He added, “We wrote the most hilarious comic, tragic arc for Stanford.
And he’s just looking at me.
Then he took a turn for the worst.

I really thought we could get through the season.
When he took a turn, we had to talk about the fact that he couldn’t make it.
And we had to adjust [storylines].”

It’s too sad.
And it’s too tragic.
It’s not a fictional death.

It’s a real death."
But we had to wonder what Stanford’s storyline was going to be before his health heartbreakingly declined.
It was going to be Carrie and him, feeling the shifts.
Anthony and him were probably going to have split anyway" (viaPeople).

Sadly, fans will not get to see those scenes.
There was no way I could write myself out of that in any charming, cute way."
