- Willie Garson's sudden death altered his character’s storyline in 'And Just Like That,' now streaming on HBO Max. The 'Sex and the City' actor was only 57 when he lost his battle with pancreatic cancer, causing 'And Just Like That’ writers to find a way to write off his character, Stanford Blatch.

They handled the absence of Samantha and Stanford so, so terribly. Dude.
I totally agree! I remember when I read that Willie had died in 2021 because my husband was going through cancer himself in 2019-2020 and in 2020 my dad passed away from “Parkinson’s related illness “ (or so we are told to say about Parkinson’s anyway). Then my mother in law passed… so I couldn’t help but remember anyone who passed away in the years around the pandemic, I worked in the entertainment industry so there were many names in my head …and I was really confused and not so happy that that they turned Stanford into a monk living in Japan in the second season. I have no issue with the monk part, but that they seemed to gloss over the character of Stanford. No big thing needed but, still? It felt so empty.
And for Samantha , Kim Cattrall wasn’t easy on production and SJP long before, “And Just Like That…”… not sure the why but I could have done without her… Then there’s Carrie’s love life but won’t say too much season 3 looks like it’s coming at some time
that was a terrible way to explain Stanford’s absence. He deserved better
💯💯💯
But they did a great job of venherating Mr. Big, and covering up that his absence is due to his rape allegations.
How did they explain it because I read even though I’m not watching the show that they were planning on giving his character midlife crisis. He deserve better and another reason why I’m glad I never decided to partake in this new show
@@stylinsue535 🤦🏻♂️
Very cruel altitude from the writers of the script...but the fellow actors should not have agreed.....
Wow, I can hardly believe how much tragedy has followed this reboot! Between the Kim Cattral feud remaining unresolved, the Chris Noth sexual abuse allegations and now Willie Garson's sudden death, I'm beginning to think we should have just allowed our favorite show to be laid to rest instead 😩
So True
It’s getting the Glee treatment 😞 so sad
@@franklinortega334 “The Glee treatment” 😒😒
They should have left the show alone.
Very true
Anyone who's a fan of the series, wouldn't appreciate how they've treated Willi's charecter.
Indeed. But they have made all the characters unlikeable so it isn't new. They have turned into 3 clueless Karens on a personal journey of woke atonement, seemingly as punishment for their 90s transgressions. They have a comedian character, who they had do a netflix special.... with no comedy. Just a 'I'm not sad I have allies and a community!' line. Really shows you where the writers heads are at.
I did appreciate the "by the time you read this I will be gone.... - who is he the fourth Bronte sister?!" line. I don't get why he couldn't be vacationing in Japan and letting Anthony be open whilst there so they can have him interact with others.
Didn't need to run away and divorce in a letter like that. Bad bad writing.
Kim Cattrall was right to stay away. They are butchering these characters.
Totally agree just utterly disappointing and disrespectful.
We definitely don’t.
Neither Kim Catrell!
I agree with Julia D, I think him leaving like that, without saying goodbye to Carrie, and leaving his Husband, wasn't something Stanford would do, he was a kind, caring man. I hope they address it better later in the show, with maybe him knowing he had an illness and didn't want to see his Husband suffer and also see Carrie live with more death and sadness. Just to write him out in this way, is not the way we want to see Stanford go, RIP Willie Garson, we loved you.
Same way they wrote out samantha. It just really didn't make sense for her character to just desert them all and not even show up for mr big's death but I know they had no choice, life happens, people pull out of shows and people die and i guess that's just how best they could do it
I agree. It would have been better if they had have Stanford to go out the way that you said, which they still can. I think they were going for "funny" and felt they couldn't have another "sad" ending right after Mr. Big had died. Willie's death seems like it was sudden (to the cast and crew) and they only had a few episodes in the can at that time. Definitely am going to miss Stanford, a.k. Willie Garson. May he rest in peace.
Exactly very disappointing.
@@DreamBelive07 Totally agree!
💯💯💯 Yet another character they got wrong and did a huge disservice to.
He left his mark in this world, so sad to see him gone. Rest In Peace 🕊
Better than sticking around the reboot does nothing drench itself in pig’s blood.
People die suddenly and unexpectedly in this age group. Better they should have written him an honorable death ☠️ than write a script where he abandons a grieving friend and leaves a note telling his husband he is divorcing him. They found a terrible way to “write off” a sweet character. Shame, shame, shame.
Right. They could have not done the hip surgery and just put a second death in Carrie’s life. That would be more realistic.
I just cannot believe he's dead!!! This is such a shocking and devastating news. Irrespective of what show he pops up in, he immediately becomes the star in it...hilarious, a comedic genius, and always a delight to watch. He's one of a kind and impossible to forget.
They should of been honest,and made his character pass away on the show, many people might think I'm wrong and believe it to be redundant so soon after the death of Big,but clever writers could find away to pull it off,rather than the stupid story line he left for Japan, and wants a divorce, that's stupid and an insult to the audience, he would never leave, never cave an indication of being unhappy, quite the opposite. Bad Bad writing!!!
I agree wholeheartedly. The way they explained his absence leaves it open ended as if he could return in the future and come back to Anthony and the girls, which we all know is not going to be possible. I found what they did a severe disservice to who was as a character and as an actor for all of those years. He was Carrie’s best friend for goodness sake, he wouldn’t just up and leave…….
I agree with you 💯.
Seems to be the mo of the season. Bad writing
He actually did express some discontent
Can’t agree more, the legacy/spirit should carry on, not like this, leave a bad impression on his personality to the audience forever
Rest in peace. You made me laugh as a kid and as an adult. Life is so short and precious.
They did a horrible job with addressing his passing … this remake is cannon for me… movies were the real remake (my apologies for making mistakes English isn’t my first language)
Kim Cattrall didn’t return. Chris Noth was terminated. William Garson passed away. I believe this tv series relaunch was just not meant to happen!
Exactly. Why couldn't they just leave it as it was in their moment of glory. Now it looks forced and not believable.
Am I the only one that thought this was odd?? Why did they do this to him like that?? RIP Willie 🕊️🤍
It comes off as petty! This is not what he deserved, nor us. I'd have appreciated a little closure. So sad!
Yes i agree 💯. They portreyed him like someone that abonded his family/friends(imo). At least give him the proper Honor.
I love how the missing characters from the cast are getting addressed with Carrie going "They got mad and stopped talking to poor little me". Thanks, I now have another reason to hate her character even more.
Why is it always about her? I just dont understand, its never her fault its just always "its them not me", like she cant own up to any wrong doing....so typical carrie and possibly SJP irl seeing how she has creative control of the series
Seriously.
When Anthony mentioned the divorce you could tell it was hard …because even though that was his line he was aknowledging that Willie is gone , because divorce is at times like a death
I felt like they should have given Stanford a much better ending. His love story, wedding and friendship deserved more than just a disappearance suddenly. I understand his death didn’t leave much room for something creative…
I’ll never forget the scene where he went on a date with a guy who had an obsession with dolls… and to get into bed he needed to respect the notion of putting the dolls away first.. 🤣😂
Yesss! Or when he went to the gay club as “rick9plus” to meet “bigtool4u” at an underwear only club, shouting “bigtool4u?!!” among the crowds😂😭
Rest in peace Willie, you represent a part of all of us S&TC lovers.
Willie could take something so simple and make it beyond funny!!! ... His scene with him sitting at the table being hit by the door from the kitchen in a restaurant was hilarious!!! ... I will truly miss him RIP🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💔🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
It's so sad that his last episode was Bigs funeral 😭 heartbreaking. He kept going with his creative work. What a legacy. Beautiful 💔
Not true he was in the third episode a ton !
@@money1137 yeah I was gonna say, he was in an episode past the funeral
Stanford deserve alot better...his character would never leave carrie a letter maybe he posts it 😆.
I remember that episode 😆!! That DAMN Burgur 🙍🏻♂️🍔!!
Riverdale addressed Luke Perry's death in the most beautiful way. Too bad this show didnt do something more respectful for Stanford
Wow SJP sounds so spiteful when she says that’s the kind of absence that should be questioned, she’s implying Samantha’s absence is nothing. Still can’t bring herself to appreciate Kim. No wonder Kim left
Exactly
@@nataliegarcia1121… SJP is spiteful, she’s sometimes comes across as self possessed as her character.
Who cares about Samantha? She chose not to be on the show. Speaking of spiteful, move on Karen!
@@mraanan1… wow such an intelligent response.
Rest in Peace, Willie Garson. Thanks for the laughs.
Because of how oddly he'd left, I wonder if they're making Stanford's story closer to reality than we think. What if Stanford, as well, is dealing with a terminal illness? What if he's doing this -- breaking things off with his husband, leaving without a face-to-face goodbye -- because it'll make things easier on everyone, including himself, when he dies later on in the season?
I hope they can attempt to graciously address loss-Carrie losing big, and Samantha, and Stanford, all in different ways yet all just as significant and heavy.
Dear@@christybradley9471~ (AND) Dear Julia (^From Above ^), BOTH Of Your Thoughtful Comments Were Sublime And I Sincerely Hope That You BOTH Read My Comment To You BOTH. Thank You, My Dears.🥀🍂🍁🥀
@@christybradley9471 That'd be great if they could. It'd be a great theme for the whole season. Loss -- of friends, of family, of youth, of ways of looking at the world -- and learning how to deal with all types.
@@poohbearsauntie thank you!
@@poohbearsauntie you’re lovely! Happy holidays!
I just can’t ! 😭😭😭 Like Willie has been with this show since the very first episode over 20 yr ago . It just breaks my heart ! 💞❤️💞😭😭
I love watching every scene with him. And he was part of the best couple. What a pity.
Kim Cattrall is one smart cookie to stay far away from this disaster.
Facts
Willie also played a great role on "white collar" 💙💜
I just want to cry 😢 it's sooooo sad
I will really miss him. He's a good friend to all of us. Rest in peace my friend.
I thought this was a lazy writing choice. Willie Garson and his character deserved more. This is a plot line from every cheesy soap opera ever.
I absolutely agree with you...
It is, was, and will always be, a cheesy soap opera. What did you expect?🤮
He was a wonderful person. I'm so honored to have met him and enjoyed a brief but meaningful afternoon. 🙏💖
So very sad,he was such a great guy and a wonderful character on the show......he will be missed...........Donna in Toronto
I honestly didn’t like how they went about it…
Aww. He will be missed. I of course didnt know him personally but I loved the character he played. RIP Willie 🙏 🕊 ☮ 😌
😢😢😢 R.I.P really sad.
Willie Garson RIP, OMG didn’t know 😢
They did a horrible job addressing his passing. It was a slap in the face and explains alot of Kim's frustrations on why she didn't want to return.
Willie was a pivotal part of the shows. They could have addressed it later if they felt the "Fake" death of Big was to soon.
Which they did more for than the an actual passing of a beloved actor.
I totally understand they had to come up with something fast, but this was so disappointing for the impact he made.
Am starting to understand the negativity people have against the show. #RipWillieGarson 🙏🏾
They know that we know that Samantha is the best! 🤍
Fake death?
I agree with you
Willie was one of my favorite actors, I would have loved to have met him. He always made me laugh. His quirkiness was infectious.
They should have swopped the reason to say Kimberly is managing a client across the world and just say Stanford had a sickness and passed on simply. They did both kim and Stanford dirty as always.
Samantha you mean? Kimberly is Kim Cattrall.
May he rest in peace.🙏🙏🙏☹️
Sarah Jessica is so shady I’m so glad Kim isn’t apart of this failing flop show , but poor Willie always loved him and in Freaky Friday.
WTF SJP, no one needs to ask why he isn't there 🙄 we all know. Whyyy did you make it this way tho??? Running off to Tokyo?? Ooo you did Stanford dirty! Miss Blatch deserves a better send off than that!
Condolence to the family
I miss Willie Garson - what a loss of this fantastic actor and amazing human being. I have to admit, my favorit Willie Garson part is as Mozzie in White Collar - with out him this show would have been a bit boring despite of the super great actors playing the main roles. Wille gave something totally extraordinary, intelligent and humorous to White Collar. Love it and watched it a 100 times. Willie Garson is one actor I will never forget, I think those who claim he was underrated as an actor are right.
My ex partner is a writer in Hollywood and it’s highly unlikely that the writers of AJLT will place “Stanfords” death in the story line. They just permanently wrote him out of the show like they did. I’m sure they didn’t want to start off the new, limited run series with TWO hugely significant deaths of two major characters and risk making the show TOO realistically depressing.
Saw 4 episodes. absolutely fabulous, great es ever!!
As a fan of the original series I don't like how they treated Willie's Stanford he deserved a better send off and I hope he gets one
its crazy how after Bigs death in episode 2 he had that conversation with Anthony saying how happy they were.. and now Japan and divorce
They did him dirty, he deserved so much more!!!
I will definitely be missing him. Such a iconic legend #RIPWillieGarson
"Well fine, good, Sayonara.." Really? That's a pretty snarky tone they used to write him out.
Wow this reboot got it all wrong Big should have been in Tokyo and Will should have been a true contribute to his life I'm really disappointed with all respect to will
MaY He Rest In Peace
This reboot is a disaster that should never happen in all different ways
I hated it…. Gone over seas and wants a divorce??????? I was like so this is how we are gonna write ✍️ him off 😳😣
Rest in peace 🙏
l really loved Stanford he was smart funny and adorable he will be missed
The SATC reboot makes me feel so much better that Friends never got a reboot. Reboots totally kill the vibe.
Rip x x x willie
I have a hypothesis about Stanford’s exit arc. I think this Tokyo business is just half of it. I think that he found out he was ill, perhaps the same cancer he had in real life, and so he concocted the excuse about Tokyo so that he could “spare” his loved ones. So I think maybe later in the series, they’ll find out he passed away but didn’t actually want a divorce/ didn’t want to leave Carrie, but simply didn’t want to be ill to them.
They should hire you to write.
RIP Willie.
The show is cursed. No Kim Katrell, Chris Norde scandal and Willies death. Cursed.
RIH Willie Garson 🙏❤️
This show really doesn’t know how to deal with character absences
They are addressing all this woke bs, why don’t they address his death? We all know he’s dead in real life. Come on SJP! We the fans wanted to help you give him a good send off!
Yeah I was expecting more from the storyline.
Your title is misleading: they didn't address his passing on the show, they sent Stanford to Tokyo. The writers should've acknowledged his death, because this just feels sloppy.
Willie as Stanford was the absolute BEST. A beloved character in SATC. AJLT’s (non)“handling” of his death was the WORST. Shamefully so. But then…the whole season was shameful. He deserved so much better. RIP Willie. #gonetoosoon
They really just have no clue how to gracefully handle anything. SJP for sure had them parallel her IRL feud with Kim for the Samantha storyline and now this? Willie and Stanford deserved so much better
They wrote him out in most horrible ridiculous way possible, it was so unnecessary
This was done kind of grossly, Rest In Peace Willie
That's so sad. He was brilliant in that role.
It is all about clothes, looks and the whole array of virtual choices and values we are thought at school.
Haven't watched it yet hope its good
I read they wanted to make it light hearted, a little funny and didn't want to kill his characted as he is actually gone. I feel like they did well with it. It's kinda quirky like hubby is all surprised and acts like they had the perfect relationship/marriage it's hilarious
Sanford was a good friend on sex in the city, I love sex in the city and I also like And just like that, my deepest condolences to his family I will miss seeing him on And just like that I loved his character. 😌😔
Can I just say Carries obnoxious squeal in the first episode when their table was ready for brunch was torture & so dramatic. The girl definitely loves to play Carrie & it shows.
Right? I knew as soon as I saw that juvenile obnoxious squeal, that I wasn't going to enjoy this reboot. I watched the first two episodes (was like watching a train wreck happen), but just can't watch more. And I'm not a SJP hater, but Carrie is the character she plays in every single movie she's in.
She's not a girl she's a women and what's wrong with loving a characters 🤣🤣
@@gparsons320 Not sure if you ever gave it another shot, but for what it's worth I too was put off by the first two episodes and then I didn't watch any others for months. Then when I finally did, the rest of the season turned out to be a lot better than those first two made it seem. A lot of Carrie's annoying traits were drastically toned down, you can see how Big's death forces her to become a lot more mature very fast.
He was so funny and great actor. He did great in Stargate SG1 guest star roles.
They did a disservice to his character and the could of addressed his death in the show also, and the complete personality change of the character Stanford was insulting
This guy hasn’t aged. I am surprised he passed. RIP.
U can tell they haven't watched re runs of sex and the city because the message for Willie is displayed in episode 1 of every season
Honestly they did it in a shitty unsensible way...
Not liking at all how this was addressed. I honestly think it would have been better to have the character pass away, even with what happened to Big. People die. It is often not expected, and the timing is not something that can be controlled. Having Stanford die right after Big would have shown just how random life can be. I knew a family who lost 2 teenagers within 2 weeks of each other in 2 separate car accidents. These things do happen. Look at Carrie Fisher and her mom, dying within a day of each other. The way it was handled makes Stanford look like a jerk, and he was the exact opposite of that.
The best written character in the series, period.
May his soul rest in God's loving embrace 🙏🙏
So very sad.....RIP
SARAH SHADING KIM I SEE 👀 .."we should be focusing"?!
Well said SJP ♥️
These writers need to watch Mr Maisel. Superb clothing, brilliant writing. They addressed a cast member death in a respectful, meaningful way. This was addressed the whole episode, not for 5 seconds. AJLT writers are truly disrespectful and untalented.
This show is getting the Glee treatment 😞 so sad
I just realised that Stamford from SITS is also on friends. He is the President of the Tenants Committee where Ross won’t pay for the handy man
So many problems 🤦♂️
The writing was horrendous in so many ways. Him vanishing to party with a 17 yr old just felt rushed. X
LOL they definitely got the morality and behavior of Big confused with that of Sanford.
This show is about journeys through life. We meet people that that we had know lost loved ones as we march through life. Why not present this as another death? It would have been authentic.
Stanford wouldn’t have left Carrie and Anthony in a letter! He wouldn’t have left them both like that! He was too caring, to sweet, had to much compassion and empathy! They need to some how eventually disclose what really happened to him. It would be what he really wanted.
Right, so unbelievable
some times a story should just be left at happily ever after. Just because you can do something doesnt mean you should.
R.I.P
I really love SJPs attitude. I’m a business woman myself and have learned a lot about dealing with difficult situations publicly and redirecting the attention away from drama and onto what actually matters. It’s team SJP for me all the way. 💜
