the departure when he showed up at Carrie’s apartment.<\/p>\n

“You’re smoking?” he asked, but Carrie chose to answer by asking a question:<\/p>\n

“Stanford’s in Japan?”<\/p>\n

\n

\"And<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Anthony showed Carrie a dancer Stanford manages.<\/p>\n

“That’s Ashley,” he shared.<\/p>\n

“The 17-year-old Long Island TikTok star he manages. She’s huge in Asia. She asked him to go on tour with her. I do not get her, but then I’m old, gay and not Japanese.”<\/p>\n

“Well fine, good, sayonara,” Carrie said. “But why the dramatic note? ‘By the time you read this, I’ll be in Tokyo.’ Who is he, the lost Bronte sister?”<\/p>\n

\n

\"Willie<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

“He said he couldn’t bring himself to tell you he was leaving face-to-face after Big died,” Anthony said.<\/p>\n

“Right, and a note is so much more compassionate,” she hit back.<\/p>\n

“Oh you know Stanny, he hates to disapp<\/a>oint people … in person,” Anthony responded.<\/p>\n

“Still, you know, if something good is happening in one of my friends’ lives \u2014 and I’m assuming he considers this good \u2014 I want to know about it. No matter what is going on in mine. Good news<\/a> or bad, I want to know,” Carrie said.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Willie<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Anthony then revealed that he also got a letter, asking for a divorce.<\/p>\n

“I don’t get it. We were so happy,” he added.<\/p>\n

Indeed, they were happy at one point, but their relationship seemingly fizzled out by the time the reboot started.<\/p>\n

Garson was supposed to be seen on-screen say his goodbyes to the characters, but showrunner Michael Patrick King told Vulture that Garson’s illness prevented a conclusion that included the late actor.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Willie<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

“My final interaction with Willie came when I spoke to him on the phone about a scene I had written for him to come in and do with Sarah Jessica \u2013 just Carrie and Stanford. It was a scene to explain his absence in the series.”<\/p>\n

“He was very realistic with me; he said, ‘Please, don’t think I don’t want to do it \u2014 I can’t.’ When I remember my time with Willie, the first thing I\u2019ll think of is his love of being an actor. Every part of it.”<\/p>\n

Parker revealed in the same interview that Garson wanted to give Stanford a bigger role.<\/p>\n

“[Willie] intended and wanted to complete the entire season. He had a very significant story line, more so than ever, so it was my fervent hope that he would be able to do it all.”<\/p>\n

\n

\"Willie<\/img><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

“And for Willie to have to leave, you knew that it was serious.”<\/p>\n

“If Willie could be there and do one more episode or one more scene, he would have done it.”<\/p>\n

“But 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.”<\/p>\n
