Natalie Morales<\/strong> has addressed her shocking Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/i><\/a> death.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuys, I don\u2019t know what to tell you. I\u2019m not dead,\u201d Morales, 40, said in a Friday, October 10, TikTok<\/a> video. \u201cI\u2019m right here. Don\u2019t worry No matter what you\u2019ve heard or what you\u2019ve read in the comments of all my other videos, I didn\u2019t die.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cI\u2019m right here. You can come see me any time you want. Thank you for worrying though.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morales recently played pediatric surgeon Dr. Monica Beltran on Grey\u2019s. <\/i>Her character \u2014 spoiler alert \u2014 died in the Thursday, October 9, season 22 premiere. Monica had been among the Grey Sloan Memorial doctors injured in a fatal explosion<\/a> on the operating room floor of the hospital.<\/p>\n

While fans were stunned to learn of Monica\u2019s death, so were the cast members themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t tell us a lot. It was to the point over the summer, I had texted Chris Carmack<\/strong>, who plays Link, and I was like, \u2018Hey, man, so do you make it or what\u2019s going on?\u2019 And, like, he didn\u2019t know either,\u201d Anthony Hill<\/strong>, who plays Dr. Winston Ndugu, exclusively told Us Weekly <\/i><\/a>on Friday. \u201cA lot of us aren\u2019t really sure about all the details, and they kind of keep that from us \u2014 probably on purpose \u2014 because some of us talk a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cI think it was surprising once we got the script, which was right before we started filming, and then, it was sad because you\u2019re thinking about it from a perspective of your coworkers [and] not just characters. Stepping into the characters, of course, it\u2019s sad and it\u2019s tragic, but then there\u2019s another layer of sadness because Natalie is my buddy, and it\u2019s, like, \u2018Oh man, I loved working with her and hanging out.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Onscreen, Monica\u2019s death will pose its own set of \u201ccurve balls\u201d for the surviving Grey Sloan doctors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of challenges for the people who survived the blast for lots of different reasons,\u201d Hill, 37, hinted to Us. <\/i>\u201cEverybody has their own traumas from that experience in that blast, and then, picking up the pieces and trying to literally put the hospital back together and figure out how to move forward is going to be a tough dynamic to navigate<\/a> for everybody and health physically, mentally and emotionally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hill\u2019s Winston, specifically, stepped into support alongside Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone<\/strong>) and Jules Millen (Adelaide Kane<\/strong>) in the premiere while they each navigated their respective grief.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a very emotional scene for Addie to play, so it\u2019s a layered scene for her,\u201d Hill explained of Winston and Jules\u2019 scene in a supply closet. \u201cI just found myself trying to be present with my acting coworker and [tried] to help [her] give the best performance [she] could. \u2026 It\u2019s heated, like, it\u2019s charged. I don\u2019t know if we were aware of that fully, but seeing it play out [in the episode] was really beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n
