Is another one biting the dust? Chandra Wilson, who plays Chief of Surgery Miranda Bailey on Greys Anatomy, opened up about her characters future on the medial drama after a new promo hinted that she may be departing the show.

TV Shows Gone Too Soon!

ABC sent fans into a frenzy after releasing an intense trailer for the Thursday, February 1, episode, (Dont Fear) the Reaper, in which Bailey suffers a heart attack. Lets say Bailey has been stressed, Wilson, 48, told Entertainment Weekly on Wednesday, January 31, of her characters condition. Is Bailey leaving? I think this is the right thing to say: Baileys been stressed and needs to take care of herself.

Wilson also teased that Bailey is under pressure to due to her unwillingness to accept husband Dr. Ben Warrens career switch the former surgical resident is now pursuing firefighting, which will be showcased on his spinoff series, Station 19. She hasnt had any problems telling anyone who will listen that shes not happy about it at all, Wilson explained. He has already switched careers once, from anesthesiology to becoming a resident, because thats supposedly where his passion was, and now his passion is changing again.

And although Wilsons character may be inherently supportive of her husbands choice, she fears the unknown. Bailey doesnt like unstable ground. She likes to know whats happening next and whats going to happen after that, Wilson continued. Even though she would never begrudge someone the opportunity to expand and to explore and to be their best self, she still likes things to be consistent, so shes not very happy with her husband, and not being able to express that unhappiness coupled with the normal stresses of the position that shes been in, thats a lot on her plate.

Wilson added that Thursdays episode will delve deep into Baileys past and reveal why she behaves the way she does. There are things that get revealed in this episode about Baileys upbringing that make you understand the person that youve been seeing since the pilot, Wilson said. Where shes coming from, why she behaves the way she behaves, the kind of relationships that she has with her family, the kind of relationships she has with patients, the driven, professional woman that she is you get a glimpse of where the seed of her comes from.

Fans took to Twitter to wonder whether Wilson will head to Station 19 to be with Warren.

Greys Anatomy airs on ABC Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET.
