A short-lived character that left a lasting impact on the cast and crew. Just as it was in Yellowstone, viewers of the Kayce Dutton-led spinoff found out that no character is safe. This past weekend marked the 11th episode of Season 1 of Marshals, which means there are only two episodes of the CBS procedural left. That is, until Season 2 comes along, which has already been ordered and will start filming in May (and could air as soon as this Fall). If you’re a few episodes behind, I’d stop reading here because we are going to full-send it with spoilers. Although these episodes are now a few weeks old, we still have to make sure we aren’t telling y’all without any warning… The May 10 episode had a lot of moving parts. Kayce Dutton and Cal were still dealing with the aftermath of the prison bus crash, all while flashbacks returned viewers to when Kayce and Cal were serving in the NAVY Seals alongside Green’s Garrett. In the current day, Riley Green’s Garrett was still recovering in the hospital from burns and smoke inhalation after a fire broke out at Kayce’s ranch. Though he didn’t appear to be doing well when we had seen him last, there weren’t any real indications that he was on his deathbed. But sure enough, when Kayce and Cal wrapped up their Marshals mission in the present day and went back to the hospital along with Andrea (Green’s romantic interest in the show) to visit with Garrett, a nurse informed them that Garrett’s injuries were too severe to overcome, and that he had died a couple of hours after Kayce had last seen him. The story of Garrett was tragic from the start, so it’s not all that surprising that it ended like this. After all, we knew going into Green’s run as Garrett would be a four-episode arc, and with how his story was going, it wasn’t going to make much sense for him just to leave Kayce’s ranch. The May 10 episode was the country music’s fourth – and now evidently final – episode. However, according to an interview his love interest, Ash Santos, gave to PEOPLE, the “Worst Way” singer was eager to star in more episodes and hoped that maybe an alternative plot could have been dreamt up for Garrett. “He joked, he was like, ‘Damn, I was really hoping I’d stick around longer,’ and we were like, ‘With your schedule? You’re always at some concert.'” I mean, that’s a fair statement to say. Riley Green has a very busy schedule, and he previously admitted that filming while on tour wore him out. He was juggling filming and his music career to the max: “We booked two flights a week to Utah. I would fly out on a Sunday and film Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Fly wherever the bus was on Thursday. Play Thursday, Friday, Saturday. (Fly back to Utah on Sunday). I did that for a month and a half, and it wore me out.” Nevertheless, Green’s final departure from the Mashals set was emotional for the cast and crew, as they loved working with the country music star. Ash Santos revealed that the hair and makeup team were especially upset that Riley Green’s character was killed off, and the possibility of his returning for season 2 died. “Our hair-and-makeup team, especially, those women LOVED him… We had people on our crew who were so upset with (showrunner) Spencer (Hudnut) for weeks when they got that episode.” And according to Ash Riley Green, his kind gestures on set were not just an act; he was also heartbroken not to see the crew of the show after his time, sending the hair and makeup team flowers to say thank you for all their hard work. “He’s very sweet. He was so kind to our cast and our crew. I mean, the day that he wrapped, he was flying out — he was performing in a show that night — and while he was getting in the car, he was already having flowers delivered for the hair-and-makeup team to say thank you.” Talk about a gentleman through and through. It sounds like all of his co-stars and the crew would welcome Riley Green back onto set anytime. Santos shared that Riley Green was a natural in his acting debut and that he has a calling to pursue this career path further, so he should choose it. “I think when you’re an artist, you are so in tune in that way creatively that it makes it easy to pivot into something else. And then when you’re a singer, you’re telling stories all the time with your songs… It was easy for him, and it definitely showed on screen. He has a natural ability. He’s just so fun.” Riley Green’s time on Marshals might have been short-lived, but he clearly made a lasting impression on everyone involved with the show. I will be interested to see if he appears in any other Taylor Sheridan universe after the success of Garrett’s character. The season finale aired last night, May 24, so check out how it wrapped up if you’re interested. As mentioned earlier, the show will take a break and return for an 18-episode Season 2 later this year.
