Mickey wasn't just a hair stylist; he was the soul of the show. Morris passed away in 2017 at the age of 77 after a battle with stage 4 melanoma. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, King noted that Mickey's absence is a "big loss" that the show cannot ignore. "People fell in love with Valerie because of Mickey," King stated, promising that the script will acknowledge his absence in a way that truly serves the character.
