Following the death of Leslie Jordan in 2022, writer Jeff Greenstein revealed that Joan Collins was in negotiations to reprise her role of Helena Barnes from the previous season episode "My Best Friend's Tush". However, after reading the final script, Collins backed out. The role was rewritten to create the role of Beverly Leslie, who debuted in "My Uncle the Car".[1]
