Chatting to TV Insider, he said: "If we put two and two together and we’ve been paying attention to me being on set, I think it’s safe to say that T.K. does not die, luckily, but that’s not to say that this most recent incident is not gonna affect him mentally and physically.

"Our showrunner, the brilliant Tim [Minear], said that we’re not just gonna fly by these sort of incidents anymore and we’re actually gonna let them live and let them breathe. There’s definitely gonna be some lingering effects mentally and physically."

Fans were not only devastated by TK's condition, but the reaction that his ex-boyfriend Carlos has after rushing to the hospital. Taking to Twitter, one person wrote: "Someone help Carlos looks so [expletive] defeated and broken I can't take it anymore they aren’t even together and he’s regretting so much.
