Stepping into the characters, of course, it&#8217;s sad and it&#8217;s tragic, but then there&#8217;s another layer of sadness because Natalie is my buddy, and it&#8217;s, like, \u2018Oh man, I loved working with her and hanging out.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><span class=\"credit\">Disney\/Anne Marie Fox<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Onscreen, Monica\u2019s death will pose its own set of \u201ccurve balls\u201d for the surviving Grey Sloan doctors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of challenges for the people who survived the blast for lots of different reasons,\u201d Hill, 37, hinted to <i>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 rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/grey-anatomy-showrunner-defends-season-125725652.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:a tough dynamic to navigate;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"> a tough dynamic to navigate<\/a> for everybody and health physically, mentally and emotionally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Hill\u2019s Winston, specifically, stepped into support alongside Amelia Shepherd (<strong>Caterina Scorsone<\/strong>) and Jules Millen (<strong>Adelaide Kane<\/strong>) in the premiere while they each navigated their respective grief.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/pictures\/every-star-whos-left-greys-anatomy-where-are-they-now\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Every Star Who\u2019s Left \u2018Grey\u2019s Anatomy\u2019: Where Are They Now?;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Every Star Who\u2019s Left \u2018Grey\u2019s Anatomy\u2019: Where Are They Now?<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\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<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Hill also addressed fans\u2019 speculation that his character might have shared a near-kiss with Kane\u2019s Jules. (While Winston is the head of cardiothoracic surgery, Jules is in the middle of her residency and, thus, his subordinate.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWinston was trying to be there for Jules. He sees she\u2019s having a breakdown. He cares about her. He knows [there are] levels of trauma that are indescribable,\u201d Hill said. \u201cWhat happens through that [are some things] you can\u2019t control, and I think there was an energy between them that was undeniable in that moment. So were either of them going in for a kiss? Not purposefully, but I think what ended up evolving in that scene was something magnetic and special that wasn\u2019t planned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i>Grey\u2019s Anatomy <\/i>airs on ABC Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Natalie Morales has addressed her shocking Grey\u2019s Anatomy death. \u201cGuys, I don\u2019t know what to tell you.
