Despite his illness, Garson had been busy filming the HBO Max SATC reboot 'And Just Like That...' in New York City this summer. And, as a source close to the show told Daily Mail, while the script for season one is 'set in stone' and Garson's part had been largely filmed in July, executives and writers on the show are already considering how to handle his death in the as-yet-confirmed season two.
According to the same source, Sarah Jessica Parker has already requested that the entire season one of 'And Just Like That...' is dedicated to Garson, who played SJP's gay best friend Stanford Blatch, on all seasons of SATC, as well as the two spin-off movies. The dedication will run in the credits after the show.
'The loss of Willie is devastating for the entire production," the source told the Daily Mail.
"Everyone wants to pay tribute to Willie, because not only was he a pro, but also a kind, caring and fun loving part of the show and films. However, any suggestion of altering the plots at this late stage is simply not on the table. The show's script and production schedule are locked in as are the episode structures."
About a possible season two of the yet-to-air show, the source says:
"Obviously with this loss being so raw at the moment, it will be a while before anyone addresses exactly how a plotline would reflect this. Certainly, there will be many voices in the room looking to discuss a fitting way to deal with this passing."
The source added that Mario Cantone, who plays Garson’s on-screen husband Anthony Marentino, as well as Darren Starr, Parker and Kristen Davis will be ‘part of planning what happens with the writers.'
"One thing is for sure: the series will be dedicated to his memory," the entertainment insider said.
