In the recent episode of 'And Just Like That...', Harry reveals to Charlotte that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, which impacts their relationship. Though the prognosis is positive, this development is significant for Charlotte's character growth. Actor Evan Handler emphasizes that his character serves to highlight the experiences of women in their 50s, a theme rarely tackled in television. Handler believes this storyline ultimately strengthens the bond between Harry and Charlotte, underscoring Harry's role as a source of stability amidst relationship tumult.
This is one of the few shows on the air - now or ever - dealing with women in their 50s, and the things that they go through.
I have long existed on Sex and the City and in that world in service of the women in their storylines. And I think that's the way it should be.
The natural result of that is that Harry endures... That Harry and Charlotte endure.
This is actually the only time [showrunner] Michael Patrick King called me in advance, and said: 'This is what we're cooking up for Harry. How do you feel about it?'
Handler sees the turn as a 'vehicle' for Charlotte's character development, not his own.
